Oh No.............

As some are aware my 92 clipper has been in storage/respray since Oct last year, they've come to fit my new old skool Intra wheels and the fronts wont budge as there stuck on the calipers, apparently i might need at least 5mm spacers on the front but he thinks the rears may benefit from spacers too……


I'm not too keen on paying ?80+ ebay prices and may just put back on my BBS rz's if i have to.

Anyone and ideas/opinions?

Hi i have recently bought 5mm universal spacers of ebay ?10 for 4 pal just look about cant remember the name of the seller tho.

mate save some cash and grind if its only 5mm you can grind your calipers i have done this many times and works well

I had a similar problem with my current soon to be changed wheels mate. The et is spot on but the design of the inner surface of the wheels just doesn't clear the carriers.

I've got 3mm spacers on the front and had to grind the carriers a little, not much but they just clear them now. Provided the wheels are centered on the hub you should be okay, the bolts wont center them tho so be careful mate.

Ive just bought some 10mm spacers for ?10.00.

Lets hope that fixes it!!!

I wouldn't go that big unless they are hubcentric which for ?10 I doubt.

You have to center the wheel on the hub otherwise you will get terrible wheel wobble at about 70mph. Also with an extra 10mm either side you put extra strain on loads on components giving more cause to failure.

Be careful mate.

Not that bad mate, just don't want you to make a mistake is all. I drove for a while without spigots and it's a nightmare on the motorway, juddered about like a git. BTW the bore you're after is 57.1mm so you may need some if they are aftermarket wheels.

Good luck with it

T :wink:

but to start with, the 10mm spacers can be used to be sure it fixes the problem, THEN find some hubcentric ones.
