Wheel spacers

[Dean Mac]

Having my clio lowered 60mm in couple of days and im thinknig the wheels will sit too narrow, what size wheel spacers should i use?

And where to buy them from?

I understand having larger sized spacers requires long sized bolts/threads.

Cheers

when its lowered get the tracking done then measure the gap between the tyre and arch will give you the answer.
ebay is good for spacers but try to get aluminum ones as they are better than steel ones.......

The longer sized bolts is only an issue depending on your spacers 5mm will be fine on standard bolts, anything more and yeah you need longer bolts, unless you get the type B hubcentric spacer, which bolts directly to the hub, then you use your existing wheel bolts to bolt to the spacer, there the best in all honesty as dont cause any wheel wobble or anything. If your after a set of FK (aluminium) 25mm type B spacers drop me a pm with an offer!
But the above advise of measuring the distance between arch etc is the best as you dont want your tyres sticking out past the arches as its illegal ( i think!)

Right cheers !

Is 5mm noticable on either side? Ive seen FK ones they like £20 - is that for a set of four?

 

[Dean Mac]

I wouldn't go for those, they're universal so won't be the safest of spacers. Ideally you want ones specific for a Clio, so with 4 x 100 bolt holes and a Centre bore of 60.1.
Try FK ones either direct from them or from venom motorsport.

 

[Dean Mac]

Righto pal, will start checking some out now!

With the FK ones though there 6mm systems are 6mm for both sides so 3mm each wheel, 50mm system is 25mm each wheel etc.

sound Jones mate. i think i wanna/need to go 10mm either side. push the wheels out abit, cheers for info.

Would these be alight for spacers? 20mm each side
