fitting 10mm front wheel spacers

[bob the builder]

hi i have a question about fitting 10mm spacers to the front of my 182 race car.
when the spacers are on and you put the wheel on it is clear of the center spigot. is this ok as the wheel bolts will hold it in position or is it a big no no.
any advice would be helpfull.
cheers rob

I'd only fit hubcentric spacers personally, they have a raised centre to locate the spigots, I know they don't take weight but help locate/centre the wheel.

how does this work with the 10mm as the original center sticks through so you wouldnt be able to have a raised center.

10mm hubcentric don't fit as the hub face protrudes out about 13mm.

I have heard if you don't use hubcentric it can shear wheel bolts because all the weight is taken on the wheel bolts not the hub

fit hubcentric ones, but remove about 3mm from the hub.

15mm hubcentrics if I had to run spacers,

not true, most spigot rings are plastic and not load bearing at all, only there for ease of fitting centre

it's 15mm hub centric or none imo!

ok some things to think about, cheers for the replys.
i cant fit 15mm as its 10mm max as per regs.

What regs Bob, Production class? is that 10mm per side or per axle width??

 

[bob the builder]

yes production class, 10mm per side. it is just something i was toying with as adding camber and toe to the rear has widend the rear so i thought i would try to even it up by adding some to the front.

I run 10mm on front hubcentric with longer wheel stud. Then I have camber bolts at -2.45 and -2.5
No issues at all just keep an eye on your studs

I know H&R do hubcentrics from 8mm upwards.
