Hakster Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've had a bit of a nightmare with these wheels, first attempt at fitting and I ruined one of the adapters, next attempt and I realised the extended bolts were too long with the 15mm spacers, attempt number 3 today and not only are the standard bolts too long when mounting the wheels to the adapters but I've also shredded one of the rear bolt holes on the hub!I really give up on these.How do I now go about fixing this shredded bolt hole? It's on the rear hub so do I just replace the cover? Any help would be extremely grateful.If anyone wants to give these wheels a go, PM me, they have tyres on now too.

HakanI've threaded a bolt on the rear hub too mate so share your pain. New hubs are about £70-80 so not the end of the world.Have you tried measuring the bolts and adapters up off the car? Push the bolt through the hole in the wheel then see how far it sticks out the back with the spacer next to it. I can't imagine theyre too much longer.

Hakster Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Excuse the extremely dirty car, I have just spent a good couple of hours putting the wheels on making sure to be very careful not to shred any hubs this time So here she is:They're growing on me, not sure if they entirely work. I still have to sort out the ride hight (will need to camber the front slightly), I'd like it a little lower.Let me know your thoughts.Hakan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
