[nsta]

Hey guys, i got some bolt on spacers, and now my car is vibrating at high speeds, have i done something wrong?or did i buy shitty spacers???

Regards

do you have spiggots?

[nsta]

spiggots?

[adam-__-]

I think he means those hub rings for when you get after market wheels. So that the wheel's are resting on the hubs instead of nuts.

[Beer Baron]

are your wheels done up tight?

sadly though this often happens with spacers. the best best is just buy the correct offset wheel and bin the spacers.

Wheels done up tight - torque to 80ft/lbs....should they be tighter on spacerS???

[GTS4WD]

Would a wheel alignment be needed?

[godzl1975]

balance would be needed if there is vibrations.....hubs rings would prob cure that, get em made up shouldnt cost that much. they stop the wheels from moving/vibrating even tho they are bolted tight.

Or do what BB mentioned.

[robbieraver]

spiggots/hub rings will cure that problem, spacers are great for increasing track but bad for this problem and a few others.

you can screw them till the studs break it wont cure the problem, and no a wheel alignment wont help either.

if your im melb give me a buz/pm i can make them up for you ....

[nsta]

where can i buy, get hub rings made up???can someone sell me some please?im guessing they are generic, or do they need to fit my spacers specifically

[raps86]

any tyre place should b able 2 order sum in 4 u. just get the mesurments u need and give them a call

[bryyy]

hmm ive never had this problem running non-hubcentric spacers before.

[robbieraver]

sometimes you have to get them made up.

yes some tyre places will have them, but make sure they are a tight fit, there should be no movement when the wheel is on, NO movement other wise you will have the same problem again.

bryyy- your one of the lucky ones

mine cost me $140 to get made up by chris @ centrline...

[nsta]

What if i just buy the hubcentric spacers from justjap, and sell my current ones???will that fix my problem altogether????

[Beer Baron]

it should do. sorry I just assumed your bolt on spacers have that little 'lip' in the middle to locate the wheel. if not then that is almost certainly why you are having these problems as it's pretty hard to locate the wheel dead centre without the hub ring on the spacer.

if it doesn't look like this, it's not good.

[robbieraver]

if you want something like that, h and r make them from germany....

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

but they do make the wheels stick out a LOT so if your already filling out your guards.........

if your wheel is a standard ID then you can buy off the shelf spiggots for like 20 schmux

i needed custom cause ssr professor sp1's have a weirdo 79mm ID

[nsta]

how do i find out what my wheel "id" is then?, i have 18x9.5" +12 volk racing te37's

cheers

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

pretty sure they are standard diameter.... skyline spiggots are 66ml ID and i cant remember the OD
