I am after a pair of 12mm spacers with the extended black bolts in good condition, pls PM or post if you have some for sale.

 

Go to http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detai...DUCT_ID=2475725

I bought mine here...they are the actual manufacturers also. H&R...And you can buy the extended lugs down at the bottom of the page.

 

We have got to stop meeting like this...people will begin to talk

Thanks alot i will check it out!

 

"International orders welcome" it says at the top. If I were you, with brand new 172's, I wouldn't be trying to buy "used" spacers and lugs. Go for a nice set of new ones. And don't forget to smear some anti-seize lubricant on them before installation. You want to be able to remove them at some point....can rust onto the rotors if you don't.

I got 10mm rears only for my M5 and got the black extended lugs. The lugs don't have the exact same shape hex "head" on them (no concave middle part), but who's looking at lug bolts anyway? They have a satin black finish, unlike the parkerized, matte OEM ones. So, I got some FLAT black Rustoleum spray paint and gave them a quick shot, and they turned out great...not necessary, but worth it to me.

 

Yeah on second thoughts you are right, i think the spacers would be OK but you never know if someone has over torqued the lugs which could compromise their strength. I dont like the idea of one of my new 172's rolling past me on the highway just to save a few bucks. I dont suppose you can get facotry lugs as i am sure they dont recommend spacers?

 

The factory lugs only come in the one length. You'll need to buy the extended ones you'll see below the spacers section on their website. Obviously you'll need 10 if you only do the rears. There are different length lugs depending on your spacer width.

I almost got the 550i instead of the M5 and that would have been the first thing on my list of mods, as it was on the M5.

Do it! You won't be sorry.

 

I am glad there is a DR in the house....cheers i appreciate your advice!
