Quick Question About Spacers

Recommended Posts

Looking at a set of superleggeras at the moment, they are 15" but ford offset, is it ok to use hubcentric spacers? and if so how much are they?

Hubcentric spacers are fine.

Nowt wrong with the principle, it's only a problem when not fitted thoughtfully or geometry isn't considered.

hubcentric spacers in this case are fine because they are just returning the wheel to the correct pug offset. you won't be adding any extra load to the bearing because you're not affecting the existing suspension geometry.

 

spacing beyond the designed geometry is when you start putting extra load on the bearings and change the suspension geometry. possibly causing undesired handling issues
