Morning guys, looking for fitting advice on some wheel spacers I’ve just bought. They are 15mm eibach ones, to fit with my 19″ forged alloys. I’ve received them with 2 sets of nuts. I would imagine the shorter but bolts the spacer to the hub, torqued accordingly. But can the original wheel nut set not be used when fitting the wheel back on?

Afternoon mate!! I’ve got H & R 15mm Spacers and used the original Wheel Nuts. The only reason I can think for them to supply separate Wheel Nuts would be if the threads on your Spacers are different to standard?? Can you take a Wheel nut off and try it on the Spacer??

Yeah, bolt the spacers to the Hubs with the small nuts and torque to 100 Ft/lbs, then fit wheels and torque to 100 Ft/lbs also.

Cheers, Marc.

Hi Marc,

Yeh I found the original wheel nuts fit the threads on the spacers, so I used them as I knew they were the right taper for the wheels. All fitted and torqued with no issues on my lunch break.

Didnt realise how much difference they were going to make, just need to stay away from those kerbs now..?
