wheels spacers

[jorre]

When fitting my 18" wheels (MK2 dimensions) on my MK1 Vee i need some spacers for the back. Does anybody know how wide they need to be. So that the wheel sits back as original.

Offset on MK2 is 68mm and MK1 offset is 50mm therefore you will need a 18mm hubcentric spacer.

Do you know where i can find them?

Try here for FK spacers

http://www.performancedriven.co.uk/

You're probably not going to get an 18mm so will have to go to 20mm and if neccessary have it machined down.

The specs you need are 5 bolt, 108pcd, 60.1 centre bore - the site may only list a few spacers explicitly for the V6 but it you find FKs actual site you'll see that the Laguna, Espace etc are the same values so spacers that work on them will work on the v6.

Don't forget you'll need longer bolts and specs for them are:

M12 1.5mm thread, 60 degree concical seat. Standard length is 35mm (thread length).

Forgot to mention - I've brought from Performance Driven and the FK spacers are good quality, light and significantly cheaper than the equivalent H&K hubcentric spacers. They told me it would take 2 weeks to get the particular sizes I needed and they were absolutely spot on.

so if i have it wright and order a set of spacers for a laguna they will fit. For example this : http://www.performancedriven.co.uk/shop ... &CatID=119. And the 2 mm of extra width wont make a diference i think. As long as the rear is wider than the front its :approve: .

Just check the centre bore is 60.1mm as required for the vee.

You will probably find the laguna and megane have a CB of 65mm, this will
create major problems as the spacer will fit the hub with 4.9mm play
(which can be corrected with a spigot ring) but wont fit the alloy as it will
be 4.9mm too wide!!

As v6max quite rightly says go for 5x108mm PCD with a 60.1mm CB hubcentric spacer
and you shouldn't have any problems :approve:

just another quick question. The 35mm is this the original "bolt" length or is this the length with already the extra 20mm? And another question. If i want to level the wheel with the arch. How wide is the spacer going to be for the rear and for the front.

 

[v6Max]

35mm is the original bolt length so you need to get ones that are longer by the width of the spacer (Demon Tweeks for example).

 

[GTTurbo]

To get the alloys level with the arch wall, simply measure the gap between tyre
wall and bodywork and order the spacer width to this dimension. :approve:

Jorre have a look here:

I have just ordered a pair for the rear, they are 15mm each side.

The spacers DONT come with bolts so will need to get 50mm thread bolts, i have ordered mine from here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/alloy-wheel-bolts ... dZViewItem

Send me a PM if you want anymore help :approve:

 

[GTTurbo]

Jorre just realised you need 18mm each side, try these:

http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.uk/p ... 0-7-20-021

They are 40mm extra track width, therefore 20mm each side :approve:

You will struggle getting 55mm bolts, i would therefore buy 60mm and chop them down!!

Try these guys as well:

Scroll down to "H&R wheel spacers" and select "clioB 5hole" from the menu :approve:

I have my wheel spacers. Have ordered them at http://www.biesheuvel.nl and they arrived today. It are OMNI wheelspacers and are 20 mm wide. They fit perfect.
