LCR Wheel Spacers?

[BHP Addict]

keep us posted mate and let us know if they fit correctly...

sorry to sound dumb...what or where is the spigot????

I assume it's the lip that comes off the spacer. Hopefully be getting my car back tomorrow so will let you guys know on Saturday with a bit of luck.

Go to the like i posted above, you don't need longer bolts as the spacer comes with the bolts to hold on to the hub and then all you do is bolt the wheel to the spacer.

yeah i had hubcentrics on my old gt-four
im just after a small widening on the rear, not sure if i can get hubentrics of a think enough space (5-10 each side)

ill probably just leave it

Fair point

Well i got my car back yesterday but i didn't get a chance to fit the spacers, hopefully i'll get to do them over the weekend at some point.

Ok, i fitted the spacers last night and they fit perfectly.
Only problem i have is if there is a passenger in the back the wheels arch rubs, which makes having a 5 door car pointless really.

I assume G2232 that your LCR isn't lowered at all?

I have the Koni FSD's and Eibach springs which i think lower the LCR about 20mm which is the only reason i can see that makes mine rub out.

So looks like i'm gonna be taking them off when the weather dries up

I’m looking for some spacers for the rear too rich, from what you’ve found what size would you think would fit? Something around 15mm, or are we talking less? (I’m on coilovers)

 

[richybigman]

I honestly don't know mate, i would be inclined to go for 15mm spacers but then you have to get longer wheel bolts which is more expense. I'm just gonna leave them off i think. I'll get some pictures when it dries up abit.

I've found these 15mm spacers:

Has anyone fitted these to a lowered Leon and if so do they rub when you have people in the back?

Cheers

Oh BTW anyone want to buy some 20mm Hubcentric Spacers

talk to bill at badger five mate bourght some 15mm eibach spacers from him very good quality i have rs6 15mm all round lowered 20mm no probs .they may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for.and im sure you wouldnt want a wheel comeing off.

 

[richybigman]

Cheers for the info

I know it can be done, but alot of work is needed for them to fit correctly.

Ive got 10mm on the rear and 14mm on the front, mine is lowered of FK Silverline Coilovers, and I dont get any rubbing when the chunky monkeys sit in the back.

Ive got longer bolts fitted as well. From memory i bought the FK Spacers which needed to be machined slightly so they fitted perfectly.

 

[AdamRoutley]

anybody got spacers on the standard FR rims?

 

[s3 evil]

spacers

any 1 had spacers fitted with coilovers on a 54 leon cupra r if so wat size on the front and rear with out any rubbing

Can anyone confirm for definite that 11mm Forge Hubcentric Spacers fit the rear hubs of a LCR ok? I've heard and read there may be an issue with the hub "lip"

Would be much appreciated

Thanks!

this is my experience fitted these with a set of rs6 reps on my cupra r though god only knows why ,you cant beat oe and that is only my opinion others will differ however the spacers were hubcentic h and r and if a mate after a week of fitting them had not stopped me i would of lost a wheel,the lip of the spacer had sheared off and to this day i dont know why i am middle aged and a very experienced mech,but as i say every one will have there own opinion,they may have been faulty i got a replacement set but decided to refurb my lcr alloys and sell the spacers on
