Wheel spacers

[The Cheese]

Can anyone tell me what wheel spacers to buy please just bought eibach spacers but the disc won't go over the top of them 

and also anyone know what the back strut setup is i.e. Ford 

it's 2012 fw zetec

Not sure exactly what you mean by back strut setup? 

On an independant rear suspension car, the rear uprights/wishbone arrangement is pure Westfield in design, and common to nothing else, this includes the rear spring/damper set up. If you mean back space, then this varies I'm afraid between different year cars.

Why are you trying to put the spacers on over the discs by the way? Is this some special feature unique to Eibach? if so it's going to screw up everything on the rear brakes, as they'd need custom mounts making - NOT that I'm recommending that. If this is the only way the spacers fit, I'd suggest you've been given the wrong ones.

Spacers normally slip or bolt over the top of the disc and are the las thing to go on the hub before the wheel...

[The Cheese]

Don't explain it correctly 

the spacer goes on the hub then the disc goes back over that as if it were on the hub only thing is diameter of internal disc is 135mm spacers are bit too big for disc to fit over

Can you put a photograph up of what the problem is?

this is how they are normally, although you will have studs rather than bolts.

I was trying to put them in side the disc 

not outside as in your picture 

[Yanto]

As Dave said, if you do that you screw up the caliper spacing for the disc, i suspect if you put the disc on first then the spacer all will fit ok, give it a try 

[The Cheese]

I'm glad I have you lot on hand or I would be pulling my hair out now 

thanks guys , maybe eibach ought to put instructions in for divis like me

Oh, I realized what you'd done, was just being polite and not calling you a spanner when i suggested doing it differently!

Dont worry! That's where the club and threads like these come in
