super_supra Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I ve just started to fit my UK spec brakes to find that my wheels dont clear i know spacers are not the best way but they will have to do untill i can find the wheels that i like and can afford. The only H&R bolt on spacers that is stated to fit the supra is 25mm on each side i dont need to space off that much and dont want to if i dont have to. I have found these H&R bolt on spacers 20mm thick but they are for a Toyota Corolla Verso R1 but all the size's, bolt pattan and thread's all seem the same as a supra do you think they will fit? http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3884652 Thaks for your help Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 They appear to be suitable but perhaps they don't offer that size spacer for the supra due to it's weight and potential power output having adverse effects on a thinner spacer with built-in wheel-studs. My advise would be to measure exactly how big of a spacer you need first and then see what safe options are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Do the alloys need spigot rings? If they do I would just get custom 5mm or 10mm spacers made up with the correct spigot size. Otherwise the minimum size you can go for (hubcentric) is 10mm. Bolt on the minimum IMO is 25mm. For 20mm you would need webbed alloys.

super_supra Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I need about 15mm spacers was looking at the bolt on type as i had heard that fitting longer studs and normal spacers wasn't as good as the studs can snap! not sure if my wheels have a locating spigit i will have to check i do know that it has a recess in between the bolt holes so the origanal studs will not foul on the wheels.

Scott Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You should be fine then. I know there was a couple of 15mm bolt on adapters kicking about the forum not so long ago. The fact that you have the spaces between the bolt holes makes all the difference to your options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_supra Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I ve found some 15mm bolt on spacers on ebay but there from america still trying to find some over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are hubcentric there are no sideways forces on the studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If u find a set of 15mm hbcentric spacers gimme a shout as i need another set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Probably weren't hubcentric... If they are hubcentric there are no sideways forces on the studs. Here we go again It's lateral forces and thanks to the invention of friction this is not an issue. Spigot's are for centering, not load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
