I have a bit of a rubbing issue that needs to be resolved with some wheels that have slightly less offset than I need on the rear of the MK1.

I need 2 for the rear and now realise that i need 2 for the front to clear the brake caliper.

About 5 - 7 mm should get me to the point where I can run without rubbing on the springs.

Anyone got something that they care to offload, sort of quickly in Sydney?

I spose then I will probably need longer bolts too...

I am hopeless at math, I should have worked this out before... :(

I prefer hub centric. I was not aware you could get them so easily but will most likely get some autopro ones in the mean time until what I want comes up.

I got some spacers, not hub centric, still wanting 8-10mm pair and a 5mm pair.

Cheers.

Hi Alex,

I will get in touch with you about this - I think that I will take you up on it.

So I would require longer hub to axle bolts for assembly I'm assuming?

Thanks for the offer!

Mik use what Al is saying, I'm running them on the mk1 and they are more safer than a hubcentric spacer!!!

lol. more safer

if you have clearance issues with brakes, then stub axle spacing wont do much. stub axle spacers are more for 'less-illegal' rear track widening and suspension strut clearance.

The fact is that you aren't putting any pressure on the wheel bearings!

And why would it give you brake clearances for mk1s with drum brakes?
