Wheel Spacers for front Drum Brakes??

[Grenuj]

I have a set of Alpine wheels (5,5 or 5 1/4J x13) and All-Season tires 145/70R13. My tire is too narrow.
I'd like to put them 155. Does wheel studs are long enough to bolt reach it?
The actual dimensions of a tire depend of the nearness of wheel to steering rack outer.
Are wheel spacers available and safe for rear drum brakes?

I have 160 TRX tires under my F6 and no need for spacers. 155 tires should fit.

@harbourseal , Do you have drum brakes or disc brakes?

 

[harbourseal]

I have disc brakes. Tomorrow I’ll fit one of the TRX wheels on my Sinpar with drum brakes and have a look how they fit. Sorry for misreading your post.

Spacers are not available, you have to have them fabricated.

Wheel studs are not available as aftermarket items, and the longest ones from Renault were about 35mm I think. They may be marginally suitable to fit a 10mm spacer - you won't need a thicker one anyway.

@harbourseal , brake type is the "key". For models with discs, distance between the wheel hubs and steering rack outer is longer.
In my case there is no space..they touch each other (tyres and s rack outer).
Tyre rubs when steering all the way..I have a scraping sound when i turn wheels.
@angel , ok tnx.

Same happened here when I put one of the TRX wheels on the Sinpar today. You definitely need spacers. But you need to get some made. Like @angel says.

Same happened

this is it.. very bad experience with alpine and front drum brakes..
I appreciate the effort you put into my case...

Harbourseal, do you mean TRX metric wheels? Had they ever been available for the R4/R5 stud pattern?

 

[harbourseal]

Yes they were.
