You really need hubcentric spacers to be on the safe side. These are just universal.

 

[kie1an]

i know universal ones cause wheel wobble but how unsafe are these ? and how bad is wheel wobble as described in the advert ?

 

[kie1an]

are maybe these . ... although 15 mm is a bit overkill for what i need them for .

i wouldn jump on the band wagon yet mate. i really dont think you need them. get them coilovers off and back on propily. then see whats what.

 

[kie1an]

if it doesnt rain tomorrow

 

[clvs2222]

might be worth you puting your orginal wheels back on to get it set up propily first then you'll know if your wheels are to blame then

Pic of your car at the min ?

 

[kie1an]

i dont have the original wheels the wheels offset should all be fine as when i got them i got them car specific with the correct spigot rings and everything . thing is the guy i got the suspension off had to use spacers on his front to stop rubbing with the suspension components ! so .. :S

get some 5mm universals,all ive got on mine and no wheel wobble as the hub sticks out enough for you to be able to stop any wheel wobble

 

[Middo]

alot of people have to use 5mm spacers on the front to stop it rubbing on the hub. when i had fk's on my 1.2 it was mega tight but i just got away with it not needing any spacers.

 

[kie1an]

^^^ looking this way with mine tbh . only problem is , you space the wheels out and they then get closer to the arch ! and there aint much room there either ha ha

 

[MT AUDIO]

5mm will be fine,have about 8mm gap between the spring but still plenty of space from the wheel arch

 

[kie1an]

even though it will be lowered 100 mm ? looks quite tight to me . when you say about 5mm spacers you aint talking this sort of thing are you http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...1_productId_194313_langId_-1_categoryId_72053

 

[MT AUDIO]

exactly that kinda thing and this is mine height wise so you be the judge

 

[Middo]

^ they'd be fine as long as they are fitted centrally

 

[kie1an]

thing is halfords dont do the extended bolts though do they ! ..

 

[kie1an]

what size bolts do you need if your running 5mm spacers ?

 

[MT AUDIO]

for 5mm you wont need extended wheel bolts

 

[kie1an]

really :O i would have thought u do .. thanks .

 

[MT AUDIO]

nah 5mm is fine,foxy ran 7mm with no extended wheel nuts which is borderline but 10mm is a must

 

[kie1an]

so if i get down halfords tomorrow and can pick these spacers up if needed , then just got to line them up central and stick the old bolts back in . how about the centre bore ? would you of thought it would be to big or too small ? .

 

[MT AUDIO]

the spacers arent the correct bore,just make sure you put them on centrally then put the wheel on whilst holding it in place,then tighten the wheel bolts ensuring its a dead centre fit,the wheel wont have any wobble as itll still be central as its on the hub still

 

[kie1an]

sounds like a job lol how do you keep the spacer centre whilst sticking the wheel on .

 

[MT AUDIO]

did it today myself,just hang the spacer on the hub,put the wheel on the hub and put one bolt in through the wheel and spacer and then thatll hold the wheel,then put another bolt in ensuring spacer is straight

 

[kie1an]

duh , yeh sounds easy enough . thankyou for all your advise , i feel quite clued up on it now . its quite urgent i get my car running etc tomorrow as im going away to england with the mrs on the weekend and tomorrows my last day off so its a day of fixing the car . and you know what the forecast is lol ......RAIN

 

[r8byb]

they shouldnt cause wheel wobble as long as the centre bore of the wheel still sit's over, i had 5mm spacers on my ibiza cupra from Halfords, didnt give me any wheel wobble.

 

[kie1an]

okay thanks ^^^ will let you know how i get on later tonight .
