wheel spacers

[olly84]

Hi all I need some wheel spacers for my vitara can I put 3inch ones on or is that too big?

Personally I wouldn't run more than 30-40mm, wheel spacers put more strain on your wheel bearings and running ones that are 3" long will reduce the life of the wheel bearings quite a lot.

3"?

Never even heard of 3". Biggest i've heard of are 50mm (2" approx). As Scott says most run 30mm with a good off set wheel.

I was going to get 50mm wheel spacers for my discovery but there just to ott to be honest then as Scott says they can lead wheel bearing failures etc.Also my dads friend's disco snapped its stub axle on a roundabout.

Think il just get some bigger and wider wheels then thanks for the advice

Plenty of wheel to choose from. All depends what size tyres you want to fit.

I want a set of big mud tyres . I bought a set of old vitara wheels with mud tyres on but when I fitted them thay sit right in fron the arch hense needing wheel spacers lol but bigger wheels wil look better and I'll get a bit more lift too

[Jordi]

How do you figure more lift?

Only thing that gives more lift is bigger tyres.

What size do you want to fit?

Been looking for some photos of your Vit in other posts but can't find any.

Could you stick some up? We all love pics on here.
