Hi guys.

I hope that some of you can help me . I have just fitted a 362 AP brake kit to my escos and my wheels are the AZEV type A 8,5x18 ET18, I was told when i bougt the brake kit that they would fit right on my car, but they dont, they are 14mm off. Now my question: Does there exist any kind of spacers and longer studs that are any good, so the driveabillity is not compromiced? 14mm is a huge spacer, or not???

Please help me

The best possible spacer would be HUBCENTRIC, they do solid cast spacers with all the trimmings, such as longer stud etc etc.

i have a set of 4 hubcentric spacers, made by eibach

they are for sale if you interested?

25mm thick

 

Hi Andy. Thanks but thats a little to wide.

 

Oops hva Jens.. Den var da en kedeligt oplevelse Det er godt nok osse et fyldigt bremsekit.

Har du rykket bremsekittet af igen sĺ, eller havde du andre hjul at montere??

 

Hej Jan.
nej bilen křre ikke om vinteren, men jeg skal da have fundet en lřsning pĺ problemet, hvis de kloge hoveder ikke mener at jeg skal křre med 20MM spacers i, jamen sĺ er jeg jo nřd til at ja mĺske křbe nogle nye fćlge. Men det ville jo vćre rigtig ćrgeligt for det er jo de fćlge jeg vil have ogsĺ er de kun knap et halv ĺr gamle. Hvis du evt kender en der er interesseret sĺ mĺ du endelig sige til .

MVH.

What offset are the AZEVs, as I think you will struggle with arch clearance with 20mm spacers. The AZEVs are rubbish for clearance, and won't even clear 330 4-pots without spacers!

 

we had 356 ap 6pots with cp5555 calipers and avez A et 18 with no issues only moving balance weights close but was fine was a reyland/rainbird kit aswell no spacers whatsoever needed

 

Mike the ofset is ET18, but my mesure was wrong it is only 14mm on each side. Do you think that the arch clearence will be ok with 14mm spacers??

 

Uha... kender kun nogen (som er vilde med den fćlg) som SLET ikke kan presse dem ind under skrćmkanten surt. Og sĺ er jeg MEGET syg med den fćlg.. men er selv ved at křbe store bremser og vil ikke tage chancen hehe.
Der skal nok komme nogle gode rĺd herfra, thats for sure!! Og de er allerede igang og skaber tvivl

 

I think you will struggle, depending on ride height. To get an idea, why not space the wheel out 14mm with some washers and see where it sits?

 

ET18 wheels with a 14mm spacer would make them ET4 can't be good for the bearings?

 

14mm spacers on those wheels will not work unless you want to widen the wings You could space everything inwards with new bells and rose jointed track rod ends but you will still be in trouble.

Simple fix.. Change the wheels to the new 8.5" ET18 MO, they will fit then.
