Styling spacers

[cheekycento21]

Hi all. I have just got some new 15s for my cinq.

The front went on fine. but tight under there. but went to put the rears on and they hit the rear arm.

what size spares do i need in the rear.
Thanks Guys

well perhaps the wheel specs would help?

 

[cheekycento21]

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.

nice wheels mate.
Think ive 5mm spaces on my 15"s but i also had to trim some of the rear arm and re-weld it on my seicento.

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.

i dont really want to cut my rear arm or anything like that.
Thanks

Its not cut, its the way the metal is joined, you have like 2 wings and ive just had those trimmed back and strenghened to fit the wheels

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.

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!

my front ur write i can get a front lock but its o.k to drive.
my car in on standad sporting suspention.

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

 

[cheekycento21]

yeah wear can i get the spaces from. im going to need longer bolts aswell. do u think 8mm would work?

this is the best place ive found!!!

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.

 

[cheekycento21]

so ill need the type 11 ones???? where did u get ur long bolts from mase

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

 

[cheekycento21]

was that for all four?

 

[mase]

was that for all four?

yes mate... that £35 was for 16 studs, and 16 nuts

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

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