Wheel Spacers

theres another set on ebay but no bolts so fairly useless

they're £66 new from either jimny bits or bits4vits

Well I finally went for the grayston spacers, look like a sturdy bit of kit, thanks for all your help, can anyone tell me how tight the lug extenders need to be, I am using a ring spanner to align them up, as my torque wrench doesn't fit them.

Cheers.

Id get a socket to fit your torque wrench, tighten them to the spec stated on the instructions, then tweak them accordingly to align them.

Hi Carrow
the technique is to "tighten" them using the spanner (applying bit of arm pressure - but not forcing it), then you'll need a final tweek to align them so the castings will slide over - involves tapping the spanner with an hammer

Cheers thanks for all your help.

Sorry mate :dry:

Hi,
Finaly got round to fitting the spacers to-day, I torqued them to 70ft/per lb as per intructions, but found I had to undo them (tweek) them to final position, one of the lug extenders is only nipped up to get it to align, other wise I have to over tighten it past 90ft/lb, will this be ok.

Spacers are Grayston 32mm

one of the lug extenders is only nipped up

personally, I'd have thought it'd be OK as long as it is actually nipped.
It's not going to loosen - because the casting spacer ring won't let it.

but don't take my word for it, let's see what others have to say about

Don't know what torque is on mine, but is probably HIGH as mine were tapped on with the hammer :pinch:

Should be. As a precaution you could orientate the spacer over that nut so that it has one of the hexaganol holes over it rather than the larger slotted hole. That way it is held in place firmly by the spacer on all six sides of the extender nut.

I hope that makes sense.

I took my spacers off at Briercliffe this weekend as my wheels were making contact with the front bumper. I may sell them yet or trim the bumper. A bit undecided. Hmmmm :dry:

Trim the bumper bud
I have a massive blood blister from fitting mine saturday ....as my dad would say "dont put your fingers where you wouldnt put your c#*k "

:laugh: :laugh: stop biting your nails then Reaper.

put a bumper like Monkey's on

I like that bumper. Could be the way forward.
