Lookin to get some spacers for the wheels. I have OEM Turbo Twists (18"). What size spacers should I consider for them. Now, I just want to bump them out just a tad. Anyone have a size recommendation??

From a search I see 5mm. Is this correct? They are hub centric...right?

Chad,
u can go with H&R 10mm or get it from board sponsor www.boothedesign.com

he's got 6mm. 5mm is OEM.

 

Thanks, I see that he does not include studs on the 6mm. Is this correct? How far in do the stock bolts go in on the hubs?

If all you are going to do is 6mm, just use longer bolts (just my opin, but 6mm is not worth the time).

 

5 or 6 mm spacers are for fine tuning only. They are far too thin to support studs as the thicker adapters do. If you add any thin spacer to your wheel, you should have a longer wheel bolt. The stock Porsche wheel bolt has 30mm of threads. To be safe, you need to add our 38mm wheel bolt with a 6mm spacer, and our 46mm wheel bolts with our or their 15mm spacer. The small spacers are not hub centric, neither Porsche o.e.m. or ours. That is because that the metal is too thin to macine in a hub centric ring. We counter that by making the spacer tight fitting on to the Porsche hub so that it can not move. That is exactly what Porsche does also. You might also notice that their price is 3 times what ours are. We have 15 sizes of spacers to take care of all needs.

 

No-Turn-Tech, sent you PM.

 

What does hub-centric mean?

 

Hub centric means that there is a raised center ring that is machined into the spacer that protrudes snugly into the inner bore of the wheel so that the wheel is not allowed to move in any direction. I hope that is as clear as mud. The ball seat of the lug nuts or lug bolts center the wheel also, but the hub centric feature is just another insurance that the wheel stays centered. The Porsche hub has this feature built in so that the wheel fits on to that device.

 

Okay...what size spacer will I need for coilovers (PSS9s, etc.)
