Guys, Am in need of hubcentric wheel spacers, ideally as close to 6mm as possible. Can be 7, 8, 9 or 10mm but ideally HAS to be hubcentric. I know there are plenty available that arent hubcentric, im guessing they need to be a certain minimum thickness? its for a 4x100 mk2 golf fitment. Can you let me know options? Cheers
I've never seen hubcentric spacers that thin before, the thinnest I've seen is 10mm which I think H&R do. Are these for the front or rear?
Thats what I was thinking. I know 15mm hubcentric spacers fit over the front centre hub but I'm pretty sure the rear centre hub sticks out more than 15mm so you'll have to go thicker, at least thats what I found on mine.
even 10mm hub-centric spacers are too small to fit, the hub in the middle just sticks out too far, ask me how I know up to 10mm non hub-centric spacers are fine, as long as enough of the hub sticks out to allow the wheel to centre, its all good
^^ FK did do some, but the centre ring hangs on to the spacer by hardly any metal. Without 10mm non-cetnrics, as soon as you're off the hub centre ring, it's technically impossible to centre some alloys, due to the shamfering of the inner most edge of the centre bore
yeah i got fk ones, they dont fit the front or rear. yeah basically as said, as long as the wheel does centre on the hub then its all good. Rears you can get away with thicker spacers as you got a deeper hub for the wheel bearing, that being said the 10mm ones i had were fine on the front and rear iirc.
FK were 100% fine on a Mk1 (but Rich is obviously interested in Mk2, not that I'm aware of any diffs).
mine were on a mk2, unless you had a slightly different model to me? were you trying yours on the rear, maybe difference is on drums the hub lip is small enough where on discs its much deeper?
I'll try em on my mk1 cabby one day, I know they didnt fit on my mk2. I have 256 front brakes if that makes any difference
100% certain they wouldn't fit the rear on a Mk2, I tried 15mm on the rear and it still wasn't enough, had to have 20mm in the end to fit over the hub correctly.
mine are FK009 10Z, and the mounting depth is only 5mm! I got 16mm spacers on the back o my GTI, trouble is they were too big and my rear arches screamed in pain 10mm non hub centric and falken ZE512 tires sorted it
ummmm...might sound silly....but whats the difference between hubcentric and non hubcentril spacers???
It refers to the way the wheel is centred on the hub. On MK2s we have hub-centric wheels, meaning there is a lip on the hub which the wheel centres on. Some other cars are lug centric, which means the wheel centres on the bolts or studs that hold the wheel on. For spacers, hub centric means the spacer has a hub on it for the wheel to centre on, non-hub centric spacers are flat, and are either used on lug-centric cars, or rely on enough of the hub lip sticking past the spacer for the wheel to centre on
