Need 10mm Bolt On Spacers

[ABuSD]

Hey guys, finally got off my ass and test fitted my new rims and it seems i need a 10mm bolt on spacer on the front to clear the brakes.

Cant use slip on spacers as ive tried then the studs are too short poking out of the rims to tighten them up.

Another problem is that the smallest BOLT ON spacer ive seen is 25mm and thats way too much for my application (even 10mm is but what can i do)

Any help on where i can find 10mm spacers or get them fabricated?

Or any other ideas on what to do? Do i have to lengthen my studs?

Cheers

I've got a a set (4) of 15mm bolt on spacers if your interested. I'll be on the cruise.

[ABuSD]

How much u want for them?

No licence no cruise!!

(I can pick them up after May 26h though )

[SABBAi]

$60 each good for you?

Aluminium. 2 have longer studs, so you can add more spacer plates.

[ABuSD]

Sounds good i only need 2(for the front) but gimme a bit cos im desperate for 10mm, 5mm less may not seem like much but it will help!!

Cheers

[SABBAi]

No probs. Let me know.

[inark]

u could also pick up the 3 CBs i have for u lol

or xfer some cash and i'll simply post em like i did for the others

[ABuSD]

Surely someone must know something!!

Help out a fellow SAU brother!!

i doubt they make 10mm bolt ones, get slip on ones and get some longer studs, they are like $3 each or somthing

[foznice]

I have some but their at marks house atm... and I don't think they're very big...

oi mark.. how big are my spacers??

[foznice]

ok they are 5mm spacers don't know if they will be of any use to you.

[ABuSD]

Yo foz, i take it they are slip on ones though?

If they are bolt on ones gimme a price

[FATGTS-R]

Never seen 10mm bolt ons the smallest I've seen is 20 or 25mm I think.

I beleive the reason is so there is some meat on the nuts to bolt them on. Think about it. You want your wheel hanging on by nuts that are MAX 10mm thick?

[ABuSD]

Yeah totally forgot the technical side of it.

Thanks anyways guys got offered another set of rims so i think ill throw a less complicated set on.

Chrisman, ill definately get back to you on those 15mm ones though!!!

You can put Peco Star rims backwards on the Lada to increase offset.

Doesn't help you - but it would make my car look phat

[ABuSD]

If theyre your rims, when are they goin backwards on the Lada?

Throw em on and post up some pics!!!

Then u can pump the guards and spray the car midnight purple, would be like u never sold your GTR!! (Actually then u would have to spray the rims bronze) KGB-GTR

Also need my rims powdercoated/painted white, who did that fantastic work on those rims?

[foznice]

Hey kelly.. I don't know what you mean by slide on and bolt on.. How can you bolt on a spacer????...

anyways my 5mm spacers just sit in between the rim and the hub.. and the nuts go on top of the rim as always...

speaking of rims, i discovered that my spacesaver was a 4 stud anyways.. so if i blow a tyre.. im f**ked.

[ABuSD]

D@MN i better go check my cheese grinder just incase its a 4 stud too!

umm how can isay, i too have the 5mm slip on ones actually on there at the moment.

The bolt on ones slip on the hub and 5 new threads poke out too, so u keep the same length of thread. When i use my 5mm slip on ones, the thread shortens by 5mm if i went any bigger the nutwould sit on the stud on a thread or 2.

(Hope that makes sense, if someone with better knowlede of this stuff can explain it better please do).

Thanks to Garage-13 for the pic, im sure it will show u better:

FATGTS-R is right though i dont think u can get 10mm bolt ons cos there wouldnt be enough meat on the spacer and the original thread would poke out the other end.

[foznice]

ahhh I understand... sort of.. how does the spacer connect to the original thread AND the wheel though?

I see the extra holes there pressumably for the original threads, but then how does it sit on the wheel correctly, unless your wheel has 10 holes?

[SS8_Gohan]

spacers aren't law friendly are they? or are some types ok?
