Post by: amam on August 24, 2016, 11:46:10 AM

Look at eBay for fiat wheel spacers, they have hubcentric with 4x98 bolt spacing, Alfa are also listed as they have the same bolt spacing. What width are you looking for?

Yes any 4x98 patterns will fit. These are the ones I fitted - sparco hubcentric ones at 20mm each.

They're fine you'll just have to remove the bolts that's all. You may find that that is a generic picture and that they will actually come with the holes in

You don't really need to screw them onto the drums, the wheel bolts hold the drums tight - the amount of cars that come into my work with no drum retaining pins and have no problems, it's not something you need to worry about :)

ordered the correct set now, dont like the idea without them on and also it'd be very hard to fit the wheel on with the spacer just free to move
