1965 356C spacers

#1 Post by Charles H Jacobus »

I've been trying to find spacers that can be bolted on rather than requiring all new lugs. Two questions:
1. Is this the wrong type to use?
2. Where do I get them?

If you use spacers you will need longer studs. Unless you use adapter spacers.

Yes Dave, those are the ones I was considering and wondered if they would be okay.

Chuck, the fact that they were made in Germany gives me the warm and fuzzy's and if they can give you any kind of DIN rating I would say they are OK. Check and see what certification if any they may have.

I checked this site and it said you needed longer bolts. Is this an error or doesn't anyone read the ad?
