clifton 0 Posted January 30, 2007 i have some o.z superleggeras and on the rim it says 'et37' so what spacers do i need for them to fit onto my 1.6? and will i be able to use standard 1.6 wheel bolts or will i need bigger ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted January 30, 2007 1.9 wheels use a 19mm ET, so somewhere around the 20mm so best to go for hubcentric, and yes you will need longer bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clifton 0 Posted January 30, 2007 ok i will get some 195/50's then! what will the full number be then if my tyres are 15inch tall by 7 inch? and i may have to just get some cheap ones as i cant find any of the hubcentric ones anywhere? also does anyone know where i can get longer wheel bolts from? sorry about the sh!!ty questions cheers ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted January 31, 2007 Ben, your car is a 1.6 GTi so you will need different spacers to what have been mentioned so far afaik. The wheels for the 1.6 are et 25 so you will need approx 12mm spacers. There is a place in Cleckheaton that should be able to help out with the spacers & longer wheels bolts, I did a couple of stud conversion group buys though them a couple of years ago. http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.uk/ Graham.

clifton 0 Posted January 31, 2007 are these hubcentric spacers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted January 31, 2007 yes, you can see the shoulder that the wheel sits on, they will have a recess on the back to sit on the hub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 31, 2007 Yes they are, but look more like the kind that get bolted the hub, then the wheel gets bolted to the spacer, so no need for longer bolts. The corect ones should be supplied with the kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
