Well, I'm officially scared off using spacers now (I was considering 5mm non-hub-centrics) - D.D. A6 Avant 2.7Tq 2008-05-27 13:02:56 (45 views)

Are the spacers hub-centric like the OEM hub and rim? - thetatau87 2008-05-27 10:37:44 (58 views)

They are - I believe all H&R spacers are hubcentric. - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 10:41:14 (41 views)

IIRC, only spacers above 12mm are hubcentric (and yours are 10mm.) I could be wrong though. - audikillsbmw 2008-05-27 10:44:58 (47 views)

CORRECT 12mm is the smallest size that is hub centric, I have a set of - true2theQ 2008-05-27 11:21:06 (60 views)

Same here ;) - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 11:29:05 (42 views)

I will take a pic of my 10mm and 12mm side by side... - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 11:36:21 (44 views)

What are you torqueing the bolts to? - thetatau87 2008-05-27 10:20:13 (44 views)

85 ft/lb - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 10:30:53 (38 views)

Check the other bolts for signs of elongation (distorted threads) They could all be defective. - thetatau87 2008-05-27 10:35:08 (31 views)

At this point, I think I will replace them all regardless of their condition - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 10:39:37 (43 views)

did you use longer lugs with the spacers? - Press 2008-05-27 09:57:21 (35 views)

I believe so... - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 10:03:41 (58 views)

Pull one of the good ones out and measure it. Let us know how long they are. - audikillsbmw 2008-05-27 10:06:14 (38 views)

41mm - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 13:30:09 (32 views)

Those bolts were long enough. They must have failed for some other reason. - audikillsbmw 2008-05-27 13:33:40 (34 views)

I'll follow up with that later in the PM - ::zuprong:: 2008-05-27 10:14:01 (34 views)

2nd that. - audikillsbmw 2008-05-27 10:03:24 (33 views)
