Very quick 16mm spacer concerns.....

[robbie1988]

I have just bought some hubcentric bolt through spacers - got 16mm for front and rear.

I am just about to order new Taperpro bolts for these (45mm threads) however I am a little cautious as they aren't bolt to hub versions.

Anyone had any issues with this type or issues with bolts loosening off repeatedly?

Any advice/experience is welcomed

Cheers

I run 16mm spacers on the back of the race car (non bolt to hub type) they are fine.

But there again mine is on studs.

I use the car as my everyday car/fast road car and do plan doing a trackday or 2 next year.

May look into the K-tec or Pure Motorsport stud conversion and use these spacers with them

They also do them at Deeman Tweeks.

I run them on the back of my race car with bolts and haven't had any problems.

Not sure what make mine were.

As long as they are hubcentric ones, it doesn't really matter.

Cheers for the info - will fit them later in the week after my nightshifts and see what I think

These are the spacers and bolts I have bought:

Just spoke to Pure Motorsport and think I will be going for their stud conversion, will use the extended bolts for the short term

Makes changing wheels much easier.

I ran these on my old non sport and have swapped then over to the 182.

Never had any problems and I use the car almost everyday.

Never thought about bout upgrading to a stud conversion. Is there any point on a road car?

 

[robbie1988]

Makes wheel changes easier as mentioned above. Plus saves wearing the threads on the rear discs which I found can happen if wheels changed around a lot on the car.

I am going to try them on and see what they sit like. Should make the Williams wheels fill the arches nicely but not sure how it will sit with the Turini's in the summer

Ah right okay.

I currently have Turini's on the Inferno. The 16mm spacers sit well on the front but I can't get away with them on the rear as it's too low and would scrub like mad!

 

[robbie1988]

That is good to know - mine is just on Eibach sportlines at present but plans are for coilovers after the winter.

Got to say your Inferno looks lovely - I have had my Turini's sitting here for abit but getting them refurbed in Ford Sea Grey - they wont go on until spring though,

Any idea which ones you're going for? And thanks mate, do you have a project thread for yours?

They should look good that colour!

I'm swapping my Turini's for some Renault Storms during the winter so they don't get wrecked

 

[robbie1988]

Build thread is in the projects section:

Going for BC Racing coilovers all being well once get some more information through

Winter wheels are ideal, I got the Williams wheels as always loved the design

I run the same spacers on the front of mine to clear the brembos. And i have had no problems what so ever!!

Don't worry.
