    English axle spacers?

    Hey guys after my episode on not being able to get the rear wheels back on the car the other week after fitting the new coil overs I now need to sort something out to get her rolling tidy so I can cracking on with it
    Bearing in mind I'm as green as gets with all these added extras and just been asking and looking with others up to now
    I will be getting an atlas axle built up in the next few months butt for now it's going to have to be the old English
    What's the views on how to get this spaced off then guys as at the moment the capri laser wheels don't even fit on there

    So I presume the wheels now hit the coilover?
    With longer studs you can use up to 1/2 wheel spacer just sandwiched between the wheel and the halfshaft.
    If that's not enough you can get much thicker spacers that bolt to the shafts with standard studs and nuts and have their own studs you then bolt the wheels to.

    Use hubcentric spacers that have spigots for mounting the wheels
