Wheel spacers...

[mini-valver]

Need some 11mm spacers for the Brembos to fit under my wheels. FK do 15's but are quite expensive or I've found these in 19mm on Merlin. Worth a punt and have 8mm taken off or get the proper 15mm ones and have 4mm taken off? Also, anyone know what the crack is with those wheel bolts?

Just an assumption about the bolts but it looks like you might have to put them through the back of the hub or something :S

 

[mini-valver]

I thought that but I dunno, usually just a dowel type stud that screws to the hub, then the wheel bolts onto that.

i bought some 'delta mics' hubcentric ones after hearing good reviews for £40 posted i think, but they were 30mm

might be worth a google

 

[mini-valver]

30mm?? f**k me, lol!

I'll be on track a fair bit so they need to be solid and safe with ZERO wheel wobble....

If your gonna do it and spend the cash get the FK 20/25mm kits Bolt to the hub then wheel to the spacers got them on mine and there mint ! none of the *****in about with longer bolts

I had problems with Russ and so wouldn't use him again. I've just ordered some Delta Mics (COHBC, I'll chop you up if my wheel comes off) in 15mm, when they come, I need a machine shope to take 3-4mm off, know any good un's Kev?

Wouldnt worry about getting them machined down 3-4mm just leave them as they are!

Thats the best idea!!

 

[mini-valver]

They'll catch my wing though with 20's, already checked, lol.

Iimushroomzii, I want to run as little as possible because I'm not a massive fan of spacers at the best of times, especially when I'll be ragging it on track.....

 

[SBV116]

your going to have vibration white finger....... wheel wobble fail.:rasp:

 

[iimushroomzii]

Surely 6mm though wont make a difference?

 

[mini-valver]

4mm probably wont either

They are prone for wheel wobble the bigger you get and so by keeping it to a minimum, I'm reducing the chance!

Are you usin pug brembos like I have?

 

[BioHzrd]

Got no wobble at all with mine mate..

aye same as me, did you need to space the caliper so it sits in the middle of the Disc

 

[mini-valver]

LOL! The wheel will rip it off though

Yeah, worked it out as 3 1/2mm. 2 m12 washers from B and Q are 4mm so just using them.
