Wheel Spacers

Post by Bubba »

Anyone wanna throw some numbers around for some 70 Cruiser Spacers. now that the 70 has had a good work out with the Mudzilla's the rubbing is worse than I thought.

Jafa did say he would, but I was a few to many green bottles into the day to remember :oops:

You can get the centres shifted in your rims for $30 plus GST each and not have to worry about spacers :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

they they flip the area were you bolt the rim on to the axle. so in other word would be like taking the rim off and make the inside the outside. if that makes sence.

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 :D
