Hey,
I am looking at getting some wheel spacers in order to have more variety in my rim choice. A few questions... What are they worth? Best place to get them from? Which states are they legal in? Tim

i find it amusing that legalities are always asked about but i bet you wouldnt even question the safety of your vehicle? hub adaptors are legal here i think (different to spacers but do the same job) i dunno about other states

Sometimes one must sacrifice their safety in order to look good! lol
Cheers Mate, Tim

Spacers just push the rim further out, causing less stud to be poking out and making the rim sit on the studs instead of the hub. Adaptors sit on the hub and bolt onto the existing studs. They also provide another hub and longer studs off the adaptor.
Wish I could find some pics, itd be way easier to explain. |

Bingo. Do the job properly, espeacially when it comes to safety parts like wheels, brakes, and suspension. (see that 'I cut my springs' thread <meshakeshead>)

i would have thought that anything that altered the wheel track from factory is illegal in all states? may be wrong

It isn't altering the wheel track, if it is just correcting the offset.
