--- Quote from: "Litch" ---Unless you fit wider arches you will probably end up with the tyres sticking out past the arches, this is illegal, an MOT failure and means the side of the vehicle (inc' mirrors) gets covered in muck in double quick time.

Surprisingly, it isn't an MOT failure to have the tyre protruding from the arches. But you can be stopped by the Police as you suggest.

Hmm I havent got a clue :oops:  Sorry not much help. I`ll have to get a wheel off to have a look. Not gunna happen this side of xmas though, mega busy at the moment

Litch:
I think you will find the minimum depth is about 30mm as any less and the existing stud would protude.

I have had a set of ali spacers fitted for 60 000 miles . No problems at all. except for the mud getting thrown all up the side of the vehicle if you have nice side lugs on your tyres. Enough speed and you can normally fire it over the top of the vehicle and the one behind you as well  :D  :D  :D
