    i need some people to let me know if you you have some 10mm spacers, what make they are and what type of fitment they are etc

    as Ive just bought some of these off jjcrace and rally who are normally a fair priced accurate company



    the spacers themselves look good but they simply do not fit (they have also been fitted before too as they had witness marks all over them so were not brand new), they don't sit flush against the hub, however the only solution they have offered me (other than returning them) is to have the counter bore machined out

    which normally id be up for getting done, however the actual hub itself where the wheel sits sticks out by around 12-15mm, so i cant see how you can actually have 10mm hubcentric spacers?

    what am i missing here?

    heres a couple pics of them against some old hubs in garage





    Solved, gunna get them machined

    drums is your problem, they'll fit most disc hubs fine.

    Had some H&R 10mm hubcentric spacers on my old Saxo, they were highly recommended for quality at the time and true to the recommendations they fitted perfectly and never failed.
    Their thicker ones that required a second set of wheel bolts were prone but only for user error with over tightening

    ahh so they exist

    i have seen the H&R ones but in comparison were double the price!

    did you fit yours onto drums??


    just annoys me that these dont fit, as they silly light, but i cant see how they can be machined out so they fit over the hub, theres no enough material

    why do you need a 10mm spacer on the back?

    gotcha, all you need to do in that case is grind down the spigot on the hub/drum till the spacer fits, nothing much else you can do due to the thickness of your spacer.

    one thought though, if your wheels currently need spigot rings for the spacers to fit, you could get direct fit spacers which will have more meat to them, you can then take the inner bore out futher without making it too thin.

    ive got a way round it all

    basically i run several sets of wheels as its a track car, so i have road wheels, dry and wet track wheels

    all ET18 but all have different centre bore sizes

    1. 65.1mm
    2. 72.6mm
    3. 75mm

    so what ive done is bought 1 set of 5mm 4x108 hub specific spacers (65.1mm CB)

    and another set of hub specific (72.6mm) 10mm thick 'hubcentric' spacers that have a CB of 65.1mm (so basically eliminating the need to run spigot rings)

    then ive bought a set of spigot rings that 75mm - 72.6mm


    job done. just alot of fooking around and quite hard to find exactly what i needed at a sensible price!
