yea type 11, they are hubcentric spacers with longer bolts.

u will need to check with them how long the bolts are, standards are 32mm long, so u need them to be around 40mm long to fit properly.

i ordered studs and nuts from www.rallydesign.co.uk so arent using bolts at all. the studs screw into the hub, then the spacer and wheel goes over them and they have nuts that screw onto the end!! makes changing the wheel a lot easier, but they cost me about £35 for the set including delivery and VAT.

look fookin awesome tho and work brilliantly

hi,
i recently bought these 15mm hubcentric spacers for some punto gt alloys i got for my cinq. my query is that the bolts that came with them have a thread length of approx 44mm, i'm guessing it would work out a bit like this:

44mm - 15mm = 29

so it's only a few mm off the length of the originals. would this be safe enough? i'd prefer you use bolts instead of a stud conversion and theres some bolts on eBay that have a thread length of 50mm, would these be a wiser choice than the supplied 44mm ones?

just prefer to be safer than sorry!

thanks,
si

Re: spacers

you would find studs far easier.i have 2 cinqs and the one without studs is a pain for replacing the alloys

yeah, studs do make it easier getting the wheels on and off, had them on before but i prefer the look of these bolts i got with the spacers.

i'm planning on putting 12mm spacers (which i already have) on the back with the 44mm bolts i got and then stick the 15mm hubcentrics up front and buy 50mm thread bolts for them. that'll leave me with enough thread won't it?

Re: spacers

I have always worked to a thread length of 1.5 times the thread size, so 12mm stud/bolt = 18mm of thread length.

Cheers
