Quite often when you get a really good deal on some 3 peice wheels you overlook the fact that the offset is not exactly what you need.

I bought a set of wheels that are +42 and ideally they need to be +35 to +37 so I need spacers. At the moment I have some rubbish ones that look like they were made out of tin foil and the holes are even elongated so they are multifit.

the wheels are perfectly balaced and without spacers there is no wheel shake but with them there is noticable steering shake at 100kmph so the spacers are not holding the wheel flat on the hub. (what a suprise)

So I need a pait of hubcentric 5mm to 7mm 4x114.3 spacers that are a flat peice of steel.

Does anyone have access to a lathe and if geven specs could make a pair up for me? happy to pay :laugh:

how in the world could you make 5mm bolt on spacers mate? so of course he is not using bolt on spacers, and there is nothing dodgey about a proper spacer machined out of a piece of billet aluminium. we have some about 30mm on the race car and have no problems at all.

yea i get steering wheel shake too at 100km/h

are spacers really illegal? because I have just put 245/45 on my front wheels and it looks like there is no gap between the suspension top and the inner end of the tyre. I think it is hitting when I turn or go 100km/p.

Im thinking of getting these spacers but im not sure if they are legal? They are not bolt on, but go between the hub and wheel

the link is here:

WHEEL SPACERS 5mm

where can I find good ones?

ok if any one needs them ill make a couple of sets but if there are more than 10 sets ill make a cnc program

just need PCD of stud holes O.d and I.D and thickness

contact via pm

cheers

I ended up getting some machined up in sydney.

they are alloy and ave hubcentric rings with just my 114.3 x 4 pcd. they are 8mm thick. but to use them captive insert nuts have been used that actually have a shank that goes through the wheel and centres in the whole in the spacer.

sorry it's a bad description but they are an impressive bit of kit.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
