tires and wheels Wheel Spacers/tii front calipers/factory alloy 13 wheels

[Timo02]

Hi,

Does anybody know where I can get a pair of front wheel spacers "off the shelf" so to speak? These spacers fit between the wheel and the hub. I am having some "new" rebuilt tii calipers installed and they won't clear the wheel like the old ones did. There already were spacers and tii calipers on the car however evidently the "new" tii calipers won't fit without rubbing the inner wheel.

The facts:

The car is running with 13" "turbo" style (aka old style "bottle tops") factory alloy wheels made by Mahle. tii front struts, '77 320i vented rotors, this is the old style classic big brake up grade using tii front struts. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

oh, with the Turbo spacers in the calipers?

Bildon Motorsports makes some nice hubcentric ones for as cheap

as I've found them. You might end up needing longer studs...

hth,

Hi Toby,

Thanks for the tip. Do you mean the Bildon Motorsports that sells VW performance parts (http://www.bildon.com/) ? Thanks again!

I got a couple of spacers from Dave - they were 2 or 3 mm thick. He's got different sizes in aluminum. Don't know about hub-centric. You'll have to determine your stud length with the spacer you chose. I don't know what size spacer you'll need to solve your problem.

Yep, it's the VW guys.

Ireland and others sell 'em too.

I couldn't find anyone locally...
