Eibach wheel spacer

[drifter17a]

Hi 

 

have purchased pair of eibach wheel spacer as I couldn’t fit set of wheels I bought for my car due to it catching caliper.

 

I know I need to cut the bolts on my discs so they sit flush with the nut supplied but the nut doesn’t sit all the way into the groove meaning wheel would not directly fit onto the spacer rather the nuts. Any thoughts?

Obviously you need shorter studs (don't just cut the original studs off!) and really short nuts that will fit in the spacer.

Thus exposing the problems with thinner bolt on spacers.

It can be hit and miss, I can fit 15mm ones on the v37, but only because the wheel happens to have voids on the mounting face that allow it to fit.

Have you checked the mounting face of the wheel and know it will not sit flush?

Rather than cut (or try and find shorter) studs, just buy a thicker spacer (unless clearance from the wheel to the guard does not allow it), then everything is reversible in future

Can you put longer studs on the hub and use a slip on spacer?

Even GKTech's short nuts are only intended for 15mm spacers, and the OP's look like they might be only 10mm. So he'd have to rely on pockets in the wheel hub face to accept what sticks out past the spacer's face.

Ok I thought my allow had a flat back but it does have grooves for the spacer nut/ no cutting needed

 

bolt and nut sticking out from the spacer around 12mm and the groove is around 24mm so all good

 

appreciate the help chaps
