Spacers

[Jib]

Ive used the search faclility but struggled to find anything.

Im after a pair of 20mm spacers for my valver.

Any idea where the best place is to purchase these apart from ebay. My paypal account is playing up!

watch the one on ebay they dont aways fit. you may have to measure the spigot lenght. to get the right set. but it is worth getting a set as they do make a difference

PM "Badgerbill" he'll be able to sort you out!

I got mine striaght from eibach..... but I just had a look on the web site and it's all changed now!?!?

Click here and eibach links to companies they deal with.

I basically wanted to go for these because they feel a lot lighter than the cheaper ones. But you will need to buy the bolts yourself, got mine from Badger 5.

I thought 15mm were the most suited?

PS- £35 on eBay , but they're prob the not so good ones

 

[Grayboy]

Well 15mm are probably better for strength and safety purposes due to the bigger the spacer the more stress put on the bolts, but saying that Mig had 20mm on his and the wheels sat superbly in the arches, it will also depend on wheel size your going for!

It's worth spending money on these as you don't want your wheel coming off mid corner!

i've got 20mm ones on my cordy. and they do rub sometimes. i've got 17" on mine. should be fine with 15mm ones

I'm just buying 9" wide rear wheels LOL

 

[Dave_R]

15mm spacers are what I got, arches to rub sometimes cause of them lol

The rubbing depends if you have pre or post facelift car and how much it is lowered. Pre-facelift, the rear arch had a lip hence unless you have it rolled, 15mm is the max you can go for providing you accept occasional rubbing (e.g. 3 passengers in the back).
Post facelift, the arch was rolled so 20mm is possible.

Go for the Eibach ones. A bit more expensive, but at least they fit without all this spigot diameter problems you seem to get with the cheapo eBay ones.

One of the sellers on ebay does off to bore them out if they dont fit.
if my back coils will wind up some more I will be going for 20mm rears to make the rear wider then the front

i would say the 20mm spacers are safer. well the ones i have use the original wheel bolts. this is because you bolt the spacer to the hub and then bolt the wheel to the spacer, therefore not needing to use longer bolts. mine were delta mics i think, just had the little lip bored out inside. fits a treat.
