Wheel spacers

Post by hot66 »

Anyone know who makes the best bolt on 15mm wheel spacers that are TUV approved? I can find some decent looking ones at FVD ?

The Porsche approved TUV ones that have been on the 964 for around 20 years have started to crack :(

Bolt on only as don't want the slide on ones that require longer studs

H&R, Eibach, etc all do the bolt-on type too ...

not at 15mm though if you read the descriptions ... which is leading me to think maybe 15mm is too thin for the bolt on style. My existing ones have started to crack between the bolt holes.

I'm thinking I might go down the route of H&R etc and use the longer studs

Thanks Andy :) Proper H&R ones too so you'd have thought safe and approved

I wonder why they dont seem available in the UK ?

I had a pair Albert Racing bolt adapters years ago. They were TUV approved and I purchased from Elfershop in Germany.

Not sure where you would get them these days.

think i've got to the bottom of it : For some reason H&R specify bolt on for 993 & not for 964 ?? Not sure why. maybe its a cup wheel thing & D90's dont work with the spacers?

Wheel spacers

Post by hot66 »

Just picked up my old spacers Image

Cracking all the way around . That line going around between the holes is a crack , not dirt! Both sides of the car had cracked
Decided my next set will be slide on with longer studs fitted.

Car looks crap without the spacers and doesn't drive as I like either

Frightening. Good spot to find this before a wheel exited stage left at an inappropriate moment!
