Yes you're right Jamo but.....Originally posted by Jamo View Post
To skim down 1.6mm from the centre bore would not be such a big deal, eventually the other five holes are the important ones.
I've done already the skimming on a 964 wheel that I found for a very good price and it took twenty secs with the right machinery (an enourmous lathe made in England
)
Personally speaking I believe it's easyer to get that job done on a Porsche spacer (plenty everywhere) then find a company that makes a spacer 5X130 with a 73.1mm centre bore..... any normal size lathe and few minutes will do.....

The RS2 centre bore is bigger than the Porsche so you cant skim down 1.6mm you would need to make it 1.6mm bigger!Comment

Widen out the spacer and use a spigot ring on the wheel, however might be handy just get right ones made
thought you had S8 alloys and S2 hubs jamo....Comment

If you can get the spacer you want then I can enlarge them as aidens same as I did a exhaust sealent ring for him for the black golf under the covers there. Should not take to long to do as well, just as long as the spacers the size you want and stud pattern enlarging the center bore is not too bad.Comment

spigot ring, good shout, have to investigate thatOriginally posted by goodall View Post
However still have a problem. For those of you without RS2's the centre bore is not like an S2, it is 3 prongs like the porsche hubs
In all the porsche spacers I've seen these locate inside the spacers in 3 other prongs
Because the Rs2 is a bigger bore it will not fit inside this style of spacerLast edited by Jamo; 13 June 2010, 00:10.Comment

Spacers
I,ve done it the long way, removed hubs and machined down centre in a lathe to 71.4mm giving 0.2mm clearance, allows me to fit any porsche wheel, machined ally rings to sit inside the standard wheels although this does not seem to bother the wheels too much as the studs are in the hubs, HR do spacers which are very good but again porsche sizes, I'm assuming the wheels are porsche spec with the smaller centre bore, Its a pain to do, even more so at the rear with the handbrake and all so I'm going to do the poly bushes at the same time and perhape the ally subframe bushes as well as new wheel bearings

Just for future reference....
I was at dinner with Tom Saltinot in ingolstadt last sunday and he (correctly) say that hubs from Porsche 944/968 have the centre bore in the size of 73.1 mm.
Hence spacers for these Porsche models will fit RS2s without mods/machining.

Unfortunately they are mostly sold as non hubcentric spacers hence why I discounted themOriginally posted by veneto rs2 View Post
