Have I got the wrong spacers?

[JJT]

Bought some FK spacers off a lad on here. They are 10mm and hubcentric. The say 'fk 133' on the side which is supposedly the correct clio fitment.

When i went to fit them they wouldnt sit flush to the hub because the ring of the hub extrudes to far. The picture below shows what i mean.

Any ideas?

cheers

have you got a spigot ring on the hub still?

nope, was replacing the discs so everything came off.

Just did a search and seems that it was a design fault by FK or something. f**king great! love wasting money....

I like wasting money too, so I have some of these sat in the shed.

Edit, although yours do seem to fit better...

Spoke to the guy i bought them off and he said he used them like that, Bit wary to be honest, spacers are pretty sketchy anyway let alone ones that arent even touching the hub! mite see if i can get someone with a lathe to bore them! ha, effort!

Heard of this happening before, someone I had a bit of material taken off the inside of the center hole, effectivley (sp) making it deeper (which is stopping it going on all the way) by a local machine shop...was a perfect fit then!

2 minute job on a proper machine tbh

Get ones that bolt to the hub if you're worried matey.

fk 10mm hubcentrics DO NOT fit clios without moddification

Wish i knew it before i bought them, oh well, ill try and get them 'modded' to fit. Cheers for the help lads as always.
