HELP Sat, 01 May 2004 04:32 The thing that bothers engineers about some spacer's, is that they are not held captive.. The 25mm adapter bolts up to the hub, and then the wheel bolts to the adapter. Enginers have no problem giving these the all clear! The 5mm and 9mm spacers commonly available from Tyre shops/ Wheel shops, are also easily approved IF these are made a fixed component of either the hub or the wheel. Generally you would attach these to your wheels or hubs by drilling and tapping holes into the wheel/hub ,and then drilling the spacers with a countersink. Then you attach by using countersunk head machine screws secured with some thread locker fluid. You must ensure that the head of the machine screw is level or lower that the spacer. You need full 360 Deg contact between hub and spacer and spacer and wheel. Once the spacer is attached to either the hub or wheel then the engineers will have grounds for complaint! Concentric spacers refers to the adapter rings fitted to the centre of wheels, so that the weight of the wheel bears on the hub. This is important, as the wheel studs are not supporting the wheel, only preventing it from moving off the centre support. Engineers will generally allow up to 25mm increse in track. Beyond that the moment arm becomes too long and could result in bent/ fractured stub axles. regards Chuck. [Updated on: Sat, 01 May 2004 04:38] [Report message to a moderator]
