GunshipDriver Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Looking at wheel options and found some that are et45 in front vice et35 which would mean about a 10mm spacer, not hub centric. Any one else run spacers?
scannon Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 My Caterham has spacers on all four wheels. They change the Caterham 4 x 4.25" bolt pattern to a 4 x 100mm Miata pattern and compensate for the difference in offset between the Caterham and Miata wheels. No problems in about 15k miles.
snookwheel Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I run them when using my autox wheels. If you do use spacers, make sure you are getting the lug nuts at least 8 to 10 threads onto the lugs. Otherwise change out your studs for longer ones.
HOTTTCAR Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I found that when you first torque new spacers and lugs down to 100 ft lbs., they will loosen up and need to be re torqued after a bit of use. They seem to require a little settling in time. Gale
Mondo Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 done it on several cars... no problems. I like the kics brand
