Spacers

[martyn191]

Any one have any 10 or 15mm humcentric spacers, or longer studs for the front around this neck of the woods, as my new wheels wont clear the coilovers on the front!

they are 9.5j et25 as it was the only offset they had in stock at the time and wanted them for japfest lol, tried a 5mm slip on and still no joy, need at least 10mm! :nod:

[Teggers]

I have some Ultralite 15mm hubcentric slip-ons if you need to borrow some while you look. I want them back though as I will be using them on the rear of mine once the arches are rolled (Just had no time to do it yet!)

[martyn191]

If i dont find any any where else i may pop up to yours tommorow if your around mate? :thumbs:

[Chriscooke]

pretty sure rare rims sell them along with the studs.

Pas de probleme :thumbs: At work till 5 (as usual!) but the spacers are at home. I can either pop them in the car and trundle to work or you could pop over to mine and I'll tell Bex that you're coming.

:nod: They do. So do JDM garage in Holsworthy I think. Although JDM ones are mostly bolt-ons.

PM Evilchap and see what he can do for you ;)

Just noticed these were slip on, does that mean you have the studs aswell mate??

Yeah I'm going up mate :)

Umm. Sort of. I have the studs but they are holding my wheels on :wack: So I kind of need them!

When I bought my car it had the longer studs already fitted so not a lot I can do there.

You're welcome to borrow the spacers if you'll have enough thread on your studs to fir the wheels on as well. TBH, I don't know how much thread there is on the standard studs. I do know I don't enjoy removing my rear wheels with the extended studs and no spacer - takes bloody ages to undo them :wack:

[Evilchap]

If you do head up this way as per telephone convo... we have longer studs too if you want to take up teggers on his offer :)

[clive]

Undo both bottom strut bolts, and pull the knuckle away from the strut, then re-tighten - there's about a degree of play here which can easily make the difference between fitting and not. :)

some advice i got given

Cheers for that mine was already pulled out:cry:

PM'd you back mate! :thumbs:

slip on s should finish at 10mm.. even thats a push on std length nuts!

I thought it was 5mm max??

[martyn191]

I thought it was 5mm max??

he means he has got 15mm slip on hubcentrics, so you still need to use longer studs, to be honest i wouldnt even use 5mm spacers on std studs!

[mercedessx]

I have some 20mm for sale :thumbs:

[bobbitt]

i mean generally the slip on/multifitment ones you can buy cheap normally end at 10mm thickness.. and no way should you be using these on std bolts with wheels on top!

[martyn191]

Problem is i need them asap, going to take a trip up to see evilchap tommorow and he is gonna sort me out with some spacers for the rear and some longer studs for the front and then hopefully i can borrow teggers 15mm till i get some next week! :thumbs:

:nod: I believe this is the case. My 15mm ones aren't cheap ones though - Ultralite hubcentrics specifically for this car. And my car is fitted with longer studs - the point being that they have been on the car since I've owned it so I don't know how long the stock studs are.

No worries dude - Bex is expecting you at some point ;)

[Monkey Magic]

I've just got some jdm garage spacers for the hachi and they are great quality plus the studs on the spacers are longer than stock so you put slip ons on top of the hubcentrics. Earlier I was running 10mm slip ons on top of some hubcentrics and I still had 8 turns on the wheel nuts (mega tyre rubbage though :cry:)

I have used all sorts of slip on spacers on the s14, never really had any problems with wheel wobble like other people report even had 25mm of slip ons on longer studs with only 3-4turns whilst drifting which to be honest is probably pushing my luck lol

5mm is fine on standard studs, Just make sure the surfaces are clean and you do the wheel nuts up progressively.
