Wheel Spacers

[MessyTom]

I'm looking at getting some wheel spacers and extended studs for my new K11. I have done it before to my old one, but can't remember where I got them from or which ones they were. They were eBay though I think.

I know these say they are OK for Micras, but will they be OK? By the looks of it they will fit, but does anyone know if they're any good?

Anyone? Or does it not matter which ones you use?

yeah they'll be fine for the job, although i wouldn't think about putting 20mm spacers on the front. it'll mess with the steering too much. max i'd be happy to put on the front is around 5mm, maybe 8mm if 5 didn't affect it.

Thanks Tom. What size is it I need if I buy them separately from the spacer kit? I'm looking at M12x1.25mm 14.3 spline and 20mm extension

to be honest i couldn't tell you about studs. i've no idea what thread/spline they areshould be. i knew about spacers because i did it to my old fiesta (r.i.p.). to be honest, depending on the wheels you're running, you should be able to fit 5mms to the front on the standard studs. you'll need the longer studs for anything over 10mm though or the nuts won't go all the way on to the stud.

Thanks - I now have 32mm on the rear, and 5mm on the front
