Cheers Craig, yeah im really hoping so, should of gone for that size originally but stuck with what was originally on the F1's. Hoping to get some new rainsports next month :approve:
Thanks mate, Do you mean the studs ? Yeah they do a bit but only by 1cm and they still sit flush with the face of the spokes on the F1's. Pleased they look better than my shabby original bolts ;) just need to get the fronts sorted now.
*** Update ***
After a failed attempt to fit the rear spacers last week due to my existing wheel bolts being too long I decided to give it another go this weekend. After some much needed advice from a few members I decided to go for the Pure motorsport stud conversion rather than buying smaller...
Hiyer mate,
I have just bought a set of 15mm FK Hubcentric spacers for the rear of my cup, hopefully have some pics at the weekend. Not sure whether to go for 15mm for the front or go for 10mm instead.
Jay
Thanks so much thats really set my mind at rest. Hadnt looked at it that way but now you have said it does make sense. I will look to get some ordered, cheers mate
Thanks mate, I was going to bolt the spacer to the hub first of all with the FK Bolts that came with them and then add the stud to the spacer afterwards securing the wheel to the spacer like you said above. Do you think the pure motorsport kit would be sufficent for that ? or alternatively would...
Basically im having a bit of a nightmare at the moment, tried fitting rear 15mm FK hubcentric spacers over the weekend (Ones which bolt to the hub, then the wheel bolts to the spacer) Found that my standard wheel bolts were too long and fouled the hub meaning i was unable to fit the wheels. I...
Yeah thanks mate, measured it this morning and to the end of the wheel bolt hole was 6.5cm and to sit straight with the face of my f1's was 7.5cm so sould be right in the middle if all goes to plan. :approve:
Just done what you said Tony and the size was exactly 7.5cm to the outside of the wheel so think the pure motorsport kit should be okay with that being 75mm.
Thank you for the help :approve:
Jay
Ah right thank you Tony, sorry im not the best mechanically minded :S
Would you know if the 75mm Pure motorsport Stud conversion would work with my spacers and not be too long like my wheel bolts ?
Thanks
Yeah mine arnt as direct as that unfortunatly as my spacers need bolting to the hub first, then have other holes to bolt the wheel to the spacer. However do you think i would be on the right lines if i was to rotate the spacer so the holes for the wheel bolts matched that to the hub and then...
Yeah thats great thanks, I already had the spacers (15mm Hubcentric FK's) tried fitting them this morning and bolted the spacer to the hub, then the wheel to the spacer but my standard bolts are slightly to long so unable to get the wheel back on. Not sure how studs would work with mine as would...
Ah rite, well to be honest i think upgrading to Studs may be a better idea all round. Just looking at the Pure motorsport kit now and that looks to be 75mm but again wouldnt be able to cut it down. I currently only have 15mm on rear and none on front but may get some in future. If yours are 70mm...
Any chance you know what size yours are after cutting mate ? Had been looking on Demon tweeks as above but dont know which size to go for. Had also considered a Stud conversion from Rare rims possibly but think that may be even more work and couldnt find the right size on the ebay page anyway...
Unfortunatley i dont really have the tools to be cutting the originals, think i will need to buy a new set. They look only slightly too long but its enough to stop the wheel going back on :(
You got any further plans for it ?
Done a fair bit to mine, hoping to make some bigger changes soon though ;)
There's my progress http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?541922-My-Inferno-Project&p=8422821#post8422821

** Small Update **
Got out this morning and removed the window tints from the rear. The two side windows came off easily, the rear one left a lot of glue on the window but following the guide on here a little SRP did the job. Quite surprised as to how much lighter it seems inside the car and...
