5mm spacers on the rear

[The Boosh!]

Do I require longer wheel bolts too or can I use stock?

Thanks

5mm should be fine, longer wheels nuts if you are worried.

I've heard that as a general rule, four/five full rotations and you're sweet.

 

[The Boosh!]

So shall i crack on?

 

[dmallett]

I didn't bother, was fine for me

 

[Budgie]

Put one on, count the number of rotations the bolt goes round before it's tight. I'd be happy with five full turns.

 

[Rob]

I was about to say that ^

Not even you can get that wrong, right?

Did you see what happened when he fitted rear brakes, FFS?

Just don't fit them upside down Luke.

5mm is fine without longer bolts. Anything >5mm and you do need longer bolts

I'll carry on in this thread. I am getting the fk 20mm hubcentrics for the front, The standard length bolts should be fine for this i take it to bolt onto the spacer? I won't need to cut the bolts down?

i bought slightly longer wheel bolts.

I think i still have them if you want them Luke?

 

[The Boosh!]

Well i've got the stock bolts on there atm and they seem to be fine but i suppose it's better to be safe than sorry. How much you want for em dude!?

 

[172Ben]

if i have them just a few quid would be fine to cover postage, ill check ive got them all tomorrow mate and let ya know

Mine are fine with 5mm, anything over and it would warrent longer bolts.

I thought 5 max would be ok with normal size bolts.

What about the other question I had about 20mm hubcentrics, think standard bolts will be too long for the hubcentrics going into the spacer?

Im using 6mm spacers on rear and they were absolutely fine using standard bolts, i have now switched to studs and nuts so deff no issues now
