center caps for cup 2's

[freekazoid]

Update: Okay so looks like i'm gonna be getting 10mm spacers all around. I actually only need about 5 for the front but I want to bring the wheels out just that much more. The studs on the cb kit are too short though so my shop (peninsula automotive in campbell, CA in case your interested) is going to press in longer studs. All I have to do is source some spacers. It seems like a lot of work just to just get the center caps on but they make that big of a difference in the look that I think its worth it.

My Super had longer studs all the way around, too. I am sorry I forgot that detail.

I think you are making the right decision and I am sure you will be as happy with your Ghia as I am with my Super when done.

How much were your custom made spacers, if you don't mind me asking. I can't seem to find any place that sells 10mm, its either 5, 7 but then it jumps to 14 or 15. I know I've read about people using two spacers at a time, actually i meet a guy who was going that. But i'm not two sure about the saftey of that setup, although when I think about it I can't see any problem with it as long as the wheel is bolted on correctly. I would just use two 5mm spacers. I'm guess that would be cheaper than having a custom one made.

You are right to be concerned about using multiple spacers -- unless all are hubcentric.

I'm pretty sure the pair of 6mm for the front was $100. They did not have to be hubcentric, though, in my application. Hubcentric would have been more. (The 8mm spacers for the rear were over-the-counter, aftermarket items and cheaper.)

The aftermarket brand was H & R. They made 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25mm spacers for a 5x100 pattern. Perhaps, they make the 10mm version for your pattern.

Yeah I was looking at H&R sets but for the porsche bolt pattern it goes 7mm then 14mm

You said unless all are hubcentric, does that mean its feasible to use two spacers if they are both hubcentric or is it still not very safe?

I don't see why two consecutive hubcentric spacers would be unsafe but if seven's and 14's are all that are available, I don't see how you will get a ten.

... unless you are thinking of going with hubcentric adapters. Going from a Porsche to something else back to a Porsche would be most unusual. Getting both to be hubcentric and equal to only 10mm would be miraculous.

You could buy the 14's and mill, or turn them down to 10mm. Anyone with a Mill, or lathe can do this (I have both ). 4mm is not that much to "shave off".
