Wheel spacer's.
Porny:
--- Quote from: "TD90" ---in my view they are a waste of money. and have heard very bad things about wheel spacers that put me off :cry:
and they do reduce turning circle but not enough to justify buying a set, and as i say i wont touch them.

Really...
I run wheel spacers and have never had a problem...
However I do run proper Hub-Centric Steel wheel spacers... not of the silly alloy type...
As mentioned, mine are hub centric so actually locate the wheel as per the orginal hub - more important on alloys than steel wheels IMHO.

I have a set of Scorpion Pro-Spacers and not had any problems in the 3+ years they've been on there. They are TUV approved, made of alloy and have the centering lugs.
They allow me to run 33x12.5x15 tyres on 8Jx15 wheels and maintain the normal turning circle.
I've heard people on about wheel bearings failing but if you keep them greased and tightened, like you should, then I can't see and haven't experienced any problems with them. :wink:

Porny where did you get your spacer's from and what thickness are they ?

Porny:
My wheel spacers came from Kenson 4x4 - Tel: 0121 505 3668
They actually make the wheel spacers for quite a few other suppliers :wink:
Thickness... 30mm I think :? but can't remember... and I can't measure them as I haven't got my 90 at the moment.
