ChrisSZ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Glad you like 'em - they cost me all of £160 off ebay - in good condition too. The only fiddly bit I had was removing the Mazda logo from the centre caps and replacing them with Toyota ones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_controller Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 i thought spacers wern't a good idea. how do effect the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Been on for nearly a year with no ill-effects or adverse tyre wear. Personally I have never quite understood the 'no spacers' school of thought. What's the difference between a set of wheels the correct offset and the same set with the wrong offset but with spacers to correct it? The measurements will be exactly the same (i.e. the offset) so I fail to see how they can put extra stress on the wheel bearings. I would only ever use decent quality hubcentric spacers and would never go any more than is absolutely necessary. I admit, 'propper' wide, deep rims would be more desirable but I have no intentions of tracking the car so I fail to see any problem No doubt others will disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
