Wheel spacers and spigot question

[Texxaco]

Always use a decent hub centric spacer

Best thing you can do with that is throw it in the bin Didn’t even know that bit was supposed to come out!

Cheers @Jayjmac i will once my replacement spigot arrive.
I blame you @Jayjmac since your van images made me want to tuck my wheels into the arches to lower it more

Don’t blame me

Of course, hence my saying we just need to know the cb of the wolfrace wheels.
Not sure how something so simple can be turned into something so complicated on this thread

Thanks @j4ckal your knowledge is appreciated.

You said of course... but you saw how complicated it got

Suspect that’s my fault.

Spigots have turned up today however the conundrum I now have is the length of the wheel bolts I need to fit for my Wolfrace GTP wheels.

Will standard VW bolts do the job? If so what is the standard length of the thread as I am toying with the idea of cutting the over length bolts that were fitted when the spacers were in place.

 

[Jayjmac]

Standard will work.

Standard will work.

Cheers @Jayjmac

What length is the thread on a standard bolt as I want to cut down the oversized bolts I have.

 

[Jayjmac]

I’m pretty sure standard ones are 35mm long.

 

[Jayjmac]

A touch longer is always better.

@Texxcao all this for the “tuck”

don’t forget... it’s all about offset

 

[Deleted member 24754]

Offset is 43 @Jayjmac 20x9

It’s all about the tuck. As you say

 

[Jayjmac]

If it tucks it goes lower.. that’s my main concern

 

[Texxaco]

@Jayjmac what offset do you have on your wheels, did I see you mention it was 43 in a post in the past?

 

[Jayjmac]

38 front and 42 on the rear at 10.5 wide

 

[JOG]

All we want for Xmas is a nice, tight tuck!

 

[Texxaco]

38 front and 42 on the rear at 10.5 wide

So my front and rears are 20x9 offset 43 according to Wolfrace. I am concerned that if I remove the spacers and replace them with standard spigots the inner wheel will hit the strutsetc.

 

[Jayjmac]

My wheels are the only 10.5 inch I’m tucking..

 

[Texxaco]

Only 10.5 lol

Now you know the offset you can pump it into “will they fit” my cantera were 8 inch offset 43 they were fine with a 5mm shim. Im pretty sure that anything as wide as the 8.5/9 fronts will need a 35 offset on the front. 43 is spot on for the rear. You may need a spacer on the front but not much. Only way it to try it without and see what rubs. You won’t hit the strut
