Wheel spacers & STD LCR Wheels

[LEE69]

They are an interference fit to the hub so should stay in place when you remove the wheel.

My spacers bolt to the hub, then the wheel to the spacer.

ive just recently bought a full set of 20mm's and these dont bolt direct to the hub the have extende3d wheel nuts the reach all the way thru to the hub
the guy who sold them to me said that is safer that way with 20mm or above, but he would wouldnt he

here's my LC on LCR alloys. I've spaced it 15mm rear and 10mm front with hubcentric spacers. The car looks so much better for it and feels more stable.

I dont get any rubbing but i'm only 15mm(ish) lower on eibach pro springs

I must say this looks spot on imo

If I get the spacers that bolt to the hub I don't need longer bolts and locking wheel nuts do I?

 

[LEE69]

No.

ive got hubcentric spacers "FKs" theyr either 20mm/25mm on the rear and 10mm on the front , everyone says it looks amazing and phat from behind =) handles awsome

If I get the spacers that bolt to the hub I don't need longer bolts and locking wheel nuts do I?

but if you buy these that arent really thick enough you have to cut you original wheel nuts down as they can go all the way thru and foul on the hub itself

Jimbob you have utterly confused me dude i dunno what you mean. Please rephrase matey.

Your original wheel bolts now bolt into the spacer, not the hub. If your original wheel bolts used to bolt 11mm into the hub, and you get 10mm spacers of this kind, your bolts will go all the way thru the spacer and foul the hub. Make sense?

 

[Trublu07]

Ahh but as I am getting 15 mm spacers this shouldn't be an issue. Correct?

 

[sambryant]

a 15mm will be a different type like mine

 

[Trublu07]

What are the differences with your type sam?

 

[LEE69]

15mm are a spacer with longer bolts, they are placed on the hub the the wheel on then the longer bolts used.

20 mm have the spacer bolted to the hub, and then wheel on and then you re-use your standard bolts you took off.

Would I get scrubbing with 15mm on the front lowered ? Standard alloys

 

[LEE69]

I don't

Spacers

Just a quicky, can I run my cupra r with 7mm spacers and not buy extended bolts?

 

[LEE69]

No..

 

[gilky]

this is what mine looked like with a 15mm spacer on he front
Ive since taken them off

Why you take your spacers off mate? Did the 15mm rub at all?
