Hi all

Need some spacers for my new alloys to clear
My vented brakes. After mocking it all up I believe I will
Need 15mm of additional clearance. I don't want to have to use 20mm spacers.

Anyone know where I can get 15mm or 5/8" spacers?

Would I be alright using a 10mm + 5mm spacer together?

Cheers

Not a good idea as you are introducing another shear mode ... extra failure point.

Ah ok. Do you know of any spacers this size then? :)

19mm spacers they sell other sizes as well and they come with studs.

I don't know of any 5/8" spacers, have you asked Minispares ?

Remember once you alter the centre line of the wheel between the bearings the more you move outwards the more load you apply to the wheel bearings, and this can reduce there life span in miles.

Yes and your bump steer will increase as well as your steering will be heavier.

unless the offset is different to other mini wheels, I made some 55mm alloy wheel spacers for a customer who wanted to use Honda wheels, to enable them to fit correctly the offset had to be increased.

I'm not bothered about reduced mileage wheel bearings or ball joints. I don't have a problem changing them :)

I Am using new 10x6 cosmic alloys which are not very deep dish and are quite inset.
Just realised that with a spacer my new group 2 arches arnt going to cover the wheels

This isn't my car, but this is a 6x10 cosmic with the same grp2 arches I have, do you think it would be ok as is with a 19mm spacer? I would also be putting the sill/arch trim on so would add like another 5mm to the arch width

Unless it has changed, the law used to be looking vertically down you must not be able to see any tread pattern, that doesn't mean you can have slicks or bald tyres.
