That link just takes you to a list of manufacturers they supply, not a specific product. What did you mean to link it to?

 

[zippyy]

Thats strange it worked earlier. You will have to search the site

 

[RobM]

For what? Spacers, of course, but which manufacturer were you looking at?

 

[dannyk]

The spacers are under Suspension. Manufacturer H&R.

Cheers

just looked but misleading 10mm with bolts is only 2 x 5 mm spacers ...

so if you want ten mm either side you have to buy the 20mm ones ...

so whos going to start the group buy , would offer myself but never done one before

 

[leon7284]

Im up for joing a group buy i desperatly need spacers on the front my coilies have rubbed a massive groove into the inner side wall of my front tyres- recon they're going to pop soon! Staying below 100 now : )

 

[RobM]

I've sent Bill @ Badger 5 a PM to see if he would be interested in running a group buy. Hopefully he can arrange something for us

This might seem like a daft question but when fitting spacers,

Do you;

A) fit the spacer to the hub then fit the wheel to the spacer?

or

B) put the spacer between the wheel and the hub and bolts go through your wheel and spacer and screw into hub??

i thought it was B but then i read this *see below* (and NO i dont want one that wiide it would look silly yes, i was just browsing) lol, but am interested in GB just need to get details to Badger 5

some of the wider ones are bolt on to hub, then wheel bolts to them. others in the 15-25mm size range are hubcentric and fit between the wheel and the hub and use longer bolts to clamp.

Ahh is that what hubcentric means! guess what i've learnt today!

Cool cheers for answer by the way!

Just thought I'd give this thread a bump, as some of the people who said they were up for a group buy on spacers have not yet added their names to the thread in the Badger5 forum.

 

[zippyy]

Would 20mm be ok on the rear?

 

[RobM]

I think that would be pushing it a bit, 15mm seems to take the wheels to the edge of the arch and I'd be worried that any more would make them an MOT failure and might cause rubbing.

 

[LiCkWiD]

Looking into getting some new rims atm. Going to hold-fire on the spare front until I know what I'm doing.

 

[Balf2k]

No I don't think 20mm would be ok, not on LCR rims anyway. When I had 3 people in the back of mine I felt the clearance between tyre and arch and it is very close, it doesn't rub but i'm sure 20mm spacers would cause it to rub the arch.
