How do I determine what size hub centric spacers to use?
Thanks.

James Bailey

Should be 71.6 mm hub ...

IrishLegend

Inner or Outer diameter? I found 71.5?

If it is for "PORSCHE" then it will work. All hub centric spacers for Porsche are the same...so if it say they work for Porsche I would guess you are good to go...

Cool...I found some on ebay for $5!

Thanks James.

Be VERY careful when buying spacers. If they are $5 there is a reason they're $5????

I learned my lesson on bargin brand hub centric spacers after buying a set of "bargin" spacers on ebay a few years ago. After they worked themselves loose for the second time (thankfully the wheel didn't fall off.....) I threw them in the trash and bought a good set. I have used H&R on several different cars and currently have them on two AMG cars and am putting a set on my GTS.

This is something you don't do on the cheap as there is too much at risk. Just my .02.......

Chuck, I was talking about the hub centric rings.

With regard to the stud-and-nut type, and the protruding (existing) wheel studs. I found that if the spacer width was 30mm or above, the body of the spacer was thick enough to "absorb" the protruding studs and the wheel would mount cleanly. Under 30mm, not so.

This is with 7J OEM phone dials on the rear of a 79. And yes, you can widen the track of an OB with those wheels with no rubbing or modifications to bodywork. Looks awesome too.

Thanks Joel.

I use the 19mm or so spacers. they house the stock S4 bolts and nuts, but they protrude. they are absorbed into the wheel pockets fine. BUT, that depends on the wheel I guess.
