Default Front wheel spacers

Does anyone know of some front wheel spacers that will work for our car? I tried getting a few pairs that match the center bore but nothing will clear the dang grease cap. If anyone has some brands let me know. Best,
aj Barbier.

You asked the same question in October and January, and there are many more threads on this subject. Surely you can find a solution to your question on here somewhere. The answer was given and you ignored or missed it. The bore has to be lengthened to clear the grease cap.
I think you should save your money, new spacers and new bolts ain’t coming cheap. Spacers are not really mechanically sound, just hope the bolts are tightened or you may be in dire trouble.
You may notice 10mm or so but let’s face it nobody else will.

Alright 180, I was just wondering because I had not been able to find a specific answer on the hubcentric rings. Talked to a guy a while ago but never got back to me.

You must use hub centric spacers, 66.6 inside diameter, they must clear the grease cover and the bolt pattern must match the hubs.
I was going to do a drawing similar to the one by James1549 but never got around to it.
The minimum spacer thickness is 10 or 12mm, I cannot remember which.
The inside bore must be the length of the hub location diameter plus clearance for the grease cover plus a thickness where the 66.6 ID transitions to 66.6 OD. I’d guess this should be about 3 to 4mm.

EZAcessory is where I got the 10mm hubcentric that I am using on my NA with SRT wheels, this is due to the 345mm calipers. Not sure if the SRT front hub is different.

I laugh when I see the word billet in the description of parts for sale, as if it added to its quality.
I just means it was machined from a block of material.

Hey DHS, just wanted to clarify. You’re saying they work for front spacers correct? Just want to make sure before I place my order

Yes this what I have on the NA using SRT wheels they have the hub centric you need. Remember you MUST use longer 50mm bolts.

Try removing the grease caps putting on wheels and spacers then reinstall grease cap. I found some 15mm for front and 20mm for back on the internet years ago and have been riding on them since 2013.
