Flynnn Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I need rather thick wheel spacers for my Falcon.. I've enquired a couple of AutoBarn stores but they seem to have thin ones in .80mm in thickness. I'm thinking i might need 20mm or roughly something along the lines. The Question at hand is: Where can i look around?

turbo_brian Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 You know Wheel spacers are actually illegal to be fitted, and they place massive stres on your hubs as well...... B.

adam-__- Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 They're illegal, but what isn't these days. Just spend the extra money on hub centric spacers and it should be fine.

turbo_brian Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 For god sakes make sure you have decent wheel studs that grip properly, and that you make sure everything is fitted right, Spacers are bloody dangerous if some spanner fluffs the install. I had centrical spacers on my wheels of a 180sx. the spacer was installed incorrectly, snapped 2 studs, sheared another stud, and then the wheel nut came off on the 4th and last stud, all this was while I drove along a highway at 1am from Brisbane back to Sydney, and was doing 110km/h when my rear wheel overtook me NOT GOOD!!!! Also, try something, stick a wheel on a 5cm rod, and wheel it around the desk, place a bit of pressure down and try to keep the wheel straight. Now get a 15cm rod, and do the same thing with the same pressure on the rod, and see which one is so much harder to keep the wheel straight with applied force. From this simple experiement, you will know why Spacers are illegal, and it's not for the same reason as Exhausts, pod filters, larger turbo's etc. There is a true safety feature for these things. B.
