rear spacers

Is it directly road speed related? If so, the Rear wheel bearing is probably worn, and the spacers are providing extra leverage with the new offset causing you to hear it now...or the bolts are too long and protruding out the back of the flange and touching something...
That's my thought without hearing or seeing it in person!

That statement makes no sense...
You can fit hubcentric ( meaning it fits centrally on the hub) spacers with varying lengths of bolts so you could indeed be using ones that are too long... The word hubcentric has nothing to do with the bolts...

I think he means he has the bolt on hubcentric spacers. Which use the oem bolt for the wheel and oem thread length for the spacer, just has half the 'head' size (which makes them very easy to round and under tighten)
That's my guess anyway.

I thought that... But like to clarify..

wanted to try them and yeh they were bolt on hub ones i think the oem bolts were a tadge too long and bent the spacer a little thats why wheel was catching if you get what i mean but i got a refund and gonna try some 20mm this time unsure on which so what do you lot used if you do ive got 10s on the front
I don't think you'd bend a 30mm thick bit of metal. Not easy any way.
I ran the eBay 20mm spacers there in a white and orange box. Bout 45 quid iirc
Same bolt on type

honestly mate it was bent i couldnt believe it either was cracked aswel prob have to chop end of the bolts off so ive been reading?? ill take a look at those mate thanks
I do love being right.... Haha
Unfortunate dude, bending a spacer? Did you wham it off a kerb of bam it up super tight?

possibly too tight mate i never put them on tho was a mechanic so thought he would of know but ill just get some others ordered and go from there
Could be the wrong seat on the bolt, or the seat on the spacer was malformed? seen wheels crack from this...
