Whats a normal spacer?
I assume the bolt on jobbys are legal up to 25mm? or do they look at it case by case?

Wheel spacers are only legal if certified, the standard for which I believe allows 20mm maximum width. They also must attach securely to either the hub or wheel, so that means bolt-on spacers rather than slip-on spacers (which is what Born_disturbed meant by "normal" spacers).

can be up to 27mm if its a hub adaptor, so 4x100 to 4x114.3 adaptor.

Doh. The RPF1 wheels I just ordered clip the front calipers I'm planning to install. I guess I'll be buying some spacers off you when I get around to installing everything and know how much I need to space - looking at 5mm for now. I guess another thing to lump into the eventual cert

yea they have to be hubcentric bolt to hub type to even get looked at for cert, and the slide over stud ones are dodgy as f**k tbh

what sort of prices?

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:53 pm

This guy has made one post on the forum and never followed it up. he's dodgy as..... would go to a reputable manufacturer rather than emailing the address above....

and I wouldnt run slip on spacers.

I've got 25mm bolt on adaptors, which can actually be certed.

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:53 pm

I was having the same thoughts today. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I think is need a 10mm spacer max but I won't know until the wheels are on

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:52 pm

you wont generally find bolt on spacers at less than 15mm. and if you are buying 15mm bolt ons you'll need to make sure your wheels have gaps in the back for the studs to sit in, as only a 25mm clears the stud and nut entirely.

What are the specs on your wheels?

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 9:38 pm

Not sure tbh. They're these ones http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Pe ... -0133.html

Apparently I can upgrade my front rotors to 11" and get a new bracket for the caliper to mount to, or I could use a spacer. I like option 2... I guess i'll look more into it when the wheels arrive but simple is good. So with spacers, do they cause problems as they reduce the amount thread the wheel nuts connect onto?

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 9:54 pm

Oh bro. they're 15x7 +41's

Run a 20 - 25mm spacer and they'll be FINE. will clear your new brakes piece of wheels and will make the car look way staunch
you prob wont even need to roll guards depending on what tyres you run. get amongst it mate!

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 10:27 pm

See, people need to tell me these things

I just wanted them for weight savings, 15" sizing and allowing better tyre choice. Oh and they look awesome!

Did you order RPF1s with 35 or 41 offset? I have 35s and they have enough thread (just)...put spacers on and you will need long wheel studs, open wheel nuts and a supply of wheell bearings to replace yours possibly on a regular basis. It is well known/advertised that RPF1s will not fit over many aftermarket big brake kits...let me know if you want me to take your RPF1s off your hands (I need spares) and then you can order 949 wheels in outrageous sizes! lol Ian

sorry, off topic a bit...

Does anyone know what hubcentric rings will fit our mx5? 66.1 or 67.1?

Thanks

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:01 pm

54? http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Pe ... -0133.html is what I base that number from

Thats great, thanks for that

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 5:49 pm

54.1 to be fair

35 or 41 offset won't generally change how much thread you have left on the studs FYI unless you have changed the 'effective' offset by running slip-on spacers.

41. I think i'll change my FM LBBK to run on 11" rotors... Ah well, we'll sort it all out when everything gets here
