Title: Do you know how much this would cost???
Post by: Carnage on April 16, 2006, 09:33:24 PM
Sup all.   :)


Im thinking about getting a small spacer so that everything is on one flat plane
(since you can tell that the middle bore sticks out ever so slightly)
that would also mean getting longer lug bolts for the lug nuts.

Do you know if 2 small spacers and 10 longer lug bolts would be costly?
What would be a good price?
Where would I go to get them?

the problem is the flange helps center the wheel not the lug nuts
you would probley get a high speed wheel hop

Yep, what he said. It's not a good idea.

Not many spacers have a flange to locate the wheel. The lug nuts should locate the wheel OK, I've not heard of anyone having a problem. How thin a spacer do you want? Usually they have holes that the stock studs go through and the studs that the wheel locates on are fitted into the spacer. That means that the spacer has to be thick enough to accept the stud.
In the UK I have seen thin universal spacers for sale, probably only about 1/8in.

Get a dremmel and do it yourself.  I did a set of Dodge alloys to fit mine.  The lug nuts center it up just fine.  The lug nuts are cone shaped, the holes are cone shaped, they WILL center that rim.

Here is how I did mine.

Mark the back side of the rim about 1/4" larger than the existing hole.  Use a dremmel and grind away.....  You don't have to make the entire depth of the hole larger, just deep enough for the flange to fit inside.  It took me about 20 minutes per rim, but I like it.

really?

I can just grind away the middle to make it fit?
