what do spacers do??

[roders990]

i have heard many people going on about getting spacers, are they for the wheels to make them stick out further, i see many people doing this on sport replicas, i have a non-sport with turinis, would people suggest to get spacers or are they to fill wider arches on the sports,

please help!

the spacers will make the wheels sit out further and will look wider

you'd need longer wheel bolts too, depending on the size of the spacer.

Hence the name spacers!!!

would they give an improoved look? where can i get them and how wide should the spacers be, also how much would they cost? cheers

Well some want them to look good, and some need them (like me) to stop scraping after putting on different wheels etc. I think theres a group buy going on in the parts for sale section.

Rod iv got spacers on the rear of mine, makes them look far better as the rear arches are massive
