Looking for rear wheel spacers for my focus
any ideas

 

What size?

Do you actually need to space it right out, in which case the studs wont have enough purchase or is it just a 3mm oir 5mm shim you need?

Halfords sell the shims, as do most car accessory places.

 

What wheels are you trying to fit... R.S ?

 

Im using focus rs wheels its a focus rs shell with 2wd saphire cossie running gear but the rear wheels are sitting in about 3n half inch
Because the wheel arches are wider than a normal focus.
I will need to got some sort of spacer that bolts to the hub then the wheel bolts to them if there is such a thing & hope it dosent cause too much vibration

 

All the hard work is done with my car ist the stupid little things like this thats
the prob my mate charlie has a focus 4wd cossie his is a track car tho so he
isnt as fussy as me with detail a would like the rear wheels sitting as near as

 

You'll need these, they aren't cheap though, I can't see the price here.

DRM type go 40 to 90 mm

How far are you spacing out?

 

Thnx mate they look like just the chappy
Im not sure exactly how much a need to space it as yet
hopefully next week the car will be back on the ground
getting a wiring loom made n a will put the coilovers right
down n measure exactly so a know where theyre going to
scrub

 

The best way to check for clearance in the arch is to take the spring off the coilover, and jack up the suspension through full travel of the shock.

I've got a solid axle in my rear and it was suprising how much clearance I needed with one side up and the other down.

I've got RS wheels but in a standard Focus shell, its a close fit, but it does clear.

I've spent hours on the stupid little things, they just go on forever, you do one thing and that affects something else.

I'm trying to get brake lines onto the axle at the moment.

 

I know what you mean mate there is loadz small snags
Im getting there slowly
Im using the saph rear axle n as far as i know andy the lad
thats building the car he hasnt had any bother with rear brake pipes.
Still stuck for a carpet to fit over the tunnel
& god only knows how am going to get it through emmision tests
as its still level 6 swd ecu with no cat
We will worry about that when it comes to it
What is the engine out of thats in your car??
Is it going to be a road car or for track use?
What bhp

 

I sell them

Can do custom made ones to any size from 5-100mm each

to you when the car is back on the deck so a get the exact size
