Spacers - Kezzieboy - 20-09-2013
As you may have seen, I'm thinking about getting shot of my alloys for something new.
The selection of alloys I'm considering all need spacers, varying from 15 to 25mm, depending on which set I get.
2 questions really, should I get bolt-on ones or bolt-through ones and extended bolts (which is cheaper?). Second question, where should I get them from, and how much should I expect to pay.
I've had a quick look on eBay, but it all seems pretty pricey unless they aren't hubcentric ones.
Cheers all

I'd only go with hubcentric, bolt to hub then bolt to spacer if your going above 10mm to be honest, but that's just me. There's a seller that do 2 for £49 on eBay, and they are of very good quality
RE: Spacers - Connor - 20-09-2013
Personally Id get bolt on ones, as trying to line up bolt holes is annoying enough without spacers
RE: Spacers - Kezzieboy - 20-09-2013
So it's looking like it'll cost £100 just for a set of spacers? Well that scuppers my plans somewhat lol.
Wonder how much the material would cost if I were to make them myself...

Just remember they are what hold your wheels on..
RE: Spacers - Kezzieboy - 20-09-2013
Yeah, I can get them done properly, uni has an enormous workshop and have machined plenty of more safety critical components than these
RE: Spacers - Jonny81191 - 20-09-2013
Make them yourself from steel billets, then do a stud conversion?
RE: Spacers - Kezzieboy - 20-09-2013
Ally surely? And yeah, I guess I could bolt them on with my current bolts, and then stud conversion or just get some bolts to suit.
EDIT: Actually, existing bolts wouldn't fit into a counterbore would they, unless the spacers were ridiculously thick. Hmmm.
RE: Spacers - Curt - 20-09-2013
If you're stud converting, just use long enough studs? There's no need to bolt them to the hub...
RE: Spacers - Kezzieboy - 20-09-2013
Ahh, fair point, as the stud conversion eliminates the issues with aligning them.
So now the question is where to get a stud conversion and how much is THAT going to cost
RE: Spacers - Jonny81191 - 20-09-2013
Yeah, ally is what mine are. Brain fart earlier TBH
RE: Spacers - Kezzieboy - 20-09-2013
Light ally becauseracecar. Despite the fact the wheels I'm looking at are only 6" wide....snowracecar?
RE: Spacers - Jonny81191 - 20-09-2013
You'll also need a side window wiper in that case!

Plus studded tyres and spotlights, entirely necessary for British winters I reckon.

A full-on snow monster/4x4 converted, raised, mudded and bull barre'd 306 would look AWESOME IMO
RE: Spacers - vtec power gt - 28-09-2013
I just bought 2 hub centric ones On eBay complete with flat head bolts 15 mm each for£48 the pair including delivery and they are top quality.
RE: Spacers - Dan306DT - 29-09-2013
