Spacers/ stance

Hi my anus runs 225 75 15 colway MT tyres
I was told I could reverse the wheels to give better stance and stability but found it not possible
The fronts catch the calliper and the rears don't sit flush with the face of the drum because of the design of the spokes
Am I doing something wrong or would it be best to get spacers? Where do I get them from and what size please?

Some suzuki wheels are apparently reversible but I personally wouldn't.
Your best bet is some spacers, bloodred offroad sell them as do bitsforvits. There's nothing wrong with the cheaper 'graystone' style cast spacers but obviously the more expensive machined aluminium ones are stronger and better.
The wider you go the more stresses are put on your wheelbearings though so don't go wider than you need to.
32mm should be plenty.

Nice one I'l give them a try. Might have more chance of fitting in land rover tracks then instead of been banked over all the time !
