Wheel spacers and Mr SVA

Hi guys, my rear wheel arches look pretty empty, anyone had issues with wheel spacers and SVA.
Cheers,
Bob

Nope, went through SVA last Tuesday with 30mm spacers on the rear, thats 60mm over all!! Wasnt even mentioned.

Cant see them having any issue.... Provided that your wheel studs/bolts have plenty of available thread to hold the nut inplace!!!

If the wheel looks like it might come into contact with the arch if you fit spacers.... dont! (or leave it till after test if you think you might get collisions)

mine was fine with spacers, the tester even said that i could do with more spacers on the back

No problems here either. Only 10mm spacer plate but still no problems....

Cheers fellas spacers ordered, only reason I ask was I know years ago spacers were frowned upon.

The solid "competition" type using new longer studs have always been ok -- it is the Cosmic type with stud extenders that were a bit iffy..

I think someone had a problem with spacers (can't rememebr who) but if they are hubcentric if over say 10-15mm and there is enough thread showing on the studs you should be OK
