1800: Advice on wheel spacers for P1800E 1971 ?

[ChasesDragons]

Hi all,
I have got my p1800e mojo back after while (thanks to Tint on this forum)

I would like some ideas on where to get a pair of SAFE 25mm wheel spacers? H&R apparently have a fitting but they arent listed ny the company!

Ebay has Direnza, but apparently their securing bolts are threaded into the aluminium spacers than using steel sleeves...and my knowledge runs dry at this point!!

It was good fun steve. I had never seen another p1800, in the metal, before. Thanos for showing me around the car, I am so enthused, that I might even drive up to work in it!!

Why do you need or think you need, spacers?

[ChasesDragons]

I have a set of S40 or v40 wheels with decent tyres. I think i will need 20mm spacers to run them.

I see there are DIRENZA ones that will do but they are an unknown quantity. I cant get a set of hubcentric spacers made but I would need a lot of extra machining to make the 1: bolt onto current studs AND 2: Thread them properly to accept the allos with separate wheel bolts? I hope that makes sense

The 1800E will take all wheels from the 200/700/900 cars except the very last 900's when they changed to a FWD offset so you are spoilt for choice for alloys of all shapes and sizes. If the S40 wheels and tyres are good they may sell on for something close to another set from these other cars. No need to mess about with dodgy spacers.
