Styling Wheels Refurbed, Mmmm Anthracite Niceness [pic heavy]

Looking into the 10mm spacer alternative, I've been told that while http://www.performancefx.net/wshome.htm say their 10mm spacers are hubcentric, I've been informed by aij29 they aren’t.
They are going on the back. Are hubcentric vital? What are the results from running non-hubcentric spacers?

All the spacers from FK are hub centric as they sit correctly on the hubs and not float around like universal spacers do, what they may not have in this size due to thickness is a locating ring for the wheel, but as was pointed out the Fiat ones do, I just can't verify the thickness of these.

mate... the 10mm ones on that site are hubcentric, the direct link to the fiat ones is here http://www.performancefx.net/wsfiat.htm

and if u look at the "type" on the left hand side, u will see the 10mm and 15mm ones are the same type, i have the 15mm ones on mine and they are hubcentric and even come with longer bolts (but u will have to check the length when u get them)

Ok been on phone with http://www.performancefx.net/wshome.htm (the same people I got my hubcentric 20mm from); double checking, the 10mm ones they do are not hubcentric, their website is wrong (good job I checked ).
They said they could provide some 12mm hubcentric spacers from another supplier with longer bolts but was £78 for a pair but includes the longer bolts.
Ordered them anyway as might not be so bad if I can recoup some loss and sell on the pair of 20mm rear spacers. Least will solve the back problem .

You should have PM'd Adrian as he had a set of 12mm hubcentric spacrs that he doesn't need, sure they would have been a lot cheaper than that as that seems well expensive, even my 30mm FK automotive spacers which bolt to the hub then the wheel bolts to the spacer were only £95 a pair so not much more.

britishbulldog from here had the Abarth alloys on his Sei and also had the actuall spacers from Fiat so I'll direct him to this thread and see what his findings were.

Hi
I told that company months ago that there site was wrong and they still havent changed it
My spacers would need the inside of the wheel machining a little(on standard fiat wheels) so a bit more work involved,but i only want £40 a pair including postage if anyone else is interested
Cheers

oh yea i remember the convo i had with u about them now.... that was some time ago, im just not with it today

Cheers Liam im awake now....

Yep the ones from Fiat for the Abarth 14" rims are hubcentric they were about £32 with longer bolts and securing screws will dig out the part numbers of eper

could just remove the plastic inner wheel arch as this will also solve your problem on the front ne way

Well my 12mm hubcentric spacers came today and don't have any bolts . Though they are made by H&R and alloy, they are damm expensive, £78 . Rather than demand the longer wheel bolts as promised, I think i'm just gonna cut my losses, sell a pair of my 20mm spacers and order some nuts and studs.
Which of these (http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=731_738) studs would suit my 12mm spacers and are these (http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=731_734&products_id=4650) the right nuts?

 

[J333EVO]

the 48mm exposed stud http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalo...=4726&osCsid=bb6af60e39c0f68093280fb63e2c0fb9 should be fine as I am using these for my front wheels with 8mm spacers and 38mm expsoed for the rear with 3mm spacers, I ordered mine this week 2 day delivery, tho i also ordered the SN43 nuts and unfortunetly they have sent M12 1.5 instead so don't fit, but they will change no problem just a pian as i have to send back now.

if you want locking nuts and havn't got any yet I got these again 2 day delivery on teh M12 1.25 ones fit perfect on the studs http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8036480666&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

HTH, Aaron.
