15mm spacers fitted!

[(beeza gti)]

hi all,i fitted my spacers this weekend and thought id post some piccys up for you to see.I had a bit of a mare with mine as i had to convert to studs and nuts instead of bolts,b'cos my wheels would only exept a tuner/lug bolt and apparantly i cant get a tuner bolt long enough for my spacers

Looks very nice m8

Got some 9.5s on the back of my copper ibiza and it improved it, handling and looks wise.

I guess you work for a garage or a bodyshop ? Dam I could do with the keys to a place like that must be dam handy having access to a lift and what have you !

yeah it does help having the keys to the body shop there's good weather in there all year round .the car handles really well now combined with coil overs,im thinking of strut braces next.is it worth it just for road use tho?

its easy to do,i just put 2 nuts on the stud and tightened them together,plenty of high strenghth thread lock on the end of the stud and wound them in untill the bit with no thread on was just showing,just make sure they start off properly as i managed to cross thread 1 so ive gotta buy a new stud

ah right. where did you get the studs from and what length etc are they? i haven't got much of a clue about this!

[ibizacupra]

what type nuts?

 

[R953 VSE]

ones that take an allen key instead of a hex socket, no idea what they are called.
to fit arospeed rsgt wheels.

 

[ibizacupra]

ewwww. will nuts fit studs for that type?

 

[R953 VSE]
