Morning all, another question, and quite an important one,

Ive been putting this off for some time but really, It needs to be sorted ASAP

My tyres (due to offset of wheels) are rubbing on chassis legs and also on body itself!!!

I am looking for a pair of wheel spacers (size debatable)

and new wheel studs as my wheels dont give me much space for the thread.

can anyone link some studs that are longer please? (that fit)

can anyone link some spacers or does anyone have some? :thumb2

Oh forgot to mention, this is only on articulation, but its starting to eat away at the body!!!

new steel rims are cheap, why not just buy rims with a bigger offset?

Well to be honest, with the thread i have available i would rather get studs as it needs to be tackled anyway.

and it gives me a bit of an excuse to widen the wheels just a smidge :thumb2

The reason you don't have much thread as the metal on the alloys thicker.

Do it properly with better offset steel rims, I hate wheel spacers.

Wish i had the money to go any buy then change over another set of wheels but cant be done.

Defo 2 cheap spacers n longer studs needed.

Spacers are about £50 I think for 2 so not sure how that compares to say 2 new steel wheels with a bigger offset:augie In time i'll be getting spacers for mine but that due to me wanting to keep my alloys

well, my alloys do look kinda cool, dont forget labour on the cost of that too.

Im just not sure what type of studs to get. I need longer ones same thread. any ideas? :thumb2

Getting two tyres swapped over should only cost about £20, you're gonna have labour charges for changing over wheel studs :nenau (assuming you're not going to attempt them yourself)

you can get wheel stud extenders but dangerous to have them imho, as said better off getting some decent steels, i picked 4 up off ebay for £40 and got the tyres changed over for £5 a corner, so £60 all in alot cheaper than spacers and wheel stud extenders

[AlexD333]

[Lazy-Ferret]

So can someone educate me on the dangers of spacers then? :nenau

I bought mine when I broke one from the traders on the banger tracks, they carry a whole range, Arena Essex is the closest I know to you, any Sunday, then get some spacers, the prob with spacers is they stress everything more than normal, Rick

 

[AlexD333]

If I'm gonna get steels id want a set of 5 problem again is budget... :doh

Can anyone find some cheap ones? :nenau

Don't know what the off set is of these rims though just an example of price.
Mine are 8 j(8inch wide) with zero offset.
Off set is the position of the centre(where the wheel bolts on)on the rim.
I E mine has 4 inch each side of the centre making it zero.
Minus off set means it is set further in pushing the wheel out away from the car and positive brings the wheel closer.
You want to be looking for zero or minus offset to help with your clearance issues.
