Spacers question + new wheels

Featured Replies

Hi quick question for anyone who may know im putting on some new wheels but they catch on the front brakes.

they are literally about 1mm max away from being flush all the way round.

So ive ordered some H&R spacers 3mm each side my question is do i need longer wheel bolts for these as looking on the venom website it says any more than 5mm per axle require longer bolts

Thanks in advance

some pics of the wheels pardon the filthy car

Also awaiting the fake splits argument lol

If it's only 3mm, they'll be perfectly OK.

Sorry, not fussed on the wheels though ......

Look like they're off a 70s Cadillac.

Thats fair enough lol

I love bbs but im not shelling out 3 grand for lm's + tyres

I am think of saving to get some image f40 wheels though

Think it was Confide who has the 18" alloys running on something like 235/35 for the Fabia. Those looked really good I thought :thumbup:

Will see what yours look like with the tyre and everything on.

Take it your not getting big brakes in the future?

Depending how you style your car those wheels could look nice.

Well im Putting 205/40/17 on these which are 8" wide to give a slight stretch.

As for big brakes im going to get some 2 peice discs with custom calipers which should allow me to go up to 306mm discs

Depending how you style your car those wheels could look nice.
