Improving Turning Circle - 110 CSW

<< < (2/3) > >>

Priglet:
I've had wheel spacers on mine for about 2 years. No problems so far, turning circle improved and the wheels actually reach the edge of the arches :D, also means they stick out wider than my mudflaps so more mud gets flicked onto the bodywprk (and me) when playing.

Cheers. Am going to wolf rims and skinny tyres in near future rather than extreme muds and modulars but know they will look funny on truck so have been wondering about spacers for the cosmetics. 

Tommo:
First things first, check that your lock stops are letting your wheels turn enough. you can adjust them so there is 5mm or so between the tyre and the radius arm on full lock.
