Wheel Spacers

Post by The Bird Man » Wed Oct 15, 2014 7:36 pm

Has anyone got any pictures of their Zooks with and without wheel spacers at all ? Just trying to get an idea to how much of a different look it will give and if they're worth the reddies :lol: Many thanks, Eddie.

There are pros and cons to spacers. I like them but they can wear bits out faster than normal. I used Grayston ones on my last SJ and they lasted 7 years with no problems at all. But they were a bugger to fit. And you'll need bigger arches too!

I ran 235s on standard wheels and spacers (samurai axles) for ages and found it worked pretty well
I'm also using the grayston spacers
Lots of people say they are crap but they've never put a foot wrong for me

Although that may be because spacers dont have feet

I've never ran spacers and have never felt the need to either.
