2modified - FK Wheel Spacers

[Limca]

Right, im gona order spacers from old johnny2modified to fill my current 17" alloys, so they sit in my 172 wings nicely. (btw, my cars a 1.2 dynamique)

Spoke to John (what a nice boy) and he will order me a set once I get the confirmation from you lovely people.

I need to know, what "MM" (size) do I need per wheel?

"HAS" advised me 25mm per wheel...

would you agree with that.. anyone done this???

Cheers Jay

How much are they from there dude?

25mm is loads how much do you want your wheels to stick out?

You'd need longer bolts as well you know?

20mm still waiting for mine to come in!

also i orderd 1's that bolt to the hub so you can use your normal bolts

 

[Englebert]

I thought they all came with their longer bolts..?

I certainly wouldn't have 20mm spacers with std bolts, that wouldn't work surely?!

Can someone give me a price for them? I want some around 10mm.

Englebert: Most 2-10mm spaces including FKs suggest you use longer bolts.

5mm FK Hub Centric ones with bolts are roughly £50.

15, 20, 25mm +

Normally come with a different fixing. They bolt to your hub with longer bolts i assume.

Then you use your normal bolts on the face of the spacer.

The FK 25mm spacers used to come in with bolts at £175 or there abouts.


I beleive there prices have come down rapidly if the price JLO gave me are correct.


For a lower spec model to get the wheel spacing correct looking for the 1*2 wings a spacer of roughly 20/25mm is required to get the desired effect.


Also to note anything above 15mm will probably exert a lot more wear on wheel bearings etc.....

i got quoted £105 of some other company but john came back with the best price

i thought u sold the car and bought a beemer?

 

[Middo]

obviously not. i'd go 40mm per axle (or 20mm per wheel if your feeling pedantic lol)

and in being FK's they'll be hubcentric and come with two sets of bolts.

ah ive just seen the post about whether to sell his clio or not! i must have missed it as i thought he had bought the zimmer

btw mark i hope u have been saving up for pc pads?!!

 

[Middo]

do i have to pay for my own pads?

in that case once you've finished i'll take them back :approve:

 

[makavelli]

im sure we can come to an arrangement! im thinking we tag team and get both cars done one after the other

 

[Englebert]

Thanks for the advice people. Think i'll give John a call.
