Spacers!!

Post by nitin_s1 » Wed Jun 17, 2015 7:45 pm

I am thinking about getting some spacers for my ATR/Motegi wheels as you can see in this pic they are really lost in the arch, :?

Not sure what size to get but @RattyMcClelland did recommend me 20mm all round. :idea:

But before I take the plunge, I want to see if anyone has any 20mm or 15mm spacers that they can borrow me so I can fit them and test it out first. :idea:

Let me know what you have. :geek: I will give you a surprise for the help. :geek: :scaredtoss: :twisted:

You will need hubcentric spacers with the extra bolts on as 10mm slip on spacers don't fit using original length studs/bolts.

Nitin, do your rear tyres not catch on the rear arches/bumper? (Presuming it is a 4ws).

Ever since putting those ones on mine that I got from you, the rears always catch when 4ws is operating (sorry to hijack the thread)

Cut the tabs off and relocate the attachment.

Get the wheels with proper offset :)

Definetelly lower that you have got now ; )

9 inch wide wheels and offset around 35 and less will fill arches nicely.
