how to put spacers on

[mick calvert]

right here we have 4 20mm spacers and new bolts

note that the bolt doesnt go on the short threaded endthey are only resting in for visual

now thread the nut onto the bolt as far as it will go, now undo the 2 12mm bolts on the brake disk and place the spacer on smooth side showing

now place the wheel on and fasten up

here is the difference with 20mm spacers, but please note that arch work is required for road use a rubing is a possibility.

without spacers

with spacers

I think when you get up to that size, i'd rather use bolt on hubcentric's

those spacers are an accident waiting to happen. spend the extra money and get hubcentric ones before you kill yourself

 

[Ash]

[Ash]

the ones you have in the top pic are not the same as the ones in the bottom pic

the top pic are the bad ones

the bottom the good ones

the bottom ones have a center piece that sits into the wheel to take the weight they then bolt to the hub with special shallow headed bolts you then bolt the wheels onto the spacer!

ask scotty for a picture of some properly fittes spacers im not on my desktop at the mo so cant post one

 

[Ash]

by the way they make the car chomp through rear wheel bearings due to the extra strain

 

[mick calvert]

tar will look into those

Sorry donny but i have to say this, this is the just too much... you dont even know anything about spacers and your going round telling people how to turbo charge / supercharge a car! If i was you i would serious consider NOT telling people that (they probably dont know any better) how to turbo charge/ supercharge a car, because when it goes wrong (and it will) it will have been on your recomendation.

now i know your heart is in the right place, trying to help them get what they want on the cheap.
