 Post subject: Longer wheel bolts ...

How would I go about this, I understand the fitting process and that but where would you advise buying them from? Are they stuff I can just buy off of e-bay or are they something that Hyundai would have etc.?

I ask this as I am looking at getting larger spacers, perhaps 15 - 20mm, which I don't think the standard bolts will take, and even if they did I think it would be a bit dangerous lol :P

Any help would be appreciated :)

Edit - Also, out of curiousity, anyone got any idea what the biggest spacers are that I could safely fit on the standard bolts?

Get wheel adapters instead, stay away from spacers!
SR and kspec sell them.

Yes and for good reason, adapters split and before you know it your wheel is rolling off to the side somewhere and killing people.
You can get cheaper adapters off ebay actually, just need to choose the right pcd and mm you need.

I don't trust wide spacers, puts a lot of strain on the bolts.

Those one from shark racing look like the proper job tho.

A bit pricey :swear

right, I have been having a look on rdtiburon, and as well as all of the new modifications I am so so so tempted to do, such as a two seater conversion for one lol! I came across the longer wheel bolts that we can use, and suprisingly, they recommend using mitsubishi evo studs, or these ones which I shall be buying:

Just thought I would post these incase someone else was going to put big spacers on :thumbup

1mm off center at the hub is much more 10mm out from it add more distance add more imbalance.
