Another spacer question

[J88NES]

So i'm looking at some spacers for my 172 before i get it lowered. I was thinking 5mm front and 10mm rear??
Is this what most people go for? Would i need hubcentric for the 10mm rears, and where could i get longer bolts from and finally could i use the standard bolts with the 5mm fronts.
Sorry for the essay lol

Not in my experience.

i would recomend hubcentric type spacers for anything over 6mm. plus longer wheel bolts. longer bolts from priracing.

What is the correct bolt i would need, anyone know? Also what is a good spacer set up on a 172?

anyone?

bolt size depends on what size spacers you are going for. standard bolt length (24mm) + spacer width = wheel bolt length.

the other measurements you require on the bolts are m12 x 1.5 x 60 degree taper. m12 being the thickness (12mm) 1.5 being the gap (1.5mm) between each thread. and the bolt should have a 60 degree taper on it.

botls can be bought for just over a pount each from priracing. (as per post number 4)

6mm front. 12mm rear would be good imo. or there abouts.

Thanks mate, really helpful. Is your 182 a cup?

Also, i've looked on the FK site. But the hubcentric ones only seem to start at 26mm =S
