Ap coilovers rubbing

Featured Replies

Anyone else running ap coilovers and standard vrs wheels. Mines rubbing on the tyre wall and split one of them. Don't know what to do? Iv tried 2 wheel spacers and I just get wobble from them.

You'll need to get some hubcentric spacers to get rid of the wheel wobble. Proper spacers designed to fit the hub and wheel exactly with longer bolts will sort the problem ;)

I bought a set from a member on the forum. They were from awesome I believe. They were hubcentric and still made my car shake. They had to be removed from his car with heat so think that may have damaged them.

Have you checked the wheel balance too?

I had wheel balancing and tracking done a couple of months ago.

5mm and had some for the rears they were 8mm. Didn't try the 8mm on the front tho.

5mm would have been a flat spacer so technically not what people refer to as hubcentric, this may have been why you got wheel wobble.

What do you class as hub centric? The bolt on sort? Think I'm going to have to change my wheels so they don't rub. Guess if I put 5mm less et they should be fine.

Hubcentric spacer
