How are wheel spacers bolted on? Does the spacer get bolted onto the hub first, then the wheel bolts onto the spacer?
Or, Does the bolts go directly through the wheel, through the spacer and onto the hub? Not sure how this works, as I plan on getting spacers, but I would like to know if I can use my current wheel locks or will I need to get special wheel locks for the spacers? Thanks. |
Bolts go directly through the wheel, through the spacer and into the hub. Hubcentric spacers will fit onto the hub itself and have their own lip for the wheel to fit into.

Typically hubcentric spacers will sit in between the wheel and the hub itself and be bolted into place with the wheel. Make sure to use longer lug bolts when you install the spacers.

any one know where to get wheel locks for wheels with spacers? If so, how much$?

It depends on the size and type. If the spacers are wide enough (20mm and wider), you can get the type that bolts to the hub. The good thing about going with this type is you can use your stock bolts to bolt your wheels to the spacers. The stock bolts have a very specific look to them (black, with dished heads). Matching these is not easy at all if you need to go aftermarket. http://www.hrsprings.com/images/prod...dra_medium.jpg For spacers under 20mm, you cannot get this kind. You'll need to go with longer aftermarket bolts (probably with flat heads, but at least black). http://www.hrsprings.com/images/prod.../dr_medium.jpg So what width are you looking for? |
yo Phi, I need to get some soon too. When are we doing another Texas meet?
