Hi Guys,

Just picked up a set of 15" alloys to replace my 15 steels I have since found out they are for an earlier model pre 1A00001. they have a problem with the spokes touching the rear drum as the later drum is concave in the middle where the studs come through instead of the earlier convex drum. Question is would they be safe if i put on a pair of the universal 3mm spacer discs to get them to clear the drum as the centre hole would probably not engage with the flange on the drum and all the weight would be on the studs. mine is a 05/2001 V6 ES. thanks in advance, Fuzrat

agreed yella that is what spacers do. no need for the sarcasm might be your kid crossing the road when i jump on the anchors and a back wheel shears off the studs. better to ask the advise of a more knowledgable group of people than risk it dont you think?

thanks slob i did a search but the thread had no real definitive answer do you think these wil do the trick?
