Liam_D Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey guys really want to order some spacers for my Glanza ASAP but i have absoluty no idea which ones are the best or which ones i need to order. Think Hubcentrics are the best. What ones do you guys running? ThanksLiam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It really depends on the thickness of the spacers you want, if over about 5mm you either need extended studs in place of the standard ones or spacers which have studs set into them. In the case of the spacers with studs set into them these will need to be hubcentric if they bolt to the standard studs using normal nuts - if they use tapered nuts and tapered seats then they will centre like the wheels do so don't need to be hubcentric.Hubcentric wheels/ spacers are for older cars with flat bottom nuts on non tapered seats in the wheels which won't centre them, spigot rings in alloys are also pointless if the wheel nuts are tapered.The cheapest option is to fit longer wheel studs - which isn't a hard job with the right tools, then fit any old spacers with the right stud pattern which are readily available or you could even get a mchine shop to make them, the spacers with studs already fitted from the likes of H&R are bloody expensive.

WallaceGlanza Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The spacers really don't need to be complicated for instance these don't look great but they would do the job:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/wheel-spacers-4x...=item3a6918b36aThen just get some new studs to suit:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Wheel-Stu...=item564240ddadThe studs just knock out with a hammer then either use an air gun or battery impact gun to pull the new studs through using an old nut and some washers on the studs.It's maybe a bit more work but for less than 50 quid you'll have 4 spacers. This is basically what I did except I got the spacers machined for me so the centre bore is correct but even that doesn't really matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
