Title: Fitted wheels spacers.
Post by: GaseJo on May 16, 2009, 05:09:41 PM
Hi,

Got round to fitting wheel spacers today, I was hoping to do front & back but the rear ones have not turned up as yet..

Anyway Fronts 15mm & 25mm on rears.

As she was..

Wheel Off..

Only being 15mm The original studs needed to be cut down, So i fitted the spacer nuts to the studs for 2 reasons.

1. To give me the length the studs needed cutting to
2. Incase i damaged the thread Then when i undid the nuts it would recut the thread for me.

10 minutes later spacer fitted & wheel back on.

Fills the arch alot better.. Ohh for that extra 15mm :D
When i get the rears fitted i will put up another pic.

Cheers Garith.
