Trax didn't have folk's doing handbrake turn's... E38 sounds right chavvy :rasp:
Nah, some smart car's. I'm not a huge VW fan tbf but some of them look pretty nice. Saw load's of Beetle's and Camper's on the m1 yesterday. Look cool but like feck would i want to own something like that lol.
If you're looking at a VTS/GTI then yes, back axle's are common. I always say if someone plans on buying one then they should have £200 set aside to replace it... IM Axle's are the guy's to talk to about them: http://www.imaxle.co.uk/catalog/fully-refurbished-rear-beam-saxo
Other than that...
If it came to buying 2 kit's then maybe if someone else on here is doing the same with spacer's we could split the cost ;) haha. If the key's will fit, hmmm....
Yea the kit came with longer bolts. ATM I'm not running locking nuts but I know I'll be able to get them from my local after market wheel dealer so I'll get some off them soon enough :)
Mainly because the rear wheels are further out than the front from standard.
If you're as low as me then the backs WILL rub a LOT with 40mm. Mine are close now.
No, i've been really focusing on it tbh as i was wondering how it would affect the car. It doesn't seem any harsher.
I also wondered if it would make the steering a bit more twitchy over bump's being as the hub normally sit's in the centre of the wheel but obviously with spacer's it doesn't...
Haha, i can't say it's affected it in a bad way tbh... Other than a little bit of scrubbage when cornering hard.
I tried asking load's of folk's on here if anyone had done it and about effect's it might have but no one ever came back with an answer so just bit the bullet.
But thanks also :)
Yea, if i got Turini's or something else then i'd put some on - can't see many folk's wanting mine though. Plus they're ready for a refurb so makes them less desirable again lol.
That's exactly what my thoughts were Tigger. Hubcentric is when they have that centre piece for the wheel to sit on. The bolts are 20mm longer than originals on the front and 15mm longer on the back. So they're perfect :)
For example they're similar to this:
Also, regard's the other type, where they're longer bolts but completely flat spacers, i know folk's always call them but i ran them for 4 years on my Saxo and never once had a problem. I didn't go for that type this time as obviously these are safer, but...
Gouldy to the rescue again ;)
Lol, yes, they require longer bolt's BUT the wheel sit's on a centre piece like the one's you've posted - so not all the weight is on the bolt's.
