Tryed fitting my 16" and........

[GregseaVTR]

I tryed fitting my 16's today.... got all the front ones on and everything...and the back one's never fitted... with 5mm spacers??? smileys/smiley5.gif

Anyone know why this is still rubbing ( it's rubbing on the thingy that's going diaganol to the drum ) and how can i fix it???

And the front ones where fine untill i went to drive off and suddenly stoped... ( the bolts where too fu*king long and hit my break pads..... took ages fixing it.. that could have seriously messed my car up..

any idea's????????

thanx

[Dan]

is the car lowered? if so how much? also u sure u got the right offset? as i think it was dannsax who was sent the wrong offset from wolfrace!!

[Dave_J_UK]

Get shorter bolts!

[GregseaVTR]

nah deff the rite offset.... they came from a bloke i know (who's moved away now) he's got a saxo.. and they where on his fine.....

the car has not been lowered at all....

do VTR's and Furio's require the same offset??

any idea's? smileys/smiley5.gif

[GregseaVTR]

Dave_J_UK............

For the front..

what about the back?

[Dan]

yeah they will be the same offset!

[GregseaVTR]

I dont get it then??

Why aint they fitting on mine but did on his???

the front one's can be sorted just get smaller bolts and also.... can you have spacers on the front?

[GreenSaxo]

ok..

what wheels are they??

what offset are the wheels??

what is the width of the wheels??

what size tyres are on the wheels??

how did the bolts hit the brake pads??

^^ what he said?
obviously something not right there. Ive got 6mm spacers on the back of mine. They all good now.
Without the spacers, they rubbed on the arch inner.

there 195/45/16...

The front ones.... the bolts went straigt through the wheel and the car drum, and poked out the back a bit.. i didn't relise untill i accelerated... that can be solved i reckon by shorter bolts.. because nothing else rubbed... it was just sittng about 5mm away from a screw.. but doesn't touch on full lock or anything...

It's just the back.... i'll get the offset for you when i look at the wheels again there in the shed at the min.....

They came off a Saxo though so they have got to be the rite ones....

there 16" TSW apex

thats not good. not lowered and it still rubbin? so is it just them bolts that r the proslem on the front, but on the bak its rubbin on that pipe?
mines lowered 60mm n demon tweeks said they wud get 16's on no problem!

[GregseaVTR]

it dont rub on anything other than that ( diaganol thingy... ) i supose it would help more if i knew what it was called ... lol

just think i was gonna buy 17"s aswell... everyone i know has had hardly any prolems with 16" so i dont get it.... it must be somthing i'm doing wrong but i cant seem to get my head round it....

needs bigger spacers at the rears, the drums sit further in that discs

[reevesy_vtr]

smileys/banghead.gif smileys/banghead.gif smileys/banghead.gif smileys/banghead.gif fucking wheels i have had big prob with mine i have 16" wolfrace and thay just fit i had to use 20mm spacers on mine and it is close as fuck.

[SaxoAL]

when I had drums at the back. I had a 5/6mm spacer on there.. then when I went to discs at the back, they are alot more spaced outwards.

[GregseaVTR]

So i need 20mm spacers??? does this mean my wheels are going to stick out alot????

I am Sooooooo close to selling my saxo... it's just a bag of problems... smileys/smiley7.gif

[GregseaVTR]

also how much do 20mm spacers cost and where do i get them?

[Dan]

u can get spacers from most good car places,halford etc!!!
