Wheel spacer / bolts question …

Sorry another question for you knowledgeable lot

Want to put a 5mm spacer on the front … understand you can’t get a hubcentric one due to the size . I have a universal 5mm ones sat here that line up with my bolt pattern . Can I use the standard bolts on a 5mm spacer ? And if I cant can I use the bolts from the 12-15mm spacers I have ? Will the longer bolts protrude out the back of the hub and cause an issue ?

Thank you and as always appreciate feed back and help :thumbsup:

You can get hub centric 5mm spacers, I'm sure H&R do them. Its the bolt to hub style you're likely thinking of.

For wheel bolts, lots of sizes available. I would personally just buy one approx 5mm longer to be safe.

I wouldn't even think about fitting any spacers that weren't hub-centric.

And wouldn't dream of using standard bolts on 5mm spacers - they don't go in far without spacers! :o

I'm pretty sure most longer length bolts are available to suit the size of spacer, and AFAIK bolt lengths need to match spacer sizes to avoid fouling.

All sorted. :thumbsup:

5mm spacer on the front which aren’t hubcentric but enough of the hub still protrudes to allow for correct wheel fitment . I just cut down the longer bolts I had to 30mm to suit . 12mm rear hubcentric spacers and correct length bolts used . All works fine , no vibrations and looks so much better for it :driving:
