You need to buy two kits anyway just buy what you need/want.

Thanks for link

Really looking for the cupra r wheels, but i know they're impossible to get a hold of

 

[marv_n69]

ok if thats the case i would need a set of these - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/hr-...centre-bore-571-bolt-thread-14x15-p-3525.html priced at £119(Rear) and then a set of http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/hr-...centre-bore-571-bolt-thread-14x15-p-3523.html priced at £107(Front).

Over £200 for some spacers..................WTF!!!

no need to spend that much mate. give ESP Engineering a ring. I bought mine from them.
They're hubcentric cnc'd aluminium and are really good quality. think i paid £110 for all four, 2x10mm and 2x15mm. this included longer bolts, you'll need longer lock nuts though. give Bill a ring at badger5 for these.

esp engineering 01892 613292 ask for Liam

 

[marv_n69]

cool, cheers for that matey!!! one thing though after putting spacers on, can it damage/wear drive safts & wheel bearings?

 

[marv_n69]

Anyone advise on my last comment?

 

[LEE69]

Can't recall anyone having any problems on them small spacers.

 

[marv_n69]

Small spacers? 10 & 15mm.

Do people use bigger ones?

 

[LEE69]

Was thinking along the lines of wide arches and having to space out the wheel to suit some 8" possibly?

 

[marv_n69]

Ok just rang ESP Engineering to enquire about purchasing some wheel spacers and one of the questions they asked me was.....do i know the Bore Size & Hub Diameter?........Any ideas?

I have a 54plate LCR running standard 18" wheels.

pcd 5x100 bore 57.1

Like Lee69 says. I've never heard of issues with wheel bearings etc. 15mm wont create a huge amount of mechanical "leverage"

 

[marv_n69]

Cheers matey, £70 for spacers ;-) so now just need to get some new bolts as ESP don't supply them apparently ;-(

Is Badger5 a member on here?

 

[sheffboy]

Top quality kit as well.

Bill has his own section in the forum sponsers sections

[marv_n69]

cheers for all your help peeps & sorry about the daft simple questions..................well i say simple haha simple to you guys ;-)

 

[marv_n69]

p.s 1 last question......

As my front are going to be 10mm wider and rears 15mm wider is it as simple as the wheel nuts needing to be an extra 10/15mm longer than standard ones?

yep, but you'll have to cut the locking nuts down slightly as they are usually a bit longer than needed. iirc bill will supply you with a set of four that will be long enough for the rears. obviously the fronts are 5mm less so you'll need to cut them down accordingly.

When I got mine from ESP they supplied the bolts with the spacers so i can't comment on Bills non locking wheel nuts. they may need cutting down for the fronts but I really dont know. I'm sure he'll advise you.

hope this helps
