Hi Guys i just picked up a set of 20mm Hubcentric wheel spacers and my problem is when i go to torque down the spacer to the hub it moves around...it is easy to torque down wheels since you can tighten then lower to the ground then torque but with the spacers i cant seem to hold the rotor so it doesn't move and torque down the spacer at the same time....i hope this makes sense

and also i am really into cars but dont know jack about mechanics and how to properly do some things...any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Drew

 

have someone hold the brake
or pull the e-brake for the rears

 

yeah i figured that out...i was wondering if there is a way to do it by myself?

my girlfriend does not like when i ask her to help me install parts haha

 

That sucks, she should support you in everything you do LOL.

Hope everything goes well

 

haha i know...i just remember last time i was cleaning and painting my brake calipers...she was bitching about how all i do is play with my car and how i love my car more than her (partly true sometimes)....so i asked her if she wanted to help? all i got was a blank stare....and then a "does it look like i want to help work on cars?" so i left it at that

 

You can DIY with a long bar.

Put two lug nuts on the studs to protect them (I like the tuner style for this)
The bar goes between two studs and onto the ground to hold while torquing.

 

This is exactly the type of answer i was looking for...i dont know why my dumba$$ couldnt figure it out...i was gonna try to jam something in the rotor haha...its a good thing i asked...Thanks Intgr8r

 

haha... NP.
It took me a while the first time too.

 

i have a new set of wheels i wanna put on but the offsets are too high and i will need to run spacers to make it look good....however on my new wheels the hub does not have holes or spaces for the origional hub bolts to go...so they wont go on the whole way....what can i do?

is there another spacer i can use or am i screwed?

Thanks!

 

You can swap out your existing studs for longer ones and run the type of spacer w/no built-in studs. Similar to these http://www.ichibausa.com/g35i35.html
