2118's, wheel spacers & longer bolts

[VIICarCare]

Hey peeps, I''ve decided to stick with the 2118's but have them re furbed. She's crying out for spacers, I think 25 at the front & 15 on the rears. However, will the bolts supplied with the spacers be long enough?

The bolts supplied aren't locking ones which I'm not keen on. I quite fancy polorised bolts but no idea what size needed etc.

Any help would be superb. Thanks!

Anyone?

You need to buy bolt to hub spacers Dawn, that way you can still use your standard wheel bolts.

polorised bolts rust, not something id want on my car tbh.

Ive got 20mm front and 10mm rear.

I went for the H&R front spacers, expensive but bloody good quality.

Locking wheel nuts are a total waste of time as they invariably break or you lose the key.. And from halfords you can buy a tool to remove them anyway, so what's to stop someone taking the wheels ?!

Cheers boys, so if I bought the above I could use standard length bolts with the 2118 alloys?

If you're going 15 on the rears you'll probably need to get longer bolts. I've ordered mine from demon tweaks but I'm not sure what size. 40mm thread I think. 23mm is standard + 15mm for the spacer makes 38mm but they don't do that size

They look decent. Where did you pick them up from out of interest, Larkspeed?

 

[VIICarCare]

this always riddles me! I'll get pics later, the wheels sit in so far, lol.

Maybe 20 front & 10 on the rears.

Link to what I need please boys!?

Yes Larkspeed, but when they arrived they had been sent direct from Euro car parts.

Sure from memory i had to buy new shorter wheel bolts with those H&R's. That was with 20mm spacers tho

Dawn i had to take a few mm off of my bolts as they hit the hub.

Yes they are 20mm

 

[Andyman]

et38 2118's and 20mm spacers sit perfectly (ph1)

If you have et43 versions then go for the 25's

 

[VIICarCare]

mine are 43's

will I need to cut the bolts down, not keen on that tbh.

 

[Mr R.]

If you go 25mm you wont.

I had to trim the ends of my bolts down dawn, like 2mm thats all.

I did it on the lathe at work.
For the rear I have the spacer that fits between the beam and hub so standard bolts are fine.

 

[welshname]

Yeah if you have 25mm fronts you use the standard bolts. I've just fitted mine about 5 mins ago and they are fine. The longer bolts I ordered for the 15mm rears are incorrect thread size though even though I checked on here first

 

[VIICarCare]

Cheers guys, would these be sufficient? I know they aren't bolt to hub but I wanted new bolts anyway.

Trying to keep costs low as my priority is to get the service etc done first.

 

[Jack-C]

No these ones are popular on here and are much cheaper

You can buy the bolts from jjc or demon tweeks for about £1.70 each. You can buy a complete kit from jjc but it works out cheaper to buy separate.

 

[VIICarCare]

Nice one Jack! I take it they do 20mm too? I'll take a look later, off to do his breakfast

 

[Jack-C]

No problem

Unfortunately they only do 16mm. Quite a few people on here use these spacers and I've heard good things.

You said you was after 15mm for the back so these should be good for the rear.

 

[Jack-C]

Just found them in the demon tweeks outlet store. Only £1 cheaper but hey a pounds a pound lol. At least it's another option and you have two places to order from just incase one or the other happens to be out of stock or something. Just a heads up really.
