Just a quick one before i hit the sack!

anyone had any exsperience with wheel "wobble" caused by universal alloy spacers?!

What are the best spacers to use with the coupe? and where can i buy them?? ( NOT UNIVERSAL's )

any help will be great, will add to this post in the morning with the make of my alloys and depth of spacer needed!

cheers

Barbz at torque italia sells 5 10 and 15mm spacers. I got some novitech ones from deamon tweeks for about 30 quid (2)

Motech in Northampton do Momo spacer.

the wobble is because the wheel is not quite centre. If you pop the cap off on the centre of the hub, you will see the wheel bore is not even all the way round. Jack the car up, loosen the bolts, try and get it even all the way round, tighten the bolts up and you will have a lot less wobble

www.wheelspacers.co.uk i got mine from!

A pic of my MOMO spacer. Its a biggie and you will need really long studs but MOMO make them specially for the Coupe so good enough for me.

MOMO spacer

Motech dont do them for the coupe....
torque italia dont do spacers any more ( lack of demand! )

was going insane until......

the nuts! will be with me sat morning!! will let ya know how they go

No you dont, but Fiat fitment is pretty much the same, all 4 x 98mm pcd and a 58.1mm central bore

someone told me spacers knock out wheel bearings on the coupe..true or not true???

The spacers you want to go for are called "Hubcentric", personally I wouldn't use the cheap universal ones.
They can be a pain if not put centrally, loads of wobble and vibration.
Remember aswell you might need spigot rings for your aftermarket wheels aswell.
Hope this is of help.

I have got Universal ones at the moment and i can honestly say that they scare the s**t out of me... between about 50 and 90 the steering vibrates like a bar"""d after that it does seem to calm down until you get to about 120 then it starts again!

have honestly considered swapping my "after markets" for ths standard wheels because it is soooo bad!

would def recommend getting the propper Coupe one's!

Tony - your right its not on there site, but i gave them a ring and they go 5mm and 15mm kits... i need about 11mm to clear my brembos so 15 should suit me fine!

also watch out as you may need longer nuts... but be V carefull when screwing them in as i have heard reports of people cracking "stuff" that is behind the hub...

*stuff = sorry cant remember what this was... might of been ABS thingy!

if they are any good i will let you know!!!

p.s. they was £30 plus delivery for two!

£30 for a pair of hubcentric spacers sounds good.
Dave

what the use of installing these spacers ?

To enable you to fit various aftermarket wheels whilst giving clearance over the Brembo brakes on a 20vt.

oh , thanks , didn't occur to me , though that it was
a handling mod.

cheers.

pistole, it is if you have std alloys, some people swear by fitting 10mm spacers to improve the turn in etc....

I have 10mm spacers on my Coupe with std wheels and it does improve the handling, making it turn in much better!

Max

Do the std bolts fit with the 10mm hubcentrics?

You will have to use longer bolts as the original bolts will only have a couple of threads sticking out of the wheel.
