15mm Hubcentric spacers & wheel bolt size

[Meek_racing]

I'm going to buy some FK 15mm Hubcentric spacers for the rear. Does anyone know if I need shorter wheel bolts to run these? If so, are thye safe for track use being shorter?

Cheers,

Mike

Shorter wheel bolts for running spacers?

Do you mean longer?

Sorry, I should have mentioned they are bolt on hub type. Is this the better option or just go for the cheaper ones and use the longer bolts as you said? I think standard bolts are 26mm long?

Mike, if you want to save some cash I've decided to stop running my spacers so will be selling them later.

They're MAD bolt to hub 15mm hub centric but you still need shorter bolts to fix your wheels. I'm looking for £45 less postage and I'll throw in the bolts to hold them to the hub.

What size bolts would be needed for these? As above, does it make any difference running shorter bolts if only used for track use?

I ran these in conjunction with my pure motorsport stud conversion but I believe 6mm shorter standard bolts will do the job.

Shorter bolts shouldn't make a difference as standard bolts go thru the hub face slightly.

If I can find a set of shorter bolts will more than likely have these Mick, otherwise I'll opt for the longer bolt version Stud conversion kit is a bit too much atm.
