Hubcentric spacers

[lasbazrre]

I'm thinking of getting 10mil spacers alround for my car , i know enough to go down the hubcentric route , but do i need to buy a expensive make?

The H&R spacers are £200 for 4 inc bolts, or can i use a CHEAPER brand of hubcentric spacer?

Is it worth paying the extra just coz there H&R? or are they all the same?

Thanks

i got mine from gas. cost £112 for 4 fk 10mm hubcentric spacers and bolts plus delivery (cheers russ )

obviously as you have a different car it may be a it more expensive, but as i see it (and as i think russ told me) fk and h&r are exactly the same

i would talk to russ@gasperformance as i got a quote for 4 10mm hubcentric ones with extended bolts etc for £112 iirc

Being a nob here but whats hubcentric mean? I know you can get spacers that bolt to the hub, then you bolt the wheel to the spacer....... is that them? If not what are they called

 

[Owen]

My understanding was that they had the correct centre bore so that the spacers fitted (stuck onto) the hub and didnt just rely on the horizontal force of the bolts to hold them on.

PAY THE EXTRA!ONES OFF EBAY ARE CRAP AND DO NOT FIT ON CORRECTLY!

I was thinking H&R Hubcentric or FK Hubcentric the difference is around £100? basicly are you paying for the name or are they WORTH double the price?

Sold , it's not worth me skimping on £100 , when the cost of a new wheel , brake disc, brake caliper , ect will be ten fold if it fu*ks up!

Hi im a newby too I like the idea of spacers and obviously no that it will give me a wider track on the car, but will that improve the handling at all, also will I have to do any body mods on a standard suspension and wheel setup on a 172 sport?

Any advice, would be appreciated!

cheers,

Matt
