mr v6 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I've been looking at spacers lately, but was worried whether there'd be extra stress on the hub / bearing assembly with the wheels being further away than they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panoz33 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi buddy. I know the post is almost a year old but I'm thinking of buying the same spacers. Any feedback after a year on the car would be much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any feedback after a year on the car would be much appreciated Thanks I have same combination 20mm front 25mm rear for just over 3 years now. Car felt a little bit more planted to the ground but that might be a placebo, no issues at all. I got them from Tarmac Sportz who is a trader in this forum.

Panoz33 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi guys. Thanks for the info and the quick reply. I have decided now to go with this set up myself 20mm front and 25mm back. I have one last question though. Is the stock wheel studs too long for the 20mm at the front? Worth mentioning that I have the stock GT wheels. Do I need to modify anything in order to fit this set up or just bolt on and ready to go? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Bingo Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've had absolutely no issues with mine, I had the touring alloys back then and I've got a set of Ray's now, still no issues. They also just bolt straight on, no need to modify anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers both front and rear are same, you'll need to bolt them onto your current wheel studs. Stock studs aren't long enough for proper thread engagement (or it might not even reach the nuts. For front, you'll need to remove 1 bolt (about 1 inch long) from your disc hub on each wheel. They are there as 'fail safe' to stop you from putting rear wheels into the front wheel (Touring wheels or Rays). You'll see what i meant after removing the front wheels.

Panoz33 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 @veeg33 appreciate your help man. Really good guide and helpful with the pictures. When I said if the stock studs are too long I didn't mean to use them to tighten the wheel and the spacers. (hope it makes sense what I'm saying lol) What I meant is that once you bolt the spacer into the hub then the stock studs are a little bit longer than the spacer itself. I've noticed that at your pictures as well. Now I'm guessing the stock wheels have holes and that doesn't matter as you and all the other guys fitted them without having to save the studs. Hope I didn't confuse you too much trying to explain what I mean lol Thanks for the tip about the bolt for the fronts as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to shorten the stock studs.....all fits nicely, just bolt on and off you go =) Yeah, that 1 inch bolt is there for fail safe, not to hold the disc as mentioned in my thread as I've found out after the post why they put an extra bolt there.

Panoz33 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Job done. Thanks for your help guys. I'm very happy with them although I think the wheel bearing is going now lol I suppose it was on its way anyway just now with the spacers it's a bit more pronounced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Bingo Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Looking good! Shame about the wheel bearing though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
