anyone know of any suppliers or have any 10mm spacers knocking about? sadly the wheels I bought off here recently are ET25 and in a 9j flavour they are hard up against the shock tube.. very annoying.. as I was hoping to get the buggers on today what with this weekend being my birthday and all..

ok, I can't for the life of me find any hubcentric 10mm spacers for the old turd.. anyone know any suppliers? space is tight so I'd rather not go for 15's (which seem to be quite easy to get!) I can find the 35mm bolts for 10's but not the spacers themselves.. only universal sh*te..

I think 12mm is the thinnest hubcentric available

Here, double check on the centre bore size though you need 57.1mm.

ha ha.. great minds think alike Lee
I've just spoken to a friend who works at heritage! it's only up the road from me too so I'm going to pop up there tomorrow and have a gander! although they're out of sodding 35mm conical bolts (which is what I'd need) so I'll have to see what I can do..

I bought those revolution rfx (Schmidt modern line 1's) on here! 16x9's with a polished lip.. They look great, although I've got the wrong tyres on them (in my opinion) I'll post pics laterr

I had a pair of 10mm hubcentrics on mine, they were for a golf. Only problem was I had to have the rear hub locators machined down a bit to get them on

I had to do this with 15mm hubcentrics on the rear but only needed to take a few mill off.DanThe wrote:I had a pair of 10mm hubcentrics on mine, they were for a golf. Only problem was I had to have the rear hub locators machined down a bit to get them on
