G'day Mate,

When i got my wheels i had 30mm spacers made up to put the rims closer to the guards, the cost me $85 each. I dont know where they where made the guys at the tyre place organised it all

Regards
Richard

Gday Mark

Go to E-Bay, Search 'Spacer' in 'Cars,Bikes&Boats'
A range of them will come up for you.
Mostly universal fit in different thicknesses.

You should experiment with washers on the studs first,
to find the 'minimum' thickness required(please dont drive it like this)
Just check for clearance.

Also check that you have enough wheel stud length.

Cheers Jeff

another thing you may try if you can find them is LC/LJ torana drum brake front hubs and drums, as you might find with spacers you don't have enough thread left on the wheel studs
