HiSpec Brakes on the 5-spoke wheels

[S2central.net]

TomC or anybody else -

Can you please advise a reputable source of wheel spacers and bolts that work with the HiSpec calipers on the old 5-spokers ?

Was thinking ECP unless someone else has a better/cheaper suggestion.

Was that a 3 or 5mm spacer needed ?

Cheers,

Paul

I'm pretty sure Tom used 5mm speacers and had them made somewhere. I guess he'll confirn this.

Have you tried www.trackstore.co.uk/customspacers.html they have spacers listed for 5 x 112 Audis (although there is a mistake on the site as it says 5 x 100 but they are for A6, A8 100s etc) but are only 15mm.
They may be able to supply a set of 5mm if you ask. Pretty cheap too

Hello there!!

I needed a 5mm spacer. These were bought via demon *****, sorry tweeks. There were about 12 quid for the pair. There are universal ones and do give a slight wheel wobble. Not that bad.

I tried using the standard bolts but they only screwed in about 2 threads, not enough, so i bought some new bolts via DT again. These actually came direct from Grayson(?),the info is a work with regard to legth, i think they are 35mm long and not the standard 27mm long. These fit fine. Only prob is that they have 19mm hex and not 17mm.

BTW, what are you up to Mr N?

Cheers Tom - the enquiry isn't for my car... its on behalf of the owner of a certain S2 Avant without roof rails !

I've never really liked the thought of wheel spacers anyway - I keep telling the guy to get a set of RS2 look-a-like cup alloys

It has altered the handling. It now tram lines a lot more and i mean a lot. Some sections of the M1 in the inside lane are awful. But on a plus point it has improved grip when cornering. Tempted to put some 10mm spacers on back to make the back grip a bit more.
