Wheel Spacers
This morning received my 30mm wheel spacers from Maugene Engineering in Pretoria.
Still figuring out exactly how I am going to attach it. I am guessing that it will bolt to the hub using the existing nuts. The wheels will bolt to the spacer using bolts (not my favourite method).

Re: Wheel Spacers
Yip, that's how mine are done (hub to spacer, spacer to wheel). Just make sure everything is nice and tight and check them occasionally for cracks.
If I may ask, are they Alu or steel? and cost?

Re: Wheel Spacers
They are steel, and I paid R320 (excl VAT) each.
I am thinking Red Loctite for the spacer to hub?

Re: Wheel Spacers
I've never used because the face of the rim will prevent the nuts from coming off. Then again it can't hurt....
Also make sure that the studs you use are long enough once they're pressed into the spacer. I had a colleague lose a back wheel on route to Moz because there wasn't enough enough thread exposed for the nuts...

Re: Wheel Spacers
Dit lyk vir my na n netjies werk wat hulle gedoen het. Is dit moontlik dat ek dalk die nr van daardie plek kan kry wat hulle vervaardig het.

Re: Wheel Spacers
Andre, al wat hulle doen is hulle skuif die wiel 30mm verder uit sodat daai 265 bande niks skuur of skaaf nie.

Re: Wheel Spacers
Dis seker net ek, maar ek raak altyd kriewelrig as die manne begin praat van spacers op wiele. Hoe veilig is dit regtig...???

Re: Wheel Spacers
Die spacer bout vas aan die hub met die gewone wielmoere. Hulle pas in die groot gate. Dan vat jy gewone wielboute en jy bout die rim aan die spacer vas. Ek sal rooi loctite gebruik op die oorspronlike moere.
Ek is nou al vir hele paar jaar aan die parte kant van die motorbedryf asook die goedkeuring van parte. En is heeltemal tevrede met die veiligheid asook betroubaarheid van hierdie spacer. Ek gaan eFfektief my offset verander van 0 tot +30. Meeste deep dish mags verander dit na +40 en +50. Op +40 sal jou wielbearings se lewensverwagting met so 2% verminder word.
Ps. Ek gaan net die spacers gebruik as die 265's skuur. As nie, dan verkoop. Ek hulle. Ek het eerder die spacers beskikbaar as om hulle te moet bestel en dan twee weke rond te ry met bande wat heeltyd skuur.

Re: Wheel Spacers
Hier is twee foto's wat wys hoe die spacer aan 'n rim vasbout.
Dit gee die perspektief vanaf die binnekant, asook vanaf die buitekant.

Re: Wheel Spacers
En as die 265's nie skuur nie dan sit ek hulle op die mark, of ek sit hulle op die rak.
