running a 10mm spacer is just like running a ET41 offset wheel, nobody kicks off when people do that :happy2:

....No, nobody kicks off, but it doesn't make it a wise thing to do. It's early days for seeing such problems anyway.
I'm just being very cautious (I like the look) and exploring the subject with my Devil's Advocate hat on :evilgrin:

Not to sure where your going with this one Red leader. :confused: It may be early days to see what effects your engine mods will have long term, but people have been fitting spacers and different wheels since time began, I am not to sure what you are worried about going wrong. I have seen no cases of wheels flying down the road, and if its a bit of premature wear on the bearings, well thats not the end of the world. :smiley:

....I'm not sure where I'm going on this one either!! :grin:
Just being extremely cautious mainly because a few people whose very experienced opinions I greatly respect have advised against it. Plus a couple of posts here.
It's natural that if you've done a mod (and that includes me), then you have made a decision which you think has no problems.
For me the jury is still out but I do like the look :happy2:

do you think you would actually feel any difference with the spacers?

you most definatly can not feel any difference with them on , some one on another thread said "i must love understeer if i fit these spacers " thats like saying my car will be noticable quicker if i leave the back seats at home !!!!!!

will be getting a set of these for my front wheels.. after having brakes fitted yesterday which needed 8mm spacers to fit the wheel they only had cheapo spacers in stock and I needed my car back that day.
driving over 60mph there was vibration in the steering wheel and if felt like the car was wobbling :scared:
hubcentric spacers i have been told will end this, fingers crossed, but min size is 10mm but willing to go a further 2mm to improve it!
so whatever you do make sure you buy hubcentric one's for the front and not the halford specials as they will ruin the ride of you car.
