Thanks.
Anyway 30mm seems a little to much, I don't want the wheels to stick out the arches. Does Land Rover sell spacers for these cars? J.Seven

Spacers will cause extra stress on wheel bearings and other suspension components

Amazing how many wheels have been known to come off as well when fitted with spacers.

Down to nuts being to short or the spacers themselved ?

I would have thought that if you changed to longer nuts to compensate for the spacer then there shouldn't be a problem.

Happy to be corrected though......

the spacers are bolted onto the hub using new smaller nuts and using the existing stud holes...that leaves the spacer studs for the wheel to locate onto and be 'nutted'..

I wouldn't touch them for the reasons mentioned already - extra stresses on the wheel bearings, and wheels falling off - which is probably why they are completely illegal over here.

I know this sounds like ganging up on a fairly innocent post but I can't for the life of me see why you would fit spacers , the standard wheel offset is correct for the vehicle putting these thing in put a ( very ) week link in the drive train and at the same time increase the load to the same drive train whilst simultaneously changing the steering geometry increasing bump and torque steer . So all round a bad idea . 2008 MY Supercharged

i can see where the attraction is , the rears on the range seem to not fill out the arch properly so fitting 30mm spacer would make it look better..as for strain on the wheel bits/drivetrain etc , i cant see that as the range is very well built.. ... - .- -.

Not a fan on a road-car (ok on a dedicated offroader I guess)

Simply get the wheels you want with the appropriate offset to beging with.

However, I have NEVER heard of someone loosing a wheel because of a TüV approved spacer. Let me know if you do please. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

wheels with a bigger offset and rim width do look better on the rears but to wide on the fronts, hence the spacers on the rear idea.. ... - .- -.
