Hmm... How are the wheels meant to fit? There appear to be studs (and lug nuts) in the way.

 

If you take a wheel off you'll see that the're hollowed out and the studs and lug nuts fit into the hollowed out area.

 

Good to hear that the bore wasn't a problem. I went to your "lowering thread" and saw that you have Storm wheels, which are the only OEM wheels that will fit over the optional ceramic brakes.

Thus, you clearly had the extra 3mm necessary to fit over the OEM studs without grinding. I think you're the first to try 15mm spacers with Storms. We know from experiences here that Cyclones and Gyrodynes don't fit without grinding.

 

That makes sense Foosh, i found the storm wheels on ebay, the're quite rare so i thought why not and they we're cheapish.
I obviously didnt know they would work with my spacers so thats a bonus lol

 

Timbo,

Please post some pictures of your lowered car now with the spacers. I bet it looks great!

 

how much room is there once the car is lowered? im exploring some 17mm spacers.

 

Rear with spacers




Front with spacers

 

looks great. do you think i could sneak another 2mm of spacer in?

 

Looks great w/ the 15mm.

 

I don't think you'll have any problems.

 

What springs do you have?

 

I have the H&Rs.

 

H&R's same as unhinged but think im the first in the uk to have them fitted!

 

Hi Timbo,

I'm about to purchase a set of rear 15mm spacers to fit my V8R coupe (rwd). I've read through a number of posts on the subject and see that most members of the forum appear to have ordered their spacers through Lenny at Mortorsport in the US.

I was interested to see that you have fit the H&R 15mm spacers, which appear to have a very slightly smaller centre bore hole (63.3mm vs the 63.4mm that Lenny appears to have been making).

I would prefer to buy my spacers in the UK rather than import them from the US, as it will be easier to deal with any issues, and have found a few shops selling the H&R ones.

A couple of questions, if I may:

- Have you had any issues with the H&R spacers since fitting them?
- Would you mind confirming that these are the ones you have - https://www.carnoisseur.com/products...iABEgJs3PD_BwE

Thanks for your help,
