wheel spacers

Post by samurai gary » Sat Mar 31, 2012 9:48 pm

Hi I am thinking about adding some wheel spacers to my sammy, mainly just to make it look better and also for stability. I have 215 / 75 /15 tyres, does anyone know how this will affect the vehicle. I use on road quite a lot so would be concerned about handling, turning and drag, i have also seen mentioned that they wear wheel bearings really quick, any advice would be great.....thanks

Ive got spacers on mine and never caused me any problems.

Improved it on and off road and looks way better.

Same, I've had spacers on both of my SJs and it improves handling, off and on road!
