Paddy78 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I recently bought some spacers (Used Eibach from a forum member) but have run into a problem when having them fitted. The Wheel Specialist (Leeds) who are also refurb'ing my alloys have said that they can’t / won’t fit the spacers as some of the nuts have been rounded. I hear that Eibach replacements are about £5 a piece, so does anyone know where I can get some for a lot less than this? Also, does anyone know the thread size/pitch etc. so that I can try to source some myself. Your help, as always, is much appreciated!

Gudzy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 +1, I'm in need of at least 1 as I've got a rounded nut on one of my front spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Pop to your local metalworking shop and get them to measure them for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I got mine off eBay for £12 delivered i think. 12x1.25 Slim nuts with 17mm head. Fit perfectly on the eibachs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I bought some genuine Eibach ones from CS last year for £2.50 each plus postage. Edited April 22, 2013 by roadtrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks Guys, I think I'll replace the lot as at least half are rounded... though £50 would mean that I pretty much should have bought new spacers! I found these, although there are no prices. I assume the 12x1.25 would be ok? http://www.bimeccengineering.com/wheels-producer/lug-nuts-wheel-lugs/lug-nut-hex-17-mm/cone-seat/open-lug-nuts-cone-seat-17mm-hex-length-23-mm.html I'll also check eBay when I get home. Tom, if I end up ordering some I'll give you a shout as it should save you some P&P if you only need a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 the trouble with some lightweight nuts thats been reported is that they do round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The Eibach ones are quite expensive, drop us a PM if we can help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Tom, if I end up ordering some I'll give you a shout as it should save you some P&P if you only need a few. That'd be great. I should know how many I need on Thursday as I'm taking them off then to change my wheels over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumbMC Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) You could probably go to a metal hardware place like thomas grahams and get a full set for a few quid Edit: so long as they are a standard size Edited April 22, 2013 by CrumbMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Loads of genuine Eibach spacer nuts in stock and good to go same next day, however much cheaper here: http://www.driftworks.com/shallow-open-ended-wheel-nuts-m12-x-1-25-nissan-etc.html Alex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
