WTD 20mm Aluminium Wheels Spacers Ford fitment
Anyone know where I can get a set of 4 of these in ALUMINIUM (not steel!).
And they must be the bolt-on type ("countersunk" spacers with special conical nuts that fit flush) not the sort that require longer
studs.
Oh and hubcentric for Ford fitment (63.3 or 63.5 mm centre bore).
If anyone has a set or know where I can get some that meet that criteria please post here.
Cheers!

"bolt on type actually" means the very nasty univesal type that use stud extenders.
I think you are thinking of hub adaptors similar that were used (by Caterham in the dim and distant past) to adapt between different PCDs.

no they are actually bolt on spacers just good quality and alot safer than the normal spacers with extended bolts you bolt these to the hubs then bolt
wheel to spacer

Yeah k33ts knows the ones that I mean.
I already have some steel ones but have you felt the weight of them, they are seriously 1/2 the weight of a wheel (about 2.5Kg for the spacer and
4.9Kg for the wheel).
I reckon in ally they would be about 800g (the steel ones I have are 25mm and I think I want 20mm ones now).
I had some 15mm ally bolt on ones for my 200SX before that were Jap ones that I ordered from the States. Very light and sexy but not cheap. I just
want the same in the correct Ford PCD and centre bore.
Not finding any very easily. There were some on www.wheelspacers.co.uk but he wanted about 100quid a pair when I want to pay about that for a set.

What a totally stupid idea, however dreamed up the idea clear dosen't understand the basics of how wheels mount ---- long wheel studs are a lot
safer.

Found someone who'll make me a set but not cheap at 125quid plus 16 for post (and these are light ally ones!).
Can anyone tell me off the top of their heads what size and pitch standard Ford studs are so I make sure I get the right ones?
Cheers

I really want bolt on ones but thanks for the offer.
Actually have you got a full set of 4 and are they hubcentric and 20mm thick? If so how much do you want for them - email me.
