Best spacers to get?

[Tom 46]

I've been looking at getting some spacers to make my wheels fit the arches better but i dont know what is the best option.

Ideally i want some 10mm spacers on each wheel. I would also like hubcentric spacers, but i cant really justify spending nearly £200 on some spacers.

Is there much difference between the hubcentric and normal spacers, considering its only a 1.2 and is only really used as a daily drive.

Also, would i need extended wheel bolts for 10mm spacers?

Thanks.

Hubcentric spacers rest on the hub itself making it less chance of a Wheel wobble at higher speed, it its worth getting them tbh for your own safety, also extended wheel bolts are reccomended

£200, were you lookin at fella ? try ebay etc

hubcentrics are worth it mate. Alot better over normal spacers. will take out the risk of allot of issues which can easily be caused.

thanks guys, ill take a look on ebay and see what there is on there.

I wasnt sure if it would make much difference not going on track, but i guess hubcentric are better all round.

thanks again

Get some 15mm 'type 10' ones. They are the same as the £90 FK/H&R ones but cheaper!

Would 20MM ones from a 6N Polo fit?

I've found some that I'd like just to pop the wheels into the arches a bit...

Probably not... aren't they 5 stud?

Polo bore is 57.1mm, you want 60.1mm.

As for going hubcentric it is the only safe and correct way to do it once you get above 8mm.

You shouldnt have to spend more than 20 quid on 10mm hubcentric spacers.

for anything over about 5mm you will need longer bolts, or a stud conversion. You still doing that for £20? I think not

Studs are about a quid each, and i managed to get 12 mm spacers for 15 quid for the pair. So around 20 quid.

If you want to pay more i recommend demon tweeks or halfords.

£15 for hubcentrics? ahahahahaha

What is so funny? OMP hubcentric spacers for the 16v, i think they were from rally nuts.I will gladly scan the receipt, as long as you agree to paypal me 20 pounds if i prove you wrong.
