Re: Incorrect offset, spacers, hub spacers, engineering.. HELP	Sat, 01 May 2004 14:07

in a way it makes it easier.. since you are effectively changing the offset of the rim itself, the bearings and stub axle will not be loaded badly.. what you DON'T want is really long wheel studs that bend and flex as they pass thru a 25mm spacer.. what you basically want to do is to have the spacer bolted securely to the hub. so much so that it is then considered part of the hub. and then from the hub to the rim are normal length wheel studs, which will not be overloaded. the spacer should also have the same shoulder as the original hub, so it transfers the weight of the car to the rim properly. to get this engineered costs... $440? (STD eng cert??) and to get the spacers made up... dunno, depends if you know someone who can machine stuff... ask the engineer what materials to make it from... can you sell the rims and buy ones with the proper offset?
