Spacers

[Thorney]

We run 10mm larger on front only. Longer bolts too.

I've got 10mm H&R on the back only, get wheel studs rather than longer bolts, means you can swap wheels and spacers around to your hearts content.

Can you get locking studs for security on the road????

[_Nathan_]

Yes.

Mcgard do some, only downside is they are 19mm rather than 17mm but I used them for ages, probably have them kicking about somewhere.

[Thorney]

Yeah we sell them. But if Natah has some kicing around get his.:thumbs:

[shimmy]

Does he mean locking studs or nuts rather than bolts?

[_Nathan_]

I assume locking nuts that fit on to studs.

When you say 10mm and 12mm, do you mean on each side (wheel) or how much the track increases ?

Each side Alex, i.e. 10mm spacers fitted on the same axle will add 20mm track width overall :thumbs:

or i like to do 20mm one side and 5mm the other - for Rockingham oval

Or you could set your coils up high one side of the car and low for the outside of the oval, you'd be corning flat :thumbs:

Cool.
What are the changes needed to be done in the geometry setup ?

None.

I run 10mm H & R front and rear, they appear to be very well engineered, and a good toleranced fit. Cant speak for any other makes however.

[shimmy]

apart from spacers shortening the life of your wheel bearings i think the main thing is to be very careful not to drop the car onto its wheels before they are tightened up.

this can cause weight to be transfered onto the positioning ring on the spacer and crack it

Thanks guys :thumbs:

I will go for 10mm spacers this spring.... :beer:
