hub adapters Good/Bad???

[MWP]

Ive got 25mm bolt-on hubcentric spacers on the rear of my GT4.
They aint going anywhere... very strong. I wouldnt be surprised if some part of the factory suspension broke before they did.
$250 for the pair from Wheelworx in Adelaide (they make them to order).

yer I would be looking at hub centric and adapters, not spacers as they are bad

thanks for opinions guys

I think that you have to consider why you are using spacers. If it is the means by which you increase the track of the car it is definitely going to increase loads on the hub bearings, and in some cases considerably.

If however you are using bolt on spacers to provide for fitting different offset wheels but retaining the same track AND they are hub centric and well engineered I see no reason why you would not use them. And I use 25 mm bolt on spacers on the front of my car and am quiet happy with them. That being said I believe it would be difficult to find an engineer or registration authority that would accept them.
