Wheel rubbing on Kei force 10's

[danieltm]

I got round to having a look at the rubbing noise which is coming from my front wheels, I was shocked when i took my front wheels off, The tyre has been rubbing on my coilovers So much that it has taken the nice green paint off the springs! I have now put 5mm spacers on the front and 10mm on the back. It is better but its still rubbing? It now missing the spring but when on full lock its rubbing on the inner arch, so i am going to get my self some 12mm H&R spacers and this SHOULD sort the problem? I just wondered if anyone else with Force 10s has had this problem?

Not for me but I don't have coilovers and I needed 20mm spacers to clear the Brembo's on the LCR. Get 15mm hubcentric spacers.

15mm will do it im sure! Where can i get them from? and what about the bolts? I had a
look about ages ago and i had loads of trouble finding the longer bolts? so i gave up!

i got 10mm forge spacers from TTS. i'm sure they do different sized spacers and longer bolts.

Demon Tweeks sell spacers as well as Bill on here. However not sure about the bolts as I got a stud conversion when the wheels were fitted at Demon Tweeks.

Ok, Had a look about. All the prices seem to be pretty much the same. Now i just need to sort the bolts, I sent an email to Kei racing, so will see if they can help? Bit gutted to be spending again but guess it needs sorting. Thanks for the help!

Hi
Just wanted to know b using spacers the wheel/alloy sits further away from the central,hence adding more pressur to the nuts ?

More pressure will be felt on the wheel bolts, yes.
these should be upgraded from the standard ones to give extra length

Or you can use a studs and nuts conversion, like I did . Kei did supply the parts as I seen the boxes. Just don't know the exact prices as said above, Demon Tweeks sorted it all for me. 4 spacers, 20 studs, 20 special star type nuts, 4 spigot rings etc...were around £200 all in.

i use to work for KEI racing, they did do hubcentric spacers for citreon n pug and think they did honda too not sure about 5x100
the lad alex or daz should be able to help you

the prob wid kei wheels is thay the offsets are fairly high 40-45 and they dont clear calipers they only had a few with good brak clearance.
