T14PPA Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Ive just bought some uk brakes for my car and spacers as my alloys wont clear the brakes. However the bolt studs on the hub are too long and go through the spacer to far that they stick out so the wheel wont sit flush. They are 20mm hubcentric. Anyone had this problem? Any ideas as i cant afford new alloys at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 you would need to change the studs for shorter ones unless you added a normal spacer before the hub spacer. if it was me tho i would change the studs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) I would get some 25mm hubcentric spacers if the wheels have enough clearance. Or cut the studs on the hub as long as you can get the complete nut on then it should be ok.

Slicknick Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I would use a proper wheel spacer with some longer ARP studs, far stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
