Spacers for wheels

[dr00]

bolt on spacers are great, im looking for some if anyone knows where to get them. i was talking about the dodgy sleeves or washers on the studs. thats what the russian roulette business is.

i agree mate, they are, and as for the measurments, i think they have to clear the studs so that when u bolt the spacer on, the nuts are countersunk into the actual hub, providing a flush fit for the wheel, u can even get them with the center locating ring so the wheel fits snug. so about 24mm, i think thats what i measured,thats on my r33, then again if u dont need that much, and to save the wheels from pretruding the guards, u may be able to shorten the studs aswell, thus having narrower spacers.

you usually get shorter studs with them ive been told. the right length to sit inside the spacer whatever thickness it is.

so $150 an axle for spacers and about 20 to 30mm are what I need for fitting big rims on the car? in general terms. I rather hear it from other users than someone trying to sell me the stuff.

madman are you talking about me with the selling stuff thing?

just measure it up once you have the wheels. mine has passed pits with bolt on spacers on the rear (WA). i recently had some made for the front to clear r32 four pots, they cost me 150 to have made inc metal, the drill bits to do it, and the labour. would cost approx 100ea to do it again tho, now i have the tools.

get wheels which fit in the first place tho, saves the hassle. if you have wheels which do need speacers measure it up and have them made according to what you actually need, not what other people have since we all have them for different purposes (wider track , clear brakes, fit fat arse wheels etc)

Is there any local shop in Brisbane that make/sell these wheel spacer that bolt on to hub? I need 10 mm spacer to clear the front brake.
