johnny cobra Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi guys had my spacers a while now and found some time today to fit them ... So I get the front wheels off fit the spacer 1st one ... look really good . So I put my aftermarket wheel on and don't fit ........ It is the nuts that the spacer is held on with bit long and stick out of the spacer .... So my question is should I just trim the nut length or try to get shorter nut What do you think guys ??

buster Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 had the same problem with an aftermarket set of wheels...in my case the it was the stud that was to long so we grind them back a couple of mm until they sat just inside the space. shouldnt be a problem as long as your leaving the spacers on. only other way to do it(this is how i currently do it) is to remove the spacer studs and the hud studs and replace the hud studs for 20mm longer ones then use the spacer as a slip on.

JetSet Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Ran into this problem myself once. The wheels I had didn't have the inserts inside the wheels for the bolts to fit into. They were Vertini wheels BTW. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny cobra Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have the cut outs on the inside of the wheels .... But the nuts seem too long ... wont go into cut outs .. should I just grind the corners of the top of the nuts ??? JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) you need to replace the oem studs with ones that are 20MM longer. so you dont bolt the spacer onto the hub, just use it as a spacer between the hub and the wheel flange unsing your wheel nuts to tighten the whole lot up. Make sure that you spacers are hub centric tho. If you want to bolt the spacers on, you will need to grind down the oem studs flush to the face of the spacer. And if then you cannot use the given nuts that came with the spacers for secuiring because of the bore diameter is too small, you will need to drill out the counter bore to the correct dia. Make sure you use locktight on the nuts. Hope this helps. Edited November 7, 2014 by ZZZebady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
