Wheel spacers...

[Julz]

Anyone any recommendations for wheel spacers and where to get at a reasonable price!? Now that Olive has been lowered the requirement for spacers screams out at me even more! Won’t be going more than 12mm, probably about 10mm. I know the sensible option is different wheels but I love my R105’s! I had H&R’s on my last mini and am tempted to go with them again but just wondered if anyone else has any recommendations!

TIA

I use Kavs you can get them from 1320 or orranje ;)

As long as you use a decent name brand then you shouldn't have any issue. Issues come from using the multifit rubbish from Halfords or the like. Might be an idea to get longer bolts at the same time I think with orranje you can select bolts while buying the spacers

As Mark has said as long as it’s a reputable brand you should be ok. If your going as big as 10mm I would also get done longer wheel bolts just to be on the safe side. R105s are a stunning wheel.

Yeah there is no question that I’ll be getting longer bolts! It’s funny how 10mm is considered wide when the ones I had on my last mini were over 20mm :lol:

My main query is just if anyone has any experience of any other brands other than H&R or Eibach! [emoji106][emoji2532]

Yes I have had experience with Eibach spacers on my R53. I didn’t have any issues with the spacers or the way the wheels fitted. The only thing I struggled to get was longer bolts in black but I got them after hunting about. I bought the spacers from Lohen (link https://www.lohen.co.uk/eibach-pro-spacers-gen2) and they sell the longer bolts too. I’ve only used 10mm spacers as I don’t think any bigger than that is safe. 10mm on the R53 brought the wheels to just about level with the wheel arch and with lowered springs I felt the R53 looked perfect.

The spacers on my R53 had to be bigger due to the Zeemax bodykit being on the fat side! :lol: I’ll only be getting hubcentric ones anyway! [emoji16]

I’ve used TPI spacers and bolts on my TT’s in the past, lightweight, black in colour, hub centric and longer bolts with locking bolts as well, not cheap though

I used 13mm spacers in the past with my R95s and I had to get rid of them - they absolutely ruined the ride quality. OEM wheels are heavy anyway (especially 18" ones), couple that with the weight of the spacers, plus the biggest effect of moving that weight further out from the suspension pivot and I found that the suspension just couldn't cope and lost all wheel control
