spacers

[renaultman]

i need 5mm wheel spacer for my fks to set the camber right will any of these do ? which one will fit? or do u think i should pay more and get better ones http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=731_733

go for some alloy ones the steel are heavier.
if only going upto 5mm you'll be ok without going for hubsentric spacers but over 5 and youll need to pay more and get humbsentric ones.
you'll probably just find it a bit trickier to locate the centre bore of the wheels on the hub centre without hubcentric ones.

Now I'm confused... :S lol

when you use spacers,the thicker they are the more of the lip that the wheel sits on,in the centre of the hub it covers up.hubcentric spacers have a lip to allow for this so as to make sure the wheel still sits bang cetre and gets no wheel wobble.

just a warning, I've got spacers on mine aswell, and I've needed to grind away the arches a little bit. I'm running 17's though so you might be ok using smaller spacers

what you got coilovers or springs are they fk?

no problem.

btw...anything over 5mm and you'll need longer bolts and lockers too.

I need 7mm ones

I think valvers run 19mm nuts as standard?

So I assume I'll just need 26mm nuts?? (19+7)

FK Highsports mate, same as you I think

why do you need spacers to set the camber as they're completely unrelated, or have i missed something in your first post.

and white16valver anything around a 25mm will do nicely. i know 25mm is a set size down at my local motor factors, so probably cheaper/easier to source.

well iv got stander 15 and tryin to set the camber but when i try to set it to - camber the wheel hits the strut . i know its stupid you think they would of though of this so i need spacer to push the wheels out to give me more room to set the camber up this gap is bout 5mm so i cant set the camber so it - camber now

 

[mini-valver]

Surely you need to adjust the wheel AWAY from the strut. I,e bottom of the wheels towards each other.......

 

[Middo]

gotya! was going to say that spacers dont allow you to adjust the camber, when in fact you just need a bit of clearance

as stated before you've got two options of standard ones, or hubcentric. so about £20 for 4 vs. about £40. on a 5mm it wont make much difference, but fitting standard spacers is a bit of a b**ch.

well that would be + camber and i need - camber

i hope 5 mm will do any bigger and i think the wheel bearings will get fucked quicker. im a bit pissed of as fk should of though of this and done some think bout it i should not have 2 use spacer they shoud be a direct fit grrrrrrr

how much camber you planning on running? and what wheels have you got fitted

just - camber 1 degress or somethink at the mo it + camber thay are standerd 15s
