Wheel spacers help needed!! - Chris0121 - 05-09-2019
Can anybody tell my if 9.5mm spacers will be ok to run on my mr2 with the standard bolts or are they going to be too short and dangerous to run if not does anybody know where I can get some hubcentric ones cheap for my mr2

I cannot say for sure, but would think that bolts 1cm further out than they were spose to be would not be recommended.

why not just change to longer bolts

Haven't you got to take all the hubs apart though need a quick bolt on fix to e fair

yer but it takes about 15 minutes a wheel.
all you need is a hammer to knock the old ones out.
some locktight
and a open nut the same as the stud and a washer or 2.
you put the new stud in place with a bit of locktight
then use the open nut to pull it into place from the outside.

I don't think it's very hard. But best to get advice from the likes of Boost (he will probably comment when he sees this) as he is running massive wheels and a wide body kit on his V6 MR2.

Deff need long bolts mate. I have a set of spacers same size as yours and there is no way they will fit with std bolts. My spacers came off trd 1
I need to do the same. There are long bolts of different lengths in fleabay

Just spoke to boosst he said he thinks that spacers over 5mm will wear the bearings out quite quickly
All this to fit my new wider arches so much hassle 10j wheels just dont like being fitted on mr2's lol

it's not a hard job, it's only the backs and if you can chance disks then this is about the same as, better with longer bolts that add on spacers as the bearings will get more wear just as is said. this is the kind if thing you can do at home,
