Featured Replies

just line em up when you put the wheel on mate, you will need longer bolts mate 32-35mm

But it would be OK to glue them on, that would make everything easier? Yes, will get longer bolts..

Can't see any reason why not, use glue that can be broken though. And make sure they're central or you can get wobble

ok, will do. Thanks

they aren't hubcentric, so unless you fit them exactly in the centre, you can create wheel wobble under speed, they are a pain to get right to be honest,

also seen a set of these crush under hard tightening, they fell apart when the wheel was removed.

proper hubcentrics dont cost too much, and they centre off the centre bore making it much easier to get right,

After looking around, found these; http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=3177&manufacturer=FK&category=Wheel twice the price, but for a reason i guess.

How to fit 5mm wheel spacers, do you glue the to alloy or what? - you can't attach them with bolt can you?

I really wouldn't recommend running non hubcentric spacers as you will suffer from potential wheel wobble even with thin wheel spacers...........:(

I also wouldn't have thought that gluing these to the inside of your wheel hubs would be recommended..........:(

yes you can see why just from the design, they are machined on both faces one to make to the hub ring, the other to locate inside your wheel and sit perfectly..no wobble, no glue...you can guess what i would suggest!

they also have deals on longer wheel bolts too at the mo

Thanks guys. I guess you're right. They are not that more expensive, so will go for hubcentric ones.

good plan, leave the glue for badges etc!
