Hi all, need some help please, after some wheel spacers either 15 or 20mm depending on advice. For a cupra tdi standard with standard wheels. Would like the spacers to be black if possible and they must allow the current locking wheel bolts to be used with bolts supplied. Just want links to kits that fit straight on with no hassle for under £60. Any links or advise would be much appreciated. Did a lot of searches but it's not confirming kits I know will fit straight on. Thanks guys
 
That's an interesting point R3k1355, I think that Toby Davis is referring to the spacers that bolt to the hub and then you use the wheel bolts to bolt the wheel to the spacer. I believe these are called hubcentric spacers (although I may be wrong on that). If not then this would be worth considering Toby.
 
Hi folks, yes, that's actually what I am after TDIpat.

No fuss, or any need for new bolts or locking wheels bolts,

Just want a kit that bolts straight on, are they called the hubcentric spacers then ?

also should I go 15mm or 20mm want it to look as good as the fronts (come out as far, without looking silly)

thanks :)
 
Sorry, I can't speak from experience on this as I haven't done this to my car (yet!) and I don't want to misinform you, so I'm not sure if they're just a bolt on job or if there's more to it. I think there's ones with a TUV approved rating, which might be worth looking into, I'm not sure how much difference it makes but people seem to put quite a bit of thought into their spacers so I suppose it must count for something, if not just piece of mind.

I think there's a minimum size for those due to the size of bolts being used.
I don't think they work too well under 20mm, it's usually the larger sizes you see that kind of spacer in.

the smaller 10-20mm stuff are just slip-on's with extended bolts.
