Funny you posted that, so that's what I based my assumptions on and used 54mm on the dot to allow for a .13 to .17mm slip fit. I double checked this with my wheel spacer supplier since they specialize in custom wheel spacers and they confirmed this size. I also test fit this on my Jongbloeds which was a snug but slip fit and fell into my 6ul's since they aren't hub centric.

I pulled an oem 14" 7 spoke off of my parts car and sure enough the spacer wouldn't go on without force even after cleaning up the corrosion. Once I had it cleaned up it measured 53.99mm -54mm so not nearly enough clearance for a slip fit.

I'm changing the snout diameter to 53.9mm which will correct the issue. I've only sent out two sets so far so this will be an easy fix on my end and I'll make it up to Sonofthehill for taking one for the team.

Sorry if this shook anyone's faith but things will be set right.

I think most of us wouldn't have noticed because, well, who on this group buy list still puts stock wheels on their car?

It's amazing how those little things like that will catch you off guard. I work for a small company and we run into stuff like that all the time. Easy fix though.

I run a set of the 95M BBS on the street. But need 5mm spacers to clear my 11" brakes though.

Howdy! Awesome to see some front hub options to go in parallel with the sadfab rears. Just curious if you have test-fit this over some 2.5 or 3" brake ducts like the ones from TSE ?

I'm running some home made brake ducts that clear since they are flat with the mounting bolts. I believe the singular/tse ducts are very similar and would work as well. These bearings still fit within the footprint of the ABS ring location so I don't forsee any issue.

Double posting to say I've got the machining corrections worked out for the next batch and started fixing this batch last night. I'll try my best but I don't think I'll get all of the 1-10 spots done before I head to the track Friday evening. They will go out pending payment early next week though since Monday is a holiday. The second batch of spacers are on the CNC now so I'll have spots 11-30 covered with one acception, I'll be changing to WJB bearings as the provider for the poverty bearing. Hate to make a change but I've gotten several good reviews from BMW guys and honestly I like the machining on them. If we have any issues with them I'll make it right.

I've attached the instructions

Will this work with the v8 roadsters big brake kit that uses an after market rotor?

I would assume it would; my understanding is that the spacer is there so that the bearing has the same offset as the stock one for brake rotor purposes. If it works with the stock hub, it will work with these as well.

I think the inner diameter is a bit larger than the factory rotors. I’ll take mine apart and get some measurements.

Yes, these work with factory Miata rotors and copy the diameter of the miata hubs so anything that fits a stock hub should fit on these hubs.


Had a great weekend at Pitt Race but one of my fellow track rats dodged the big one. He felt something funny coming through the high speed sweeper on the back strait and it continued into 11, he made the right call to dive into the pits and barely made it to the paddock with the wheel on the car. This is what he found.

This was a Timkin with the less desirable machining. Needless to say he and a few others are jumping on the waiting list.

Good news got my hands on a dozen ABS rings, looks like for now I can do them for 30$ a pair, price may go up in the future and I'll refund 20$ a pair if you send me a pair to machine.

Cool, I'll take a set added to my order.

Thanks Bronson! I am a happy customer, even if I am the only one running stockers. :party:
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0b6c87626e.jpg
Haven't driven on them yet, taking a break before I do the other side. The fit is beautiful, too bad Ed didn't have any of those fancy lugs for me last week ;)

I had fancy lugs, you just didn't want silver! Hehe.

Silver lugs? She sounds hideous.

They are beautiful! But anyway, these drive very nice. I can't really tell any difference, other than I have more confidence to push it through corners now.

Just an update, talked to the machine shop and he's promising to get the next batch out mid this week which will take care of spots 10-30. I went ahead and placed the order for enough spacers for spots 30-50. I'm doing well on sourcing the rest of the parts and raw materials so they shouldn't be the hold up.

I might catch up one day

Another wrinkle in the supplier chain, Bimmer World told me they had tons of premium race studs in stock when I placed the last order for 160. When I called back to order another batch they had 6......and a 4-6 week lead time to get them back in stock. There are actually two different styles of race studs


Premium Race:https://www.bimmerworld.com/Wheels-T...Stud-92MM.html

Race: https://www.bimmerworld.com/Race-Bul...Stud-92MM.html


They are both made from the stronger 190,000 psi steel, just the premium has a broader shoulder. Would spots 22 plus be willing to use the regular race studs? Cost savings will be passed on to you of course.



Machine shop didn't technically lie to me, they got the spacers shipped this week......meaning today. So I should start shipping again mid next week.

I'm totally fine with the regular race stud.

I'm fine with the regular race studs too.

Cool with regular race studs as well

I would prefer the premiums, if available for my queue.

Regular is works for me. Thank you

Is the offset of the hub in factory location?

Did you even read the thread? Rotor will be in the stock location after the spacer is on.

Thank you for the information .

I'm sorry it's a very large thread . I missed that information

These are so sweet, I literally can not tell the difference. I don't drive hard enough to get pad knock back but these feel solid compared to the original ones.

Carlos

Is it ok to change my order to the regular race studs? Thanks!

Are all studs extract same length .

Yes Frank I'm using the 92mm studs, of which roughly 80mm is protruding from the rotor face. I can also order 82mm studs if you like which will shorten them up a touch. No real reason for extended studs if you're not planning on running wheel spacers, but it looks "race car".

I'm running a 25mm spacer so I think I'd prefer the extended studs. Let me take some measurements and get back to you.

Ok folks finally got the spacers in, spots 10-20 are ready to ship so you can make payment to bronsonwm"at"gmail"dot"com

There's a good chance I'll have spots 20-30 ready to ship tomorrow as well, but they technically aren't boxed up yet.

Spots 30+.......be patient please, spacers are on order and past experience says it'll be 2-3 weeks.

What ended up being the verdict for ABS stuffs?

I'm stocked up on rings and will be sharing dimensions for those who want to make their own. Mine will be $40 a pair.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c7ed5a6fa1.jpg

Awesome product! Got them installed this weekend in no time and everything fit together great.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...ac75b16f30.jpg

Yes spots 10-21 will get the premium studs, I'll be switching to the regular race studs after that and the price will drop 24$

Payment has been sent.

I think the above belongs in this thread. Nice to see the forum cross-posting has been resolved

The thread in race prep was my 2 year old development thread , didn't really plan to sell these at first, all the $$ discussions occur in here.
