Spacers where to buy?

[Aimez]

All going well, thanks to Ad Lav , should have some lovely VRS alloys on my car in a coupla weeks.
I have been looking at posts of someones car on here that is black and has the same wheels on and apart from the shocking need to lower (I will do this but need to save ££!!) he put spacers on striaght away.

I will do the same, I understand I need hubcentric spacers as the other ones are dangerous do I need anything else? What happens to the wheel bolts do I have to buy new ones separatly? Where can I buy some good ones anyone have any links?

Also when I get all this fitted is it advisable to get the traking checked or anything like that?

Sorry for all the questions I couldn't find all the answers on old posts as everyone seems to know what they are talking about!

I'm also looking for some rear spacers aimez. There's a guy on ebay - ac5431 who does them but he says he hasn't got any Ibiza ones (5x100 PCD) at the moment but should have some in soon.

Edit: They are about £35 but there are others for about £20 more..I think they are the ones rash has.

eibach do some i think, can't remember where to get them though

I just bought H&R 20mm spacers, they are the DRA system ones which bolt to the hub so you can still use your original wheel bolts and locking nut. Got them for £70 from motorsport world.

Would that be me?


I got my spacers from AC Services.

I can't find the ones for our cars on here. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough!

Send an email to the bloke if you can't find them. I've had mine for about 10,000 miles now, given them some abuse - even got a lil air on them and they are still fine! All bolts and everything are included. Cheaper price than all the others aswell.

I think it was you! I will email him I think as sounds like you have everything included, but TBH spacers for £20 sounds too cheap really!
So you put 20mm on the rear wheels with the VRS rims? Did you then get traking done or anything else?

 

[Ad Lav]

No need for tracking on the rear aimez, no adjustment...

If my new wheels are too wide you can have my spacers...

 

[Aimez]

So when I get the wheel I don't need to get tracking or anything done? I never did on my old car when I changed wheels but I had no money then!

I won't buy the spacer yet then....!

 

[Ad Lav]

Nope, only when you change the suspension...

 

[Aimez]

Thanks good to know! Will HAVE to change the suspension at some point when these wheels are on but that is gonna be pricey!

20mm spacers on 205/40/17 look GREAT as usual but as i showed adlav, 215/40/17 and 10mm spacers WILL look even better...

i dont have 10mm spacers on mine, and the back looks SOO much more stocky/wide! this may be due to me having 7.5j's though

205/40's on the front and 215/40's on the back....HANDLING IS INSANE!

 

[Aimez]

From reading on here I thought they should only go on the back? Oh no I'm confused now and should I get 10mm or 20mm, I thought 20mm as people with the same wheels have done so?

 

[Ad Lav]

Back only on these wheels, they are 17 x 7 ET38 and a 20mm spacer makes it ET18 on the rear... don't do the fronts, handling will be better but its dangerous over 5mm apparently.

 

[Aimez]

ahhhh okay I understand now, thankyou again!! Can't wait for the wheels now!

^^^^ They spacers are 5x112, is the Ibiza not 5x100?

 

[mixupz]

the ibiza is 5x100 pcd...

'aimez' what i meant was that i have 215/40/17 7.5j alloys on the back and im putting a 10mm spacer on. It looks a lot meatier than 205/40/17 7j with 20mm spacers on. But personal choice i guess.
