Rear wheel spacers for Roadster

I've searched high and low and I can't find spacers anywhere. Can anyone help?

 

And before I hear the regurgited arguments about not to use spacers, I've seen mathematical calculations on another forum and the extra stress placed is absolutely negligible. This is further emphasised by the fact that Ferrari and Lotus have fitted from factory rear spacers on a number of their high/er performance models.

IIRC, the bolt pattern is very close to 5x4.75 and that should work.

Look on eBay and you should be able to find something from H&R with different sizes.

Thank you.

Looking for ones like these?

Any, as long as they are quality. Size wise, I am looking for the largest that fits without the tires rubbing the guards at all.

On 98 / 99 Roadsters IMO use 15mm max. Best trade off between optics, mechanical stress and road performance.

Your best bet is going to be a custom spacer. I've seen people make them in a variety of ways including machining down used brake rotors but I would just find a reputable company to build some for you.

 

If you do end up going that route then consider new lug bolts/hardware as well.

 

I haven't used these guys before but they look legit? http://www.motorsport-tech.com/

I got the guys in Germany that made my Esprit spacers to make me some. They made a few more sets and listed them on Ebay too.

How much was it? Don't you need longer lug nuts?

No, the adapters bolt directly to the hub with the countersunk bolts shown. then the stock lugblots thread directly into the adapters.

How much was it?

I paid 250euro including shipping. I believe they are charging more though on their Ebay listings.

Have you tried them on, yet? It'll be awesome to see if you can post some pics of the car after the install.
