Buying spacers 5mm.

[Adamm.]

So I have no idea what I can do here as I want to do it the safest way and I know there a lot of dodgy designs out there.

Can someone tell me what 5mm spacers I can use. I'm guessing some longer bolts will be needed, shouldn't be a problem as I want the polarised bolts anyway.

You can get away with standard bolts on <5mm . Best bet is Clio specific ones, with an exact 60.1 centre bore and 4x100 bolt pattern.

Ahh thats good to know then, will the wheels still have a lip to sit on?

What happens as far as them being hub centric goes just looked at some and it said they was not hub centric.

Could anyone link me to some that they are running so I know I'm buying the right thing .

I have 5mm FK Spacers on the rear of my cup.. You cannot run 5mm on the front without longer bolts as my wheel fell off my 182 with this exact setup.. So go careful..

Bought the spacers from eBay

5mm spacers can't be hubcentric. The wheel rests on the remaining hub flange. Get some proper H&R ones and 5mm longer bolts.

So just to confirm 5mm spacers will leave enough lip on the hub for the wheel to sit on?

And with longer bolts that will be fine? I was looking at getting the polarised bolts anyway so will just order them 5mm longer than the original bolts.

 

[mr.pink87]

Plenty of lip, yes. I am running 5mm spacers on the front of my non-sport and that's been fine for ages.

Legend cheers mate.

Your wheel fell off? I've had 5mm on my 182 for 5 months up to now, how did your wheel come off?
