Spacers on Track

I have 10mm hubcentric H&R Trak+ spacers on both Z4MC and Z3MC and driven hundreds of laps around The Ring with never an issue or even a thought that this might be unsafe/dangerous.

A look on the H&R website for this product here: http://www.trakplus.com/faq doesn't suggest any problem on track. The main thing is to use longer wheel bolts, which are properly torqued so that enough thread attaches to the hub. The spacer itself is just sandwiched between the wheel and the hub and isn't under load provided the hubcentric is a perfect fit to the wheel. Some wheels require a spigot ring to properly fit though: in the case of the Z3MC, the OEM rear wheels, only, require a spigot ring.

If you couldn't use spacers then nobody would be able to use KWV3 on track!


someone who knows his shizzle.

don't forget to keep the nuts Tq'd I'm aways amazed how loose they get after a track day!
+1 almost had a wheel fall off when leaving anglesey. Schoolboy :roll:
Always check your nuts boys :wink:
 
That's the number. Check them a few times during the day, particularly your left hand side for most tracks as it's the front left that takes most of the punishment.
Enjoy!
