T0NYVR6 2 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Brilliant, I'm hoping to pick them up this weekend Link to post Share on other sites
T0NYVR6 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well I bought them and the backs are on but the fronts are the wrong ET so I'm having to fit a 9.5mm spacer which means I need longer bolts:-( Just ordered a set of 35mm bolts from fleabay so should be sorted in a couple of days!

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 what wrong with the fronts ? are they catching the caliper then ? Link to post Share on other sites
T0NYVR6 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 yes quite badly as well without any spacers on, we tried a 3mm spacer first and it was still catching but the 9.5mm gives plenty of clearance but I have a feeling i'm going to have to change to stretched tyres on the front as well as the rears.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 yeah mine were doing that until I fired up the angle grinder ! yeah 10mm spacer on a 7.5 must push them out quite a way Link to post Share on other sites
T0NYVR6 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 hhhmmmmm angle grinder, now theres a thought. Only problem is the wheels are like brand new, I think I will wait and see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites

T0NYVR6 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 No sorry fella I wasnt being sarcastic what I meant was 'you really ground down your calipers. How much did you have to take off. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 ha ha okay cool ! yeah defo mine were catching on the edge of the caliper so I took maybe 2-3mm off the outer edge of the caliper to get them to clear ok - they have plenty of meat on them but obviously dont go crazy Link to post Share on other sites
