Wheel Spacers
Kartdad - 4/4/12 at 10:19 AM

Dear Builders

I am planning to add a set of Caterham wheels that I have bought (lush) to a Escort axel and I need to add about 1" of spacing both sides as the wheels have a deeper offset than I had planned

Does any one see an issue with this spacing?

also I need some ford wheel nuts for building not finnishing any spares in boxes out there ?

many thanks

KD

I hope there aren't any issues mate, I've got 25mm spacers on my alloys to clear the trailing arms

I think it's only when you're going much thicker that the concentric ones are needed?

Might be able to help with the wheel nuts chap, I'll have to have a check tonight. I'm sure I've got some kciking about in there you can have for postage

at 25mm you should be using concentric ones. eibach make nice ones that are safe they cost about £110 for a pair each one 25mm thick with all the required fixings.

when it comes to wheel spacers its best to buy the pucker items for the job as at the end of the day they are the things keeping the wheels on the car and you plus others alive.
