Spacers - Owt wrong with these?

[Paul172sport]

Looking for some 20mm spacers from the front, come across these however seem very reasonabley priced, cautious of the you pay for what you get, so are these too good to be true?

FK been around and obviously TUV so worth a punt?

http://www.carparts-tuning.co.uk/en...e-System-A-20-mm-Renault-Clio-2-B-tuning.html

also what bolts do i need, yes 20mm longer, but what size M12? if so whats the std length?

cheers in advance

12.5 iirc mate, and not sure on standard length :/

Depends if they are the spigot type I guess, 55% discount is good, tempted by some myself.

Sure the bolts are m12x1.5

Definitely m12 x 1.5

While your here dan, what have you been selling to cup owners for front and back spacers for lowered cars with turinis fitted??

 

[James28]

I might be wrong but I thought System A FK spacers weren't hubcentric.
FK website is miles cheaper than anywhere else for their spacers though. I've got two sets from there.

They're listed as width per axle, so if you want 20mm each side, you need 40mm spacers.

Edit: Mind it does say "with centering" so would appear they are hubcentric. Bargain tbf!

Yeah them linked ones are hub centric, there non hub centric at £20 in 20mm

How low is it?

I run 25mm fronts on the Trophy and have 0 rubbing issues. Possibly you might want to run 20mm but it depends how low you are really.

Rear I would go 10 or 15mm max.

 

[MG cup]

It will be 30mm on sportlines, my wheels are full fat wheels that are et48.5, what is your wheel offset?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I thought you had turinis?

Trophy turinis are ET 45, The lower the ET number the further the wheel sits in your arch. So with ET48.5 your will sit a tiny bit further out than mine.

I would say 20mm would be ideal on the front & 10/15mm on the rear.

 

[MG cup]

I just used turini's as an example to begin with, then I could work it out as 172 full fat wheels on a cup isn't very common and I thought you would have sold more to people with cups and turini's.

whats your price for 20mm, 16mm spacers and bolts to suit? Could you price separately for bolts and spacers?

 

[MG cup]

I just bought 2 sets of those 20mm hub centric type for £68 posted, will let you know there quality when the arrive.

 

[Paul172sport]

Cheers that be appreciated.

Need check about the width. I want 20mm each side. Did you order 20 or 40?

 

[MG cup]

20mm spacers for front and back so 20mm wider on all four corners, 40mm on each axle. That should be fine with my et48.5 wheels wit 195/45/16 tyres on my 172 cup.

 

[Paul172sport]

How did you get on with these?

 

[MG cup]

Not very well, the listed 20mm kit is 10mm per side and they have a spigot so don't even work.

I have doubled them up with some washers for just now to clear my brembos untill I get others, you need the listed 40mm if you are wanting 20mm per side. Iirc 16mm is the smallest spigot spacer you can use on a Clio.

Otherwise they are really good quality for the price.

 

[Chip-mk1]

You can grind the spigot on the hub down so they will sit on better, and its still enough to locate them properly, the clio spigots are particuarly deep.

 

[MG cup]

Yeah thought about it tbh but the chamfer on the inside if the spacer would only have circa 1mm onto the spigot with 2x10mm stacked on top of each other with the lower spigot cut off.

Not I deal if your away to chuck it round a track, I'll do it right and get some 20mm per side.

edit: I read that as grind the spigot down on the spacer. Viable option but would need every set of rear disks doing. Might look into it after I receive the new wheels, unsure of the offset as the seller couldn't tell me so I took a punt.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Agreed, I meant to allow use of one set, I wasnt recomending stacking them on top of each other, that just mutliplies any inaccuracy in their fitment.

I did say that in my first post near the top of this thread :rasp:
I've had a set of 15mm (each side) with longer bolts, and a set of 20mm (each side) bolt to hub FK Spacers and they are perfect.
Much better than Delta Mic's. Just make sure you copper grease the back so they don't get stuck to the hub in a years time.
