Dblock Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ok i recently bought some spacers, the ones that go on the hub and have screws coming out of them. If you know what I mean . Now i dont know if i need bolts, nuts or what to fit the wheel. E.g. I need 20 nuts or bolts. Im not sure which ones I need. I know they are to be 19mm nissan ones but bolts or nuts? Also does anyone know a cheap place to get them as my local place who said bring them down wanted 2.50 each and £50 is alot of just bolts or nuts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 this is an example of a bolt this is an example of a nut you've got me confused aswell, admittedly not hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 So what do i need then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 To me it looks like you'll put them on with nuts. Then you'll put the wheel on the bolts and secure with a wheel nut as usual. Do nuts not come in the kit with it? ----OR---- Is that the kit when you replace the existing wheel studs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 If there the eibach spacers, CS can source the correct nuts, as I managed to round a few of mine off So make sure you dont overtighten them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 u dont get nuts with the spacer kit just extra long bolts to make up the extra lenght of the spacers so that the nuts tighten on the same amount of the thread the new bolts sholud be of the same width and thread as the shorter bolts and the nuts should go on just the same, provided uv got the right kit lol i used the same nuts on mine. hope this helps and makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Did you get the nuts to bolt the spacer to the hub? If not then the original owner should have supplied them!! If you do have them, then just bolt the spacers on, and then put your wheel on as normal with the wheel nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like the one where the spacer bolts on to the existing hub bolts and then the wheel on to the bolts on the spacer - no need for extended bolts. To the OP, you need 20 nuts to bolt the spacers on and then your existing wheel nuts to bolt the wheels on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I cant understand why the seller didn't supply the original nuts. If you now have to pay another £50 then you would of been better off buying new from a trader like CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
