[928uk] Rear Wheel Spacers

[Paul R Smith]

The S2 with the wide rear track option had longer studs and a spacer 
that slipped over the studs, is that what you old one had?

To fit a spacer without removing the axle flange to fit longer studs, 
you can fit a bolt on spacer which bolts to the flange with the old 
studs and has new studs which you bolt your wheel onto. All the nuts 
will be normal wheel nuts, and on later wheels the tops of the nuts will 
sit in recesses in the wheel. I suspect that the tel-dials don't have 
these recesses.

Do you know what spacers you bought (part number), and what the inside 
of your wheels look like?

I suspect  that you could cut down the wheel studs, use open ended steel 
nuts to attach the spacer and you might have enough room, but you would 
need to make some measurements first.
