Hi All, I'm Lisa, and I became the proud owner of a Galaxy Blue GT86 on Friday. I discovered this club as the Dealer I was buying the car from was struggling to source a new gearknob, so searched the owners clubs as they are always a fantastic source of information and parts. @Gregski had exactly what I needed. The previous owner used the car as dog transport, and seems the dog used the gearknob as a chew toy. Just grabbed a couple of photos of my 86 for you. With every car I've owned, I've always joined the owners club as they are always a wealth of information, as well as parts, meets and of course, friendly people. Look forward to reading about your builds, mods, meets etc. Take care, Lisa

After the 4 month wait my carbon bonnet is finally here and on 👌 next week getting ppf wrapped to keep it protected

I only run them in winter, and only have one pretty rubbish photo, sorry lol. I’m back on my 18s now

I second varelco. I use 15mm eibach bolt on spacers when I run stock wheels. If you run 6mm spacers you will need to replace your wheels studs with longer ones which is quite involved. 15mm spacers on stock wheels look much better. Fitting is easy although torquing the bolts on the front spacers is a bit of a pain. Just remember that 50miles after first fitting the bolt on spacers, you need to take the wheels off and check/retorque the spacer nuts. Then 50miles after that check/retorque the wheel nuts.

There's nothing particularly wrong with good quality hub-centric spacers that either have their own studs, or include longer studs. It's much the same as having a different offset wheel. The issues are mainly when people try to use the original studs and there isn't enough thread for the wheel nuts, and the increased load on the hub bearings is negligiable for the sort of spacer sizes involved here.

I never had an issue with the eibach spacers I put on with my stock wheels, probably 10k + miles.

Thank you, I’ve attached a few that I have, I was lucky that it came with it when I bought the car!
