Yes.. another spacers request - however!

[Daz.]

After god knows how many times trailing though pictures of clios on spacers they all seem to be of reps filling out the arches to stop rubbing...

what I want to know is does anyone actually have any pictures of a 172 (!) with various sized spacers?

I'd like cup width really with the standard 172 wheels or maybe a tad more if I had to pick a particular one - I want it to be beyond safe!

 

[Daz.]

Hmm is 5mm each side enough bring the wheels out similar to a cup?

 

[markblack172]

if i'm right a cup is 20mm wider at the front and 10mm at the rear
may be the other way round tho

 

[Daz.]

Oh right so I may need 10mm each side at the front.

Can anyone clarify?

 

[mark123]

The 172 cup wheels are et38.5 and the std 172 wheels are et47 or something like that. So that would equate to about 10mm each side. Why the rear wouldn't be the same I don't know...

 

[Goders172]

I need to know this too please people!

 

[Daz.]

Righto so the new picture request is 10mm spacers please

 

[Tigger]

I'd like to see this too!

 

[Daz.]

Well it seems no-one at all has ever done this fella!

 

[Daz.]

Righto looks like I won't be doing this then!

 

[Nick_P]

10mm is ideal for the front, Unfortunatly i cant find hubcentric 10's anywhere.

 

[Daz.]

What is the first hubcentrics 12mm 15mm?

 

[Nick_P]

Ive seen 13's on the FK site

 

[Daz.]

I guess that could do!

 

[Sam]

Why not change to studs, and you can have any size spacer you need. Still hubcentric!

 

[DannyR]

Get some 25mm's! Also about 1.5 deg of camber

First pic for the thread too lol!

 

[Nick_P]

How'd you manage that? I measured, and if i put 25mm on it would be right out of the arch.

 

[Daz.]

My goodness - a picture - I thought I'd never see the day

 

[Tigger]

djroberts - have you got studs, what spacers are you running?

 

[Daz.]

What does it drive like setup like that?

 

[DannyR]

The spacers are the Delta Mics ones form LK. They come with bolts to bolt to the hub then my original bolts bolt to the spacers.

If they didn't have the camber they would sit just outside the arch I think.

Cannot comment on what they feel like as need to get my camber on the other side set after the mishap I had with a wheel. But at the minute is feels weird, it feels like its dragging the back round around corners and feels liek it will lose grip, could be the camber not setup properly, or something bent from the mishap!

 

[Tigger]

These any good folks?

[Plummer]

I've heard bad about them.

 

[Tigger]

Hmmm - how bad? lol

 

[Pete80]

I've got 13mm hub centric spacers on the front of mine.

Some before & after pics...........

 

[Nick_P]

Just what i was looking for pete! Do they hit the inside of the arch? as its pretty close isnt it?

 

[Tigger]

Just what I'd like too - which spacers are they mate & have you got studs?

 

[Nick_P]

Breakthrough here chaps. This has good sized hubcentrics....

Now i just dont know if i should do 13mm or 10mm

 

[Pete80]

There's a nobble on the arch liner that sticks out & it was just rubbing on that slightly on full lock until i filled it down

Think there eibachs (got them second hand), I've not got studs just longer bolts.

Its sat on koni ajustsble shocks/eibachs sportlines & running about 1.5deg negative camber

That's the "System A" ones Nick

 

[Nick_P]

That's the "System A" ones Nick

It details if they are hubcentric or not, just make sure you get the hubcentric ones

 

[Tigger]

I know - sure I just sold the full set of 20mm FK "Syestem B" ones on here during the week lol

 

[Nick_P]

Im confused

 

[Tigger]

Sold the 20mm as they were a tad too big for what I wanted
Looking something more subtle but still fill the arch a bit more as my alloys are lost in there!

Yeah, but the ones i linked to are 20mm per axle, meaning 10 a side surely?

 

[Tigger]

Yeah - mine were 40mm per axle lol

I don't know if 10mm (per wheel) will be enough on the 172?

 

[Nick_P]

Ah right, Well i measured and 10mm gives a 5mm gap until arch conflict. So 13 will be perfecto aslong as it doesnt rub and stuff on turning

 

[Tigger]

10mm to be on the safe-side then & a bit of room for play or if you decide to lower the car

 

[Daz.]

Still not happy with the choices I have to choose from!

I want 10mm per side personally but I want it done in the very very safest way possible, Would a stud conversion make any difference?

 

[Tigger]

I'm thinking that too Daz
