Spacers, where do I get the extended Nuts?

[James28]

I'm thinking of buying the FK Wheel Spacers (30mm (A Centric)) off VenomMotorsport

If you are purchasing System A wheel spacers these do not come with longer bolts so any spacer over 5mm you will require longer wheel bolts. When purchasing longer wheel bolts simply measure the length of the standard factory wheel bolt then add the width of the spacer you are fitting, this will give you the required bolt length.

Am I being stupid, but where do I get the extended bolts from!?


Edit: Title should be: Where do I get extended bolts? !

 

[jesus]

Just get the system B ones or whatever they are. The money you spend on sourcing longer bolts, you could have some that bolt to the hub and they won't wobble your wheel off.

 

[James28]

Yea that's what Im trying to weigh up, so was just wondering if anyone knew where to get them.

 

[jesus]

You can get them from very few alloy wheel shops, took me about 5 times of ringing round places to finally source a set and when I did, fitted them and the wheels wobbled like mad. I got the ones that bolt to the hub and they were spot on afterwards.

 

[James28]

Oh really :S
Call me Mr Skint but they're double the price! I only want the smallest hubcentric ones (26mm).

 

[jesus]

They're huge! I had some 25mm ones made by 'Delta Mics' but they bolted to the hub and were fine. I paid £45 new! I can't find the site now but try a Google search and see if anywhere sells them.

I've got a convention with a online seller here in italy, they've got a lot of bolts from 40 to 50 mm..they are even anti-tefth.

I got my 20mm longer ones from my local branch of Pro tyre. £2 each iirc.

Just took a standard bolt, asked for the same but 20mm longer. Ordered them overnight and I collected them the next day!

 

[mat-nos]

You can get them on ebay too, should be m12x1.5mm threads and add the spacer width to the length of the threaded bit of the standard bolt, done.
but as said system b are better but only start at 15mm per corner (30mm per axel) you planning on getting 26mm per axel (13mm per corner)??

try to get aluminuim ones as they are so much lighter and help response and keep unsprung weight to a minimum.....

 

[James28]

Yea sorry, I mean the 26mm per axle, as in 13mm each side. I'm looking at the Hubcentric (System A Centric) FK ones.

So I'd need bolts that are Standard Length + 13mm extra I think. Cheers I'll have a look at Pro Tyre.

 

[JCC]

Euro performance do the extended bolts.

 

[James28]

Ah Yea cheers. Not as expensive as I thought. I think Im gna go with the 30mm track widening FK (A centric) ones and get longer bolts.
Cheers for everyone's help.

 

[James28]

I'm trying to get the extended bolts.
Does anyone know the size of the standard bolts?

I think they're either 20mm or 22mm?

 

[James28]

Anyone knoww? PLease

Go and measure one? It will take 2 seconds to remove it?! Do u want us to come and wipe your bum to?

 

[James28]

Nah I can manage that I think lol.

I did measure it, I think its 20mm but just wanted to check first, coz knowing me I'd ordered the new ones then realised I measured the wrong bit lol.

 

[mat-nos]

2mm wont make any difference, only one turn less on the bolt.
so buy new bolts with a 35mm long thread thats m12x1.5.......done.

 

[James28]

Yea I'm going to get 35mm bolts from Euro Performance

And the 30mm (2 x 15mm) System A centric from Venom Motorsport.

We don't get CS discount on either of these do we?
Just checking before I go ahead and buy!

 

[James28]

Actually FK Direct is cheaper when you add the postage on Venom.
Sorry. Talking to myself again lol

 

[mat-nos]

good luck with trying to speak german if your spacers go missing, i would get them from a company over here personally........
