Wheel Spacers
Hi,
Is the SVA man cool with wheel spacers?

Can't see any reason why not, as long as your wheel studs are long enough! Can I ask why you think you need them though?? Would it not be
better in the long run to get wheels with the correct offset....Oli.

Solid spacers were certainly no prob at SVA for me, but I would agree, better to get correct offset wheels if poss.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Actually my wheels are Caterham original minilites with the correct offset. It's just that I have wide arches and an escort axle. That along
with the wheels being 13" makes them look a little 'puny'. With the spacers they look fine.

Mine passed OK with 10mm spacers on the rear, and with longer studs to suit. They gave a bit of extra clearance between the tyre and the trailing arm
bolts and made the wheels fit the arches just right.

Make sure you get the hubcentric variety or you will probably suffer from wheel wobble.
