Spacer Problem & Steering Wheel

[Jimski]

How do all!!

Basically had a set of 4 15mm spacers on the leon, which with them being the same PCD i assumed would fit on the beeza.

However i cannot get a flush fit to the rears even with the hub nut cap taken off. Theres literally 2-3mm in it.

Im assuming that its to do with the inner chamfer of the spacer? Can anyone shed any light on this or offer up a make of spacer that would fit?

Might just have to sell my set of 4 and bolts to buy the 2 correct ones i need!

Also, whilst im here, seems someone had a bit of a frantic session on the horn, and the centre S badge of the wheel has been pushed in a little, is it pretty each to get this off and push it back out?


Cheers

I would Image that the Ibiza has a different inner bore to the leon? But im not 100% sure....

the wheel S badge is on the air bag so there is no easy way of doing it without taking the airbag section out and replacing

Its wierd that your spacers won't go on, as the centre bore is the same Maybe use the man tool?

Tried that, i think the problem is that the 'collar' of the ibiza hubs is 3-4mm longer, apparently after talking to some specialists, this WAS a common on older spacers, a 5mm shim/spacer is needed.

So iv sold them, will get proper ones!

I've got a set of FK ones, they fit fine! Picked the set up for £90 quid!
