spacers fitting help

[Aimez]

Okay I think maybe I am just really stupid as no one else has ever asked this but how the heck to they go on I am confused?!

Taken me best part of an hour to get my wheel of the hub (fused on) so not exactly happy when I started to put them on and something seems wrong.

I bought the ones that you bolt the the hub then bolt your wheel to it. I presumed the small bolts that come with it when in the higher set holes (dunno how to explain this and I can't take any pics!) then they went into the hub?
This doesn't seem right to me and they look like they will only then go into the hub a little way and is hard to hold them in place and bolt them on.
Just doesn't seem right and I don't really want them on if they are wrong and this si dangerous so am willing to sounds stupid!

i presume this is how u fit them....the spacer goes onto the hub using the long bolts, and then once this is secure the small bolts are used to go through the wheel and into the spacer??
if that does'nt work list everything you have in the kit

 

[Fl@pper]

which is the wider ? the wheel or the spacer

widest gets longest bolts

i taped mine on, Mine went like this, The shorter flat bolts bolt it on to the hub then your normal bolts bolts the well to the spacer, Hope this makes sence!

Bolt the spacers to the hub with the bolts that came with the spacers, use the countersunk holes, then put the wheels on using the original wheel bolts in the other holes.

Yes cheers, well all of you, but this is the best description!.
I am shattered spent my whole afternoon doing this, well removing the wheels had to keep slamming one of my old wheels into the wheel on the car until it came off, my back aches so much!
I was just being stupid cos I was tired and getting annoyed with it.
I could not see how the wheel bolts would be long enough but it is sorted now and on and I get it.
Wasted my day doing this but gave the wheels a clean and waxed the inside of them so they will stay shiny for longer now.
Yes these are the ebay ones in the link form my other thread, would have been a piece of cake if my wheels were not fused on I tried to fit them 2 weeks ago but gave up!

Damn you!! Took only a few mins to get the wheel nuts off! At least hopefully the wheel will come off easier next time, I was worried if I got a flat I would be stuck not able to change the wheel! I would not have been able to bash the wheel that hard without jack stands.

Wobble them corner to corner they come of eventually.

Keep checking the wheel and spacer bolts they can come undone and thats the last thing you want

 

[Aimez]

Yeh that's what I did but had to keep bashing it, I will check them in a few hundred miles as you should with anything you fit. My back and arms hurt sooo much!

That's good you managed to get them fitted. Its a simple mod that makes the car look so much better.
