Hey does any on know where i can get some wheel spacers for my wagon so the wheel track is the same on the back as the front. The wheel track in the front is 1545mm and the rear is 1505mm so im looking for 20mm spacers. The reason i want them is so that the rear wheels dont sit so far in the guards unlike the front which is flush tith the guards. i Have csa Pursuit 17x 8 rims, any ideas??

wheel spacers are illegal, in some states tho you can use adaptors, basically the adaptors bolt to your studs and are a machined spacer with studs in them that your wheels bolt to, however the adaptors always seem to work loose,

yeah try and avoid them if you can

I had plastic spacers for my 19's.. when I went to take the rims off to put on another car they were stuck to the rotor, this was probably due to heat from the brakes so they melted a tiny bit.

It took a while to get off but with some pliers and elbow grease we managed to get them off.

Porsche offer wheel spacers as an option for the 911 carrera for improved handleing, but i dont know if they say you may use them on the road or just the track. One would think that if somthing is safe enough for the high stress track use it should be fine for the road

Just because a manufacturer makes an option available for more extreme uses of their product, it doesn't mean it's legal.
