Re: spacers

Wolfrace 15in Street Octane wheels with195/45/15 6.5J the pcd was 100 but got the wheel nuts. and the offset was what ever the cinq offset is. i had to wait for them to be made or something.

Re: spacers

on a 6 1/2" wide wheel the off-set will not be the same as a standard 5 1/2" wheel, there are a lot of threads on off-sets why not read them and see what you need.

u really need to find out what the offset is for us to be able to tell u what size spacers to get, otherwise it will be purely guess work.

however, i will say it is very unlikely they will be the correct cento offset. they will most prob be about 36 or 38mm.

for 6.5 wide wheels u will prob need to get them down to about a 26mm offset to make sure they dont foul anythin on suspension etc. but they might stick out from the arch a bit and will def rub if the car is lowered at all.

Re: spacers

yeah when i ordered them i ask fot the offset to be 36. and have just asked the guy and he said.

They where 100 PCD and 36 offset. he gave me longer wheel bolts.
The front went on sweet as a nut.

6.5" wide with a 36mm offset? u kno that will be fouling on the suspension on the front so u wont actually be able to drive it, either that or u wont get anywhere near full lock!

my suggestion.... 10mm hubcentric spacers, and longer bolts to match!!

but they will almost def stick out from the arches a bit so the tyres might rub on the arches if the car is lowered at all!

well if its ok to drive then its upto u matey.....

IMO i would say get some 10mm hubcentric spacers as the offset is a bit too high with that width wheel, i can point u in the direction of some hubcentric ones if needs be.

but at the end of the day its your car so its your call

this is the best place ive found!!!

http://www.performancefx.net/wsfiat.htm

10mm hubcentric spacers, and they come with longer bolts. however i will say that u might need to get even longer ones dependin on the length of the ones they supply... cause i bought the 15mm ones from there, and the bolts they supplied werent long enough.
