Baz786 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I have just bought some 2nd hand 18" c-ultra Volk racing wheels with some rather "huge" spacers. Once on the car, tryres and rims stick out of the arches too much!! Looks silly. Where can i get (if I can) different sized spacers from please? I've looked all over the net but no joy....

Marco Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Avoid spacers if possible! how does the wheel fit when you take them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz786 Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 These are special wheels that come with spacers. Japanese racing wheels. If I remove the spacers the wheel does not fit the hub. A bit weird i know but these spacers act as a reducer too. The spacer bolts on to the hub and the wheel then bolts onto the spacer as the spacer has the bolts attached to it....hope it makes sense This is why I need some smaller spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Similar to THESE I'm guessing, which have a 25mm that also changes the PCD. These are going to do nothing for the handling of your car and with spacer that wide, there is a hell of a lot of strain put on the studs holding the wheels on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz786 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi Leett, soz about the delay, not sure what you mean about the pcd of the wheel? where would i find that out from?? I have 35mm spacers all round at moment, so I guess 25/20mm spacer would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz786 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Just been on net and worked it out. The PCD of the wheel is 102.072. On a 5 stud wheel you need to begin by measuring the distance between the centres of 2 adjacent holes and multiplying the figure by 1.7012. Can you sort some out for me?
