Picked the 10mm FK ones up from Middo earlier and he's dropping some longer bolts round later so I can fit them tommorrow and see if I need to get 12 or 15's and mill some off!

if you're going with big-ish spacers I'd look at a stud conversion

I dropped it at Angelworks just before christmas Dean, not much anyone can do until after the christmas holiday so I'll know more on the 5th I guess!!
Danny, good idea man. If I were to do that though, would the studs not have to be longer than normal??

yeah they would, shouldn't cause an issue though, and if you run open ended nuts you can change spacers really easily

You got a link to anywhere that sells them so I can have a look? TBH, I'm pretty sure the 10mm spacers will give it enough clearance but definately look into the studs because of track work and the pikeyness of longer bolts.

I'll search and ask, never bought them but fitted some. My mate has them on his 205, and i'm getting them on the strength of that.
FMP_ had some on the TA car too, he'd know where to get clio fitment

The spacers?? Cheap on the bay, had a look the other day!
What should I run short side? 15mm? Then measure the wheel depth + spacer size and 15mm, open ended nut. hat be ok??

sounds about spot on.

Cheers dude, massive help!

just watch the back of the stud doesn't touch anything if it sticks through the hub

Thats a point, when you tighten it in, is the blank slightly bigger than the thread as a stop?

Rally Designs for wheel studs mate.
Go to http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=731&osCsid=ea6f0n5f5iltle3dunalpvbmm5
Choose the desired length and then the nuts. Standard bolts are M12 x 1.5mm with a 23 or 28mm thread length.
Do a search for wheel studs on here, theres a few threads ive posted in about them

Cheers Joe, I'll order 8 when I've measured my wheel and see what happens when I fit them, lol.

No probs.
I'm after some myself. Just remember you need to have enough length to clear through the nut to be on the safe side.
Assemble the studs into the hub with loctite.
Go for longer than you 'think' you'll need as you can always trim to suit.

Yeah thats what I was going to do. Only thing that looks sketchy is the stud to hub looks like theres no stop, so you could keep going throught the hub. If that makes sense?

If you look at the pic on rally design, theres a plain shank inbetween the bits of thread on the stud, so once this 'hits' the hub when it is screwed in it wont go any further.
Will be fine, I think they have 10/12mm of thread on the small side which goes into the hub, so wont hit anything behind either I don't think.

Thats what I was getting at, it's called a blank on there, if it's slightly bigger than the thread, mint. Will order some tommorrow when I know what spacer size I need. Cheers man!

Fitted them today with the 10mm spacers and longer bolts, used 4mm washers behind the caliper and it leaves it bang over the centre of the disc.
They fit but FCUK me its close, lol. Think I'm going to run with some 12mm's to give about 2 1/2mm clearnce from the wheel to caliper. Yes, the wheel needs a clean but TBH, thats way down on the list of things to do.
If I made some brackets to space them away form the hub 10mm and used a 300mm disc, I'd probably get away with using 7mm spacers but thats a) Too much hassle, b) More cost and c) Pretty pointless.
So, took it all back off (AGAIN) and gave them a soaking in E+M cleaner, then attacked them with a tooth brush and some 240 grit paper. Took the bleed nipples out and covered the holes with masking tape, covered the pistons and gave them a coat of hi build primer. Both in the shed now drying. I'll get some pics when they are done because they look dog s**t ATM
