Hub adaptor question

[bochnak]

bochnak, I know you're just quoting Skulte's website FAQ, but if a 1/4" loose spacer is "safe", does that mean that a slip-on C5/C6 rotor is unsafe at .300"? They're essentially the same thing. I'm not advocating loose wheel spacers of any thickness, just trying to get everyone to think a little before condemning them.

As for your offset specs, they essentially drop from 20mm (.797") to 10mm (.394") in the front with the addition of a 10mm (.394") spacer. Similarly, the rear offset becomes 8mm (.315") in the back with a 12mm (.472") spacer. This means that your front and rear backspacing become approximately 4-3/8" and 5-1/16" respectively. Sorry about jockeying between english and metric.

I was just stating that the min thickness of an adapter is 3/4", and the potential isses with spacers.



I have seen adapters cheaper on ebay and googling "wheel adapters". I guess the major thing to look for is conical lug seats, which center the adapter better than a counterbore.
