10mm Hubcentric wheel spacers
Leeds s3:
it isnt as you have the spacer in between the wheel which has all the force applied to it, you may not feel it and we are only talking small amounts but if i had a choice i wouldnt use them.
Ask any engineer and they would agree, by putting a spacer inbetween you WILL get some play.

I am an engineer, I don't think there will be any movement with hubcentric spacers, they lock-in on the spigot ring on the hub and in the wheel, when the wheels bolts are tight there will be no movement in IMO of course :smiley:

i noticed wheel vibrations on previous cars with spacers and a few other people commented when removing turn in was much sharper.
Anyways thats just my 2p's worth :smiley:

in my experience the spacers exaggerate any inbalance that may have been there already to a point where you can feel it, this can be sorted if you balance the wheels and spacer as an assembly and mark the position for refitting to the car :happy2:

Fitted the 10mm hubcentric spacers i got of wheelman this mo to replace the 8mm non-hub ones I had put on to fit the bbk's.
The non-hub 8mm were causing wobblig and vibrations in the wheel when going over 60mph and the ride was terrible.
The new ones fitted really well, slot into place nicely and the difference between the two is night and day, quality wise and way they connect the hub and the wheel with the spigots.
Been out for a quick spin straight after they were done and problem solved ride is back to normal, :jumpmove:
Thanks ben, top product :happy2:
