wheel spacers

[Schakal]

i am talking about the car specific hubcentric ones that bolt
on to the disc .
are there any problems with using them apart from the increased unsprung mass ?

can also get them custom made , would aluminium be a good choice
of material ?

I use the Eibac ones and I'm sure they are made of ali but not 100%

They are cheap enough to buy to be honest as I was going to get a set made up but it worked out alot more.

how wide are they and how long have you been using them ? front or rear ??
have you had any premature wear , bad handling etc etc problems with them ?

i think they are around 50-70quid for a pair , not bad .

I use them on the front, didn't notice any diff with them on but don't really drive my car much and no premature wear that I can tell but again i've prob only done around 2000miles on them.

To be honest they look like pretty good bits of kit :agree:

Hope this helps

i have heard of people losing wheels while running them, the bolts supplied with the kits that hold the spacer to the hub fail, think it's a kit made by micorlor or something like that. not sure if it's a case of them working loose and you can't check them easily as you have to remove the wheels or they just aren't up to the job
