zenetti 0 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 Those spacers are not road legal here in NZ as they do not have the spigot sticking out the front to locate your wheel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted March 2, 2011 The reasons to have wheel spacers fitted to your car are to clear calipers or suspensions, to get more grips, to make your wheels sit wider, to make your ride looks phat, to improve handling and perfect for drifting. lol. Why is he selling illegal spacers? Isn't there a rule against this sort off thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) 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? I am running 15mm Rogue Engineering Hubcentric Spacers, they come with longer lug bolts. IIRC I got them from Bimmerworld (with a bunch of other stuff).

CamB 48 Report post Posted March 2, 2011 Interestingly, you can run any spacer you like on a race car up to 30mm (IIRC). Anyone know where to get longer bolts? I need ones that are about 3mm longer (no spacers... but wheels have a thicker mounting surface). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spose this is the loop hole, it should state in the Auction that these aren't road legal and won't comply with cert rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 I posted then deleted it earlier last week as you said you were into the bolt in type.. However I bought 16mm hub centric ones from driven performance. Theyre anodised http://www.drivenperformance.co.nz/scripts...?idproduct=1269 I use them with the race wheels. They still need counter sunk grub screws drilled into the wheels to be legal and longer bolts which I have some spare if you need some. Will sell for cheap.

DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Initially I was but they seem pricey and most of them are to big for what im after. Please explain "counter grub screws being drilled into the wheel" ? All you need is longer wheel bolts for this spacer? Correct me please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you need is longer wheel bolts for this spacer? Correct me please I am not sure what the laws are in Aust but here any spacer/adaptor must either be mounted to the hub(bolt on type) or to the wheel (what Josh did) to pass an LVV cert. I can only assume the rules in OZ will either be the same or tighter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Ahh I see, those spacers will have to be bolted to the wheel then attached to the hub with longer bolts. Spacers here of any form are completely illegal, these will be for show Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
