Re: Wheel Spacers
Just looking for a big of discussion here, whats usually recommended in terms of axle width?
Front and rear the same?
Wider front?
Wider rear?
From factory most solid axles have a wider front axle then the rear, is this for on-road stability when turning etc?
What about from a off-road only point of view?

Cant run them on the road , if you get caught you will go for a row of shit cans
Re: Wheel Spacers
20mm is the maximum thickness you can get certed, unless the spacer is to effect a change in stud pattern, in which case it can be 27mm thick.

Double check with your certifier

Re: Wheel Spacers
What kind of strain would these put on everything else? And also can someone tell me if these would be equivalent of an ifs hub swap on a solid axle surf? Trailer my mud tyres everywhere so no major for the road legalness.

Re: Wheel Spacers
just xtra pressure on bearings as the force is inlarged by the wheel having more leverage due to being further from axis,i think that made sense and yes i do belive it is the same

muddyhilux wrote:hi all,just been in touch with certifyer and has confirmed for me 20mm "slip on" spacers,ie not bolted on are maximum,however when u go to the adaptor style,ie bolt the spacer on then bolt rim to spacer on 2nd set of studs your allowed 27mm for road only vechiles and 25mm for track / road cars,thats y everyone makes 25mm adapotors because theyre more likley to be brought by someone for track car and 2mm is piss all
hope that clears it up but as always check with your specific certifyer as not all guys are the same
After re-reading the lvvta document, I think this is correct, but it pays to check with your cert guy first

Re: Wheel Spacers
I don't think you will find spacers like the bolt on ones for 15mm.
As the nut needs to be rebated into the spacer.
The thinnest is 25mm...
Other option is to use a packer...
May need longer wheel studs.
Also from memory the packer needs to be retained on the hub or wheel....

Re: Wheel Spacers
You used to be able to fit wheel adapters..
But the new WOF rules state any spacers / adapters need cert now.
Have a read of the rules out as of April 2011

The only problem with that is... You get in a road accident....
Car is inspected and spacers found not certified...
No insurance......Plus other fines. Even if you are in the right...

Are you sure? This is only what ive been told by an ex insurance assessor but to not pay out theyd have to prove that the wheelspacers contributed to the accident in some way
