Wheel Spacers

Hightower:
Hi All,

Does anybody have any experiences, good or bad, with wheel spacers (such as those supplied by Scorpion) ?

From what I have read they do change the way the car handles, both on and off road, but are they as good as they are meant to be ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

George the Disco:
£200 for 3" more width isn't worth it. Plus if you have large tyres fitted it mucks up your potential axel articulation.

As you can guess I've already asked the questions and come to the conclusion that I can spend £200 better elsewhere.

i think 200 quid for 3 more inches is quite cheap

oh you mean wheelbase?


sorry  :oops:

Moose:
Adding wheel spacer would no doubt put extra loading on wheel bearings. I personaly wouldn't for this reason alone.

ChrisW:
Would it not be better to get another set of rims with a bigger offset?

ISTR that some people were taking disco steels, milling the centre out and welding it back in the other way round giving bags of offset.

The modular/weller 8 spoke rims have a larger offset I think.
