25mm spacers? What the hell for? If you really want to do this, you'll need much longer wheel bolts and also remember that the stresses on the hub etc will increase. Might not be significant but you'll probably need a suspension geometry check afterwards. I reckon 10mm is as much as you want to go.

FK Hubcentrics are what you need.

why would i need longer wheel bolts if i get hubcentric ones that bolt on ?

also would it really give that much more stress on the hubs ect?

I have to be honest that with a clio, I couldn't say, but I know from experience on other cars, wide spacers can add extra stress onto the hubs and throw the geometry out. If you have bolt on spacers you shouldn't need extra length bolts.

 

[adam172]

your correcet it will put more stress on the hubs ect but not that bad thers hunderds of clios running spacers inc some of the race cars !

I've got FK Hubcentric spacers, which are 20mm each side. They bolt to the hub first, then your wheels bolt to the spacers using the original bolts
I got them from FK direct, even with postage from Germany they were much cheaper. I've had no problems

 

[adam172]

Hmmm interesting how much? u got a link ? Even though I'm thinking to defo go for eibachs!!

 

[sideways danny]

what you really want is hubcentric spacers, and a long stud conversion. Do away with wheel bolts entirely

 

[adam172]

Where from danny ?

 

[wozzaa]

Have a set of KEI spacers to go on my C4.

They are the bolt to the hub type, they also convert it to nuts rather than bolts.

 

[adam172]

We're abouts did you get them from wozzaa ?? Thanks

FK Automotive 50mm System B spacers £69.38

 

[rpsxr]

performance or more for looks??

pics??

Any dealer who has Kei stuff should be able to sell them. Quite cheap as well compared to most spacers. Come in 15mm and 25mm fittings I believe. Can normally get a set of 4 for similar price to a pair of H&R's. I actually got mine 2nd hand from someone who got rid of his car and returned it back to standard.

 

[adam172]

what are the bolts like on the fk's?? had any probs?

 

[James28]

Nope no problems whatsoever. They're the system B ones, so came supplied with bolts to bolt to hub. Have been excellent, high quality.
Also got a pair of FK system a hubcentrics, got the extended bolts from europerformance. been excellent as well.

 

[adam172]

not got any you want to sell have you?
