Hubcentric Spacers And Extended Flat Faced Bolts

[Guest TwoZeroFive]

running 205 1.9gti wheels on my 106 gti and fitted some 4 pot calipers yesterday and in need of some spacers

 

now i can find the spacers fine its just flat faced extend bolts i am having trouble with, have to be flat faced to fit the 205 wheels.

Studs and nuts are your best bet IMO.

the conversion kits that are on ebay?

 

just been looking at those

[jackherer 543]

Not sure about the ebay ones, there have been some group buys on here for some decent ones made by Graystone IIRC.

 

The studs are available in 60mm or 80mm which is handy if you're fitting spacers.

Its possible to get washers that allow you to fit tapered bolts. They have the female version of the taper one side, flat the other.

 

But ideally, go for a stud conversion. As they make fitting the wheels a lot easier

Somethign i keep meanign to get round too

Especially with spacers, fitting wheels with spacers and bolts makes me very angry.

hubcentric spacers will just spin where as the rubbish 5mm universal ones i have on at the moment are a total pain spin and drop down below the holes so bit of double sided tape to hold them in place.

 

need to measure the bore size on the 205 wheel and the hub diameter that the wheel sits on on the car.

 

job for tomorow now

think you've got the type of spacers confused there, Hubcentric are the ones that fit the centre bore of the wheel precisely, and locate onto the hub as the wheel would normally, though even these can be a fiddle to get lined up precisely there are ways around it, Studs are one of them.

 

bolting them to the hub is another easy solution if they have enough material.

Or use extended disc screws and bolt the spacers to the hub with 'em

[welshpug 1,636]

that's what I meant Phill

hunting the web now for what i will need.

 

might go for the stud conversion ones but would be nice to find some flat faced extended bolts, there all tapered
