WillyP Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 So got some mini pepper pots but bore is 57.1 where as vw is 56.1 so instead of taking the .5mm off the alloy I want to keep them standard, what would be best way to take the .5mm of the spacer, can't really spend any more money getting then lathed. So DIY tips please, I understand some people have ran these wheels before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckland Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's a lengthy process but sand the spacer down .5mm isn't drastic, Don't sand one spot do a semi circle at a time and test fit regularly so you don't take too much off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyP Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Cheers, you have a set then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckland Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I did a set a while ago Using a sander is a bit easier but Also a lot easier to misshape the spacer You could always get a friend to hold a sander and you rotate the spacer so there's no flat spots And again check fitment after ever other rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
