Mk1 wheel spacers

[OlberJ]

Quite fancy a little extra width on the track front and rear with the new Mr2R wheels.

Without having to go out and measure up, cos it's wet and i want to order some now, how much centre spigot lip is there to play with?

Will i get away with 10mm or will it need hubcentric spacers?


Cheers,

Centre spigot is only about 3 or 4 mm. Don't worry about that though, it's only there to help locate the wheel, it isn't used to centre it. The angles in the stud holes and wheel nuts are what locate and centre the wheels.
The bigger problem is that the studs aren't long enough to put much of a spacer on them. I have 5mm spacers for my 15" wheels but I wouldn't use longer than that on the standard studs.

That's great cheers. Just what i needed.

I should add that 5mm spacers make almost no noticable difference in looks or feel. I only use them as my 15" wheels are 45mm offset and I want 40mm on track wheels to get them ideal.

10mm extra track front and back wont go amiss for a tenner.
