Thread: hub size

i am looking to buy some wheel spacers does anyone know what exact size the hub is? as i think hub centric ones will be more safe.

Thanks for the update Lauren

all pre-fiat alfa's have 4x98 PCD and the hub measures 58,6mm all post-fiat alfa's have 4x98 PCD and the hub measures 58,1mm i drove my purple series 2 33 for over 6 years with 15mm spacers all round without ever having to change a wheelbearing (a lot of people claim that wheelspacers will cost you your wheelbearings) i bought NOVITEC spacers for a 155, my wheels were 7Jx15 ET42, designed for the 155 so the smaller hub, and had the...

The accepted rule of thumb is that the scrub radius is OK if the dimension stays within the tyre contact patch. Mine doesn't Graff is right about the Ackermann too, but I would say the affect on that is outweighed by the change in scrub... Lauren
