k so i was putting on my new rims, they didnt clear this cap, so i popped the cap off n saw this: should i put the caps back on n get spacers or just get spacers enuff to clear w/e that is

 

the cap isn't the worry, just make sure they are sitting flat against the hub.

 

is that greasy thing with the pin the hub?

 

yeah, just make sure the wheel fits flat against the flat area where the lugnuts are

 

they do, but i dnt need a spacer so that the lug cover cap isnt on that pin?

 

for clairity here....


dust cap = the metal cap that covers the wheel bearing nut/ cotter pin.

center cap = came with the wheel, makes it look pretty.


you MUST run a dust cap.




how close is it when both the dust cap and center cap are installed?

you can get away with denting the dust cap a bit to clearance it, and if its too much it isnt hard to pound it back. you'll know its too much when you spin the wheel and the nut/cotter pin will scrape the dust cap.

 

uh, all i kno is that picture 1 is all up on the center cap of the rim that hides the lugs

 

if i MUST run a dust cap, i need spacers then

 

ahhem

 

yea that is wut told me that i need spacers lol cuz the dustcap keeps the center cap from closing all the way, like its on there but its loose

 

I think you need spacers.....................


Ohhh lookkk!!!!!!!!! I'm selling some spacers........................

 

yea ur also selling some for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outta my budget lol

 

That is the same problem I am having with my xrunner wheels. As suggested in an earlier post I too am looking at denting in my dust cover... but I have to find out how much clearance I have in there first. Other wise I may either get real thin spacers or just leave them off. Probably try to dent the cover though.

 

im checking out with spacers tmw. hopefully that solves it

 

I think I might try to smash mine in tomorrow. I think I need 1/4'' to 1/2'' ... anyone know if we have enough clearance in there?

 

yea can we get 1/4"???

 

yes....... you can get 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch spacers.... i think even 3/4 inch. all depends.

i think FOKAI on here has some that he wont be using anymore.... i'd pm him. his are 1 inch or 1.5 i dont remember.

if you look at MacRib's truck, he is running 1/4 inch spacers to allow enough room to clear the hub on his 94' for the 350Z wheels....... take a look... i think he got all his for $20? oh and yes.... there is enough threads left to grab the wheel with these spacers unless you go 1"

general..... not sure where you got the wheels but, if you go to any wheel shop and ask for wheel spacers or "wheel shims" they will likely have them.

 

i got my rims off a buddy of mine, my friends dad owns a rim shop so ima head over there tmw see if he could help me out

 

Spacers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got em''''





Get them while they're still hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
