Wheel Spacers?.

[PLuKE]

I know that there not the best thing, But am just trying a few diffrent things.

I tryed some 10mm non hubcentric rear spacers just the cheap ones, And i got some vibration thought the car while braking, But i didnt get many turns on the wheel nuts (4 full turns).

So i just wanna try some 5mm spacers for the rear, Will this still cause vibration while braking?, As there will be plenty of turns on the wheel studs.

Yet you still drove the car on the road?

You don't yet have enough knowledge to modify a car safely, put it back to standard until you do.

I drove it a few miles if that, And took the spacers off. I was told 4 turns was enought.

6 turns for wheel bolts please ... (that's what I have always understood to be correct)

[PLuKE]

6 to 6.5 turns is what i have heard, Anyway i dont have them on anymore.

8 turns minimum as a rule of thumb from every old engineer I've known, which works about right when you sit down and work the strength out.

If you got the proper hubcentric type that comes with the bolts etc.... you wouldn't have this prob but then you would probably get inner wheel arch tyre rubbing issues as proper hubcentric bolted spaces start at 15mm a side, so maybe you're better of without!!
