teegt4 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi guys. I'm selling these spacers. This isn't a for sale thread though as they've been sold but I don't want to sell anything which isn't up to the job or safe. To cut a long story short I bought them when I had my st205 from a member of the GT4OC (can I mention them on here? ). This was over 2 years ago now. At the time I just bought them and when they came I just ripped open the packet and had a quick look at them (oh yes they are defiantely spacers). Then they went back in the envelope for over 2 years as I'd sold the car a short time after. Fast forward to now and I had them ready to send out and noticed one of the lips on the hubcentric spacer has been machined down to about 6mm. The lip on the other is 12mm. Also on the rear on the same spacer the chamfered inside edge which would go onto the hub has been machined out. This is how I got them. They interlock as they should. So why would they machine half of the hubcentric lip off one spacer and it's chamfered inside edge? Would it be for aftermarket wheels? If so would they be okay for use with factory fit celica wheels? Also are they safe to use with a 6mm hubcentric lip, down from 12mm? Any help appreciated.

Old Red Celica Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think Freaky Parts would give you a very good answer even though they may not be his products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G1bbo Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Maybe someone tried to use both on one side to make a huge spacer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digs Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 kinda thought the short lip was maybe an aftermarket alloy, but machining the inside ?? Two spacers = 1 spacer twice as good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINY Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 maybe someone has had feet for hands and they have sneaked them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digs Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Tee, do the spacers fit the other way, so first stock, then machined on top ? Just thinking of the two spacer idea, maybe they fit together better machined out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teegt4 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I'll have a check tomorrow and see if the 12mm lip on the un-machined spacer would have fit all the way in if they hadn't removed the inside chamfered edge. It'd be interesting to know if what size lip the hubcentric spacers tend to have?? Mmmm..... Sorry digs I didn't really answer your question. Yes both fit perfectly. The machined one fits the non machined and vice versa. Think you might be onto something too. May be they did it to turned the 2x 20mm spacers into a 40mm one.

FreakyParts Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Are they free? I don't see any reason 1-why they did it and 2-why it would make any difference when fitting. But they weren't made/supplied by us so it would be buyer beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
