Any interest in a new group buy from Motorsports Tech? I spoke with Lenny today and he said $189 (+ shipping) for a complete set of Silver or Black. I think the target is 20 sets, but let's see what kind of response there is. Plenty of information on the forum - Carbon blades can do 15mm with no trimming of the studs, some wheels may require a few mm shaved to ensure no rubbing against the back of the wheel. From the information gleaned on the forum, 17MM fit everything with no modifications.

The last group buy thread is here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...pacers-194739/
Thanks.

1. gg2684 - 15 black

I want a set of 17mm! Black coated. What else do I need to do to join the list

 

I talked to him yesterday about this too!
Lol, was gonna order it it gets too late so I’m literally about to call him tomorrow but I’m guessing this is a steal I can’t miss.

Also, Motorsport tech told me that 17mm is everyone doing and he did a lot of em with no problem but I also see some people on the forum saying 17mm might scrape the tire. I have 19 inche and I think imma gonna trust him.

nothing right now, I’ll keep the list updated on my post and if we can get enough takers, we can get payment to Lenny and have them ordered. Thanks.

 

Funny, I was thinking I would get them as one of my fall-winter projects. The car is basically furniture from November to March. Hopefully we can get enough interest - and 17mm should work with any wheel
based on my research. The members here are super thorough and that is the consensus.

 

Put me down for a set

 

Nice - please list your size and color preference;
ill Add you to the list

lets keep it going!!

 

17mm spacers fit fine in the front with no issues. In my experience 17mm rubs in the rear, just barely, under heavy loading. I only noticed this on a cross country drive with the trunk packed with luggage. It was enough to make me swap the rear spacers our for a set of 15mm units, but not enough to cause tire damage.

If anyone needs a set of 17mm spacers for the fronts, I’ve got a spare set now.

 

Are you lowered or using larger than OEM rear tires?

 

Will you say 17mm front and 15mm back will be the best fits?

 

I assuming everything is OEM?

Really helpful experience tbh i was just thinking about lowered it a little bit but instead of sitting lower I’d go with wider in F type. It looks good enough for me if it sits wide enough because I know how painful to drive a really low car lol.

 

Warning: Even the 15mm adapters create an issue if you upsize to a 305 tire.

 

I keep everything stock. So I assuming if it’s stock tire&rims then should be no problem?

 

I have everything stock (suspension height and tire size) and no issues with the 17mm spacers. Track days included.

 

I'll go black and 17mm!

 

Yes.

 

OK so if I go for a set of these what is the best for gyrodyne 20" with OEM tires 255 front, 295 rear, anyone have these fitted and have pics, Lowering the car I would like to do but where i live would not be practical, does it look bad to have them pushed out and not lowered thats what concerns me, gg2684 What would shipment to Ireland be.

 

I didn't ask about overseas shipping, but I will try to call next week and see if he can provide general estimates. Of course you're welcomed to contact him to get a more precise estimate.

 

so went onto the webpage and international shipping cost shows $100

 

Having started with the Gyrodynes on my car, I would recommend the 15mm adpators if you stick with the OEM tire sizes. It will require that you grind 2-3mm off each of the wheel studs, but since there is at least 5mm of un-threaded shaft at the end of each stud, you wouldn't be grinding into any thread. Since you are in Ireland, I would recommend the SSC System 3 Adaptors: http://www.wheelspacers.uk.com/index...F-Type&typ=QQ6

I am quite satisfied with the quality of those adaptors. They are available in raw aluminium, as well as black and silver anodized.
