People used to use those way back when I was in to minis, they were generally frowned upon.

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i had them on a mini too and was under the same impression though mine caused me no problems

 

just wondered if they are safe

[5hane]

they dont look too strong IMO

[Stu_B]

What about these?

but the wheel stud extensions go on first then the spacer fits tightly to them and you still have plenty of thread to bolt your wheel on surley they cant snap

 

but as stu_B says they were generally frowned upon

 

why ?????

[5hane]

ill have a look for some shattered spacers for you then

 

 

the ones stu posted look much better

[richie_stix]

rally design do em, good ones and value for money too!

 

VW owners use them all the time, and hub adapters to fit all sorts of the wrong wheel to the wrong car! they feckin love it!

My dad still calls those wheel spacers " wheel bearing breakers " They were all the rage on minis and the like years ago and when he was in the trade in the 70's and 80's he had to change loads of bearings because the spacers over loaded them. Steer well clear mate

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

what about the ones stu_B posted are they good ????????

[evil knievel]
