Default Anyone running 20mm spacers?

Yup usual numpty question, but interested in any issues running these front and rear?

It'll be hub centric, proper jobbies, bolted to the hubs, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I would avoid if you can - change wheel offset is a better solution.

If done correctly then it should be ok , it may put some extra strain on the bearings , if your fitting them to correct a wrong offset wheel , then it would put no more strain than a wheel with more offset.

When I built my M3 rally car , I made the bells on the discs about 30mm thicker than I normally would , as it had a PCD adapter and wheel spacer included , and had no issues with it at all.

I machined 5 holes on a 5 x 120 PCD to bolt the bells to the M3 hubs , and machined another 5 holes on a 5 x 100 pcd and pressed longer wheel studs in to fit the Impreza PFF wheels

These are the fronts




On the rears I made spacers as I was using a standard one piece disc



If you use a proper hub centric one you should have no problems running it , my wheels never fell off lol




Cheers Ian
