wheel spacers

[eScoRt20]

hey all, i need to get some spacers made up for my project escort. who in perth, preferably SOR around melville/myaree makes them up? kinda weird sizes, so theyll have to be custom made i think.


cheers, Tom

If you can't find someone to help you have a look on ebay dude, I have seen a lot of custon sized ones on there before.

If your OK with a drill, and can get the right thickness ally or metal, then you can do em yourself pretty easily.

there was a guy on ebay that done a new hub for the escort which gave you 5 stud and you ran S4 rx7 disks
for a bout 400 bucks i think

Bad thing about spacers is they put the load on the studs not the hub. The load should be on the raised section of the hub that the hole in the rim fits over.

You run the risk of snapping studs otherwise... may never happen but it does increase the risk.

i have snapped a stud with slip on spacers. mate has also snapped all 4 studs with slip on spacers when heading down the freeway. Bolt ons are a much better than slip ons but still a bit dodgy.

need 2mm ones for my rear, barely touches the strut tower

one of the downsides to FWD blake haha

very toit fit with 7" rims on the rear of my car aswell, 3mm spacers seem to work fine, only downside is the tyres rub on the bumper under cornering

i ended up getting wayne at embleton to make me up some. 45mm, so obviously bolt on. and i took my hub in, and a wheel, and he made them up to fit the hub and wheel. ive got a big brake upgrade kit off ebay already, which puts it at apparently the same track as a normal escort, but running commodore rims, the offsets were totally off, and the wheel couldnt even go over the studs without hitting on the strut.

thanks for the replies peoples. Tom
