Wheel spacers query?!
« on: July 27, 2010, 10:47:09 pm »
Hi

Bought a set of H+R 10mm ultra light wheel spacers off Owen lcr on here picked them up from Rubbertoe 2 night :happy2:  Headed home 2 fit them onto the rear axle only 2 find that the spacer will not butt tight against the hub of the car due to a machined recessed edge inside the spacer?!  :confused:s

My question is as Owen had these on the front of his car are the front and back spacers different?!

Cheers

Not as far as I'm aware as I had 4 x fitted to my ED30 and they did not have markings to suggest front-rear?

I will say that they are designed not to fit 100% flush until the wheel is on and the bolts are tightened.  :happy2:

H&R do have different types for front and rear fitment iirc..
For the 10mm hubcentric ones i have its part number 2055571B for front fitment and the A ones for the rear i've been told?
