Does anyone know of any UK supplier of these types of spacer? Universal ones make locating the wheels/bolts difficult. From what I understand, hub centric ones solve this problem, but would they be too wide? - only thinking about 5-6mm spacing!

Cheers,

Yes they would be too wide , you have to make them wide enough so the locator fits inside the spacer , then you machine the outside of the spacer with a locator , as this is longer that the spacing you want it would not work

Cheers for the info Ian. I don't suppose you know if you can get spacers that are secured to the hub 1st (with countersunk bolts) thus allowing you to mount the wheel as normal?

By doing that you would bring the disc out also , it then wouldn't sit in the middle of the calipers.

I can make some spacers that are a perfect fit over the studs and centre ring , they wont move about at all , but they have to go on after the disc

i did actually mean after the disc - so thatworks out fine. i don't need them just yet and may not depending on what wheel i go for, but i am just doing my research early. if you don't mind, i'd like to keep you as a contact in case i need some spacers making up - them i guess we can talk money.

just some back ground info for ya - and it may be me confusing the offset issue. i may be purchasing a set of wheels in the not too distant future that come in et43 & et48 offset. the depth of the centre will probably differ depending on the offset i go for. I have the 4-pot calipers and my et45 Khans only just clear the caliper by what seems like a sheet of paper's width.

i am assuming the et43 woffset will have a deeper centre (desired) so i am considering 5mm spaces to clear the caliper, but as you pointed out i don't want any movement/vibration. plus i'd have the benefit if a wider track.

Ta,

Kevin

No problem , the different wheels may give you more clearence because of the spoke design , even thought the ET is the same , if you go for the lower number ET this will bring the wheels out more so will give more room

Drop me a line if you want any help

that's exactly what I was thinking - but thought I may have had it *rse about face. Cheers for that Ian.
