hybrid 1043 Report post Posted July 24, 2010 They need to be bolted to the wheel with counter sunk grub screws and you have to have high tensile appropriate length lug bolts. Pretty easy really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshnz 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Like the other Josh said, counter screw (only need 1) into the hub, must be hubcentric and no bigger than 20mm thickness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetm3 180 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 All spacers require Cert 19mm or shorter you just increase the length of the studs by spacer size Over 19mm the spacer has to be bolted to the hub and then you bolt your rim to the spacer. Got this from a Certifer last week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Like the other Josh said, counter screw (only need 1) into the hub, must be hubcentric and no bigger than 20mm thickness. 29mm is the largest certible .. that was the last info from I got from Lance/Arrow wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshnz 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Sorry, was just going off what I was told when I had to get the old edirty certed, looks like alot of maybe mis-info being spread by certifiers across the land Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Hmm interesting, seems so. 29mm spacers are pretty extreme IMO .. I wouldn't rock them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi guys 27MM bolt on is the legel limit. 27mm and below have to be certed if its above 27mm it will not get a cert. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I think what hes saying is that if you go over 27mm you cant get a cert for it. Anything under and you can get a cert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APT 194 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Get my Cert on Friday, Just to get this straight since my spacers are 15mm i dont have to bolt them onto my hubs using counter grub screws ? but just have longer bolts increased by the spacer length ? Cheeeers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 You need to bolt them to the wheels not the hubs with countersunk grub screws and yeah increased lug bolts with at least 7 full turns to full torque. (NZ cert law) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APT 194 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Cheers Hybrid, was reading up on that link you gave me awhile back and it didn't mention spacers. Owell guess im not going to have spacers not really keen on bolting anything to my wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheeeers You will have to make sure the spacers are hubcentric on both your hubs and whels and they will have to be attached in some way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukenewguy 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 just because im special i run 255 bolt on spacers on the front and 25mm bolt on spacers on the rear with an extra 5mm spacer between the wheel and the spacer, got spotted on last wof the mechanic had a good look at them then passed them with no cert same with ride hight about 75mm, i have never had any problem with the police and i regularly get pulled over for other reasons but neither ride hight or spacers have never come up.

joshnz 2 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 I'm guessing you don't get your warrant at VTNZ .. probably not something to brag about, if someone caught on, say goodbye to your dodgy warrant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pjay 8 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 25mm + 5mm?? Wow. I'm usually one to encourage spacers but 2 separate spacers can't be safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 2, 2011 While on the topic of spacers. Where is the best place to get them from? Ie price. Im looking for a Hubcentric bolt on type. 10-20mm Most companies sell them for $200-$250 a pair. But can get them from the states for $90 US plus postage which looks the be the cheaper option. Any recommendations in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 2, 2011 Best price I have found is $130 a pair. Drift max on trademe? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-358263621.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
