Hi guys.

 

I will be fitting 3 inch wide rear arches shortly.

 

The hubcentric wheel spacers are 5 lug 4.5 bolt pattern. the option on the website states 1 inch or 1.25 thickness.

 

Bearing in mind that the rear arches will be 3 inches wider,

 

What thickness will I require, 1 inch or 1.25?

You would be better off getting the wide arse done first and then measuring the thinkness of spacer you require?

1.25 inch equates to about 32mm. So in theory you are fitting a 3 inch arch kit (I assume this is 3inch each side) then you will obviously need the bigger spacer. Even then there should be plenty of room left.

If its is 3 inch total (i.e.1.5" each side) then again in theory the 1.25" spacer should be fine.

I would have thought, if it was 3" each side then the 60mm spacers from Zcentre would be better to fill the arches? 3inches being 76mm.

This is all under the assumption that your current wheels are being used and they currently fit correctly.

Most people get the arches fitted then fit the wheel and measure what spacer is required to bring the wheel right out to the edge of the arch.

If you get a standard spacer that's too small you won't be able to get a wheel with enough offset to make it look right.

You should be able to use the Z Centre ones without any problems providing you are not using stock wheels - they were designed for a certain offset wheel.
