i just recieved my welds today and they dont clear the GSR brakes, was wondering if u knew the right size spacer i can run with them? i will be using extended studs, it has a 5inch backspace, some say 1/4 inch or 10mm,8mm, not sure which i can use, i dont want something very thick, just enough to clear the brakes. TIA

 

10 views and nothing????

 

Why don't you just use some washers and figure it out?

 

i was actually thinking of that too, but then not all washers are cut exact, thanks though

I had the same issue with my bogarts, ended up requiring a 1/4" spacer. For some damn reason I had a box of washers laying around to figure out the required spacing.

 

pm me when you find out im gonna have the same problem

 

i guess a 1/4 inch sounds right. thats like a 10mm spacer?? correct me if im wrong,

 

Here is where we bought ours from

rota92 and I bought 1" spacers and had them cut down by our local machine shop.

Very good guy's.

 

tried looking for them at pep boys, they had some but really big for 5 and 6 lug (trucks?) anywhere else?

I got mine at a local auto parts store, universal 4x100/4x114 spacers. I'm sure you can get them at Summit or Jegs as well.

 

I had to use an H&R 5mm spacer on my 13x8 bogart fly stars with my SI brakes. I reccomend the H&R spacers cuz they're hub centric and dont move around.

 

i cant answer your question exactly but i took some old civic rotors and had them cut down. the exact thickness was .255" which is just over 1/4" which were perfect for getting my bogarts away from my spindle also.

 

thanks for the replies

 

u guys still have rubbing issues? when turning

is this really necessary compared to one that's not hub centric like the universals??? i heard different stories. anybody wanna shed some light???

 

i bought pep boy spacers for my car because i was rubbing with my lenso/m&h 24.5x9's. i had a slight shimmy on the wheel so i ended up buying the H&R hub centric ones. a littlepricey but they work really well, i like them a lot.

 

i just got some spacers from ebay, ims ure they will do its job
