200 Series Wheel on 100 Series front hub. V. ModificationThread?

[kmad86]

So I have some bronze heritage wheels I had purchased. I had gotten confused on the modification needed to fit the front wheels because some mentioned just hitting their front dust cap in with a hammer and it working, but that’s not my issue. I see now that they are referring to the actual bolted on hub cap.

I see there are talks of modifying it, but I cannot find any actual threads on the actual modification. What are people doing? I will go spacer if I need to but would rather not if I can get around it.

Any idea the smallest and best spacer to buy?

Google spidertrax spacers for 100 series.

Bora. Measure how much you need and they'll build it to spec.

1” minimum, IIRC.

1 inch will work if the backside of the wheel is not completely flat. 1.25" if you want to make very sure there's no interference.

These are 1 inch spacers - you can see the studs still poke a bit.

I assume the OEM wheels look like this on the backside so the studs poking work fine.

However if it's a hub-centric spacer, you'll still have the center-bore problem with BORA spacers like mine. I don't know if the spidertrax are the same design or not.

What year is your LC?

06 here with heritage wheels. I used the spidertrax 1.25 spacers front and rear. Been on over a year, no issues. Enjoy

What year is your LC?

2006 LX470. As I said, each spacer is different so if you use spacers make sure the center bore is the right size.
