They look just the ticket but their site doesn't show prices. What did you roughly pay?
The 40mm also look interesting but I'd be worried about the extra stress on bearings etc. Anyone any thoughts? Certainly top quality kit, great recommendation...cheers! |

Tosher,
Before you get over excited about the wheel spacer just remember that you can fail your MOT/get pulled by the police if the tire sticks out from the wheel arch. Russell Russell 2011MY 110 XS USW Black |

Thanks for the heads-up but I'm well aware of that fact (Dad an ex traffic cop!).
This is not for cosmetic reasons but to prevent me having to adjust the end stops and reducing the turning circle after fitting 265x75x16 tyres. It's just a pity that I can't change to these tyres/alloys without them! |

I just changed from Mods where I had no trouble at all! I prefer the freestyle alloy so I'm going to persist with the change and source some spacers.
