14" enkei alloys

[Ben]

got my self some black 14" enkei's with brand new yokahoma tyres!
only issue is, the centre bore is about 7mm smaller on the rad!
any ideas on how to sort this?
if not, theyre going cheap for someone

 

[lee k0011]

Any machine shop will sort that for you..
Got any pics??

7mm? That's a lot, doubt there would be enough metal to get them milled out that much.

You could use spacers to get the wheel past the hub centre

 

[Ben]

yes mate i have got some pics,
after looking again, and cheecking with a vernier,
theyre at about 55mm atm, and i work in a cnc machining place, but they want over the odds to machine all 5 out to size,
( any clues on how to upload the pics??)

7mm is naff all when widening the centre spigot but you are better getting It done properly at an engineering shop!

it wont need much machining with that huge chamfer on the inside tho eh

 

[Ben]

yeh it is just the rad of the chamfer that needs to come out,
my place wants £50 a wheel, and thats with me doing the machining myself!

3mm shim spacers maybe ?

 

[Ben]

sounds like a plan to me!
just not realy a fan of 14's,
would rather get rid!

How cheap and where are you?

 

[Ben]

make an offer! and bedfordshire

 

[Ben]

so, went out today, bought my self some 5mm spacers... will these be big enough? and will i need longer studs? this is getting expensive

 

[mottymicra]

I tried a set of 10mm and the nuts wouldn't thread, unsure about 5mm spacers...

 

[Ben]

well,
thats bad news.
anyone know were i can get hold of some longer studs? (link please)

 

[mottymicra]

Use the search bar there is bound to be a dedicated thread on it mate

 

[Ben]

cheers motty.

 

[Ben]

had a look, with limited success.
will try and fit the wheels up tommorow, and no doubt you'll be hearing from me again
