Quick spacer question

Amoeba · 7 Apr 2011 at 20:55

Are wheel spacers measured by total track increase or per wheel? I always assumed the latter but have seen something now which makes me think I am wrong...

normally a per wheel measurement,

spacers i have on the LCR are 5mm a side and stated so on the packing.

Are they slip ons? I need some hubcentrics but can't seem to find anything less than 15mm

There is a minimum width (a little over the width of the existing spigot on the hub) below which you you simply can't make a spacer hubcentric. However 15mm shouldn't be a problem for most cars, have you looked here?

My wheels have a larger hub size than the car does so there wouldn't be a problem with a smaller spacer.

Think I will just get a pair knocked up at a machine shop to my exact spec.
