10mm Spacers with Original Wheel Nuts

SES88 · Jul 31, 2013

Jamie, according to the book should be the same torque as the normal wheel nuts, although they're only a 19mm nut instead of a 22mm. Minimum of 6.5 rotations, 10mm of thread!

Going back to this...
I ended up buying the H&R kit, and had a read of the book that came with it, they advise that for an M12x1.5 bolt the minimum that can be acceptable is 10mm, so don't know what they do differently to work out their figures...

I presume they have tested the spacers with 10mm of working thread? It doesn't sound much to me tbh. The studs and nuts will be under much higher loadings than with wheels alone due to the offset change. This is why spacers are often hated by insurers.

I'd presume they've been tested.

I'll scan the English pages in the book and upload them tonight, see what you think then

I'll check mine at the weekend, cheers Simon. There's more than 10mm of thread though.
