Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

Heys guys,

I want to fit some wheel spacers to my rover 216... Is it possible. I will have to change the length of the studs right??? If so how>??


Cheers

Why do you want to fit spacers? They aren't necessary if you fit the correct offset wheels.

Cheers for your reply,
no there is no rubbing issues just wondering if there is a set out there that has spacers and longer studs, just the wheels i have now the bolts dont come all the way through. So it would solve both probs?

Any ideas?

Ive got a set of OMP 15mm hubcentric spacers. Brought them to use on my Chevette, but the centre bore is wrong

They're really high quality kit, not a cheap bodge. RRP is around £95!! Got no real use for them tbh, sell em for £45? Never been used, only trial fitted.

Not sure about extended studs, but try Demon Tweeks, or maybe some kit car places? Usually a good source of non-standard stuff.

Looking into getting some wheel spacers, just need some advice.
How big of a spacer can I run without needing longer studs? Also, where is the best source for longer studs if I need so?

5 or 6mm i would think is the most i would dare run. if you want bigger i would'nt bother extending the studs. go for hubcentric spacers, they dont tend to be cheap though. if you get some of these you can choose what stud pattern you want too. ford, jap whatever.

if your handy with the tape measure you could probably get your local engineering shop to make you some.

These are the ones fitted to our 216 GTi race car made by Super Forma. We run 20mm but they will make them in any size. Superb quality!
