Re: 10mm Hubcentric spacers

careful with 10mm hubcentrics... you need to measure your hubs spigot first. I bought some HK ones for the VW in 10mm... but the spigot is 15mm deep so the spacer just wobbles about as it wont push on flush with the hub. This is pretty common and the solution is apparently another spacer behind them!

Normal spacers will create wheel wobble which will make your steering wheel vibrate badly at speeds over 70mph as the spacers aren't balanced and the wheels won't be centralised on the hub. Trust me, I've been down that route before.

Save yourself some money and do it right the first time with hubcentric spacers. Hubcentric spacers are also a lot safer.

The 10mm hubcentric ones? If so, the part number is 0046532804.

Here's a pic of them fitted to my Punto.

They're not stuck on with anything, they are held onto the hub by the centre bore.

no ofense but these are a tad bit expensive, for that price i might aswell get the h&r spacers. fiat ones are alot cheaper dispite the quality, i can get 4 for £74 !! anyway they are good enough to put on a sei sporting. they can always be changed at a later date anyway. thanx for the input tough
