tire 10 Report post Posted June 2, 2010 Hey if I get an alignment now then fit spacers to the rear will they throw out my alignment? Also, if my wheels aren't hubcentric does that mean they can't be aligned? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIR E30 68 Report post Posted June 3, 2010 It wont throw out your alignment. Not being hubcentric also wont effect your alignment. BUT it is illegal.. My front wheels arent hubcentric to the hub, and aside from the legal issues the only thing I face is getting the wheel on right. Its a matter of doing up the nuts evenly and torquing them all the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't you get some rings machined up to save any hassles? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I know about the illegality, I've got wof wheels Wow! How do you get on with that? If I run E39 rims on the front without hubcentric rings I know all about it!

I can't get rings machined up becauase apparently they will be too thin which makes them too brittle. Edited June 3, 2010 by tastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thinkthe best way for us to try and solve this is to attach the spacer to the back of the wheel and put a hubcentric ring in the spacer. Bring all your shizz in and we will have a look at it for you. We may need the wheels for a few days, and it goes withut saying .. you wil need a cert.

tire 10 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 So turns out my front wheels were 80gm out of balance and I was running a total of -1.84 front toe. So I got that sorted then mounted the wheels as squere as possible with even torque on the bolts and bam, no wobs up to at least 120! Stoked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
