wheel spacers are illegal, have you looked at getting a bigger off set rim instead? |

atari they r not all illegal all depends on how much of a spacer u use but instead of listening to every tom dick and harry on here i sugesst u contact ur dot but how many of use have illegal rigs coz of a lil extra lift or a mod we have made or done |

I have seen some that are just thin and sandwhich between the wheel and hub using the standard wheel studs, and the thick ones commonly used on 4x4s which have another set of studs in them, are both types legal? |

whether they are legal or not (i f you can secure them to the rotor and they are no more than about 15mm they can be legal).....the main problem is you will need to carry a six pack of bearings most of the time...........large offsset or large spacers= bearing killers. |

does sikaflex count as being secured to the rotor? |

I think the biggest problem with the thick ones with them is that you can't see the wheel nuts behind the wheel. |

hey jake, get some big offset rims, much safer mate. i would only use spacers in an offroad sense, as in low range only. |

| Post subject: | Re: wheel spacers |
how much would you expect to pay for offset rims, i only really use my zook to 4wd very little road use, i only drive it on the road to go 4wd i was thinking they would be a cheap and easy fit |

Offset rims are probably the cheapest option anyway. |
