General Cinq 13" Speedline Abarth wheels/Spacers ?

[kwikdrawkid]

Good News : Fitted the long awaited and rare 13 " Speedline wheels as finishing touch to my Cinq Abarth refurb, nicely kitted out in fresh correct
165 x 55 x 13 Pirellis...

( Car is lowered c. 30mm on Eibachs with new Bilsteins )

Bad News : They don't fill the arches as much as the standard alloys wearing same aspect Nankangs.....particularly at the rear

So question is, all you fellow 13" Speedliners, what size hubcentric spacers should I be looking at installing front and rear to get the correct stance ?

Cheers

The reason they will not look to fill the arches out as much is the are only 5J whereas the standard alloys are 5.5J, so loosing half inch of width on the alloy.

I can't remember the ET (off-set) but sure its stamped on the wheel, check that and post it up may help on what's a good size spacer.

But at a guess on what would look better would be 10mm spacer up front 5mm spacer at rear sure ensure nothing rubs.

Thanks, for the advice

Been out in the snowdrift to look, but no offset stamped that I can see.
unlike the standard ones '....ET where are you ?'

Does anyone know if they are the same as the 14" Speedlines - ET36 ?

If so, then your recipe sounds about right to adjust against the ET 31.5
of the standard Cinq alloy. ie that would add up to the standard OEM 3mm spacer plus 5mm at front, and the standard 0mm plus 5mm at the back.

Did arc run his Cinq on 13s before his 14s ?

Did arc run his Cinq on 13s before his 14s ?

Yes he did, and he might still have them

 

[arc]

he did, and does.

they are ET 30.5, it is stamped on the rim. I dont remember what spacers i ran with them.

Thanks for that vital info, arc.

So, v. close to original alloys then, but narrower overall aspect rim.

Time to do some more calculations it seems !
If you do happen to remember what spacers and tyres you ran on them, it'd be good to know.

Cheers

np
tyres were 175/50, if i had to get guess, i'd say spacers were likely to have been 10mm on the front and nothing on the rear.

I'm on Pirelli P5000 Drago 175/50 tyres on my 13" Speedlines, with an Mpi Sei & only 3mm spacers at the front (a fitment of UT brakes thing).

I also have 3mm spacers on the back to clear my PGT rear calipers.
