He farmed out the distribution because he was just so busy, but with Lateral you can't go wrong, he's in Watford next to Garage-D and his service is spot-on

And with the spacers you may need to be careful with the width and offset of wheels to avoid and rubbing. I would say arch rolling may be needed.

But with all these, we ARE talking wheel spacers aren't we?
With the resulting stresses on the hubs and suspension issues?

I mean.......why?

Old wives tale, no different to running high offset wheels and the additional strains are negligible. If a wheel bearing goes shortly after fitting it's likely that the bearings where on their way out anyway.

In all honesty Jeff if you we're talking 40mm plus then I'd agree but at 10-25mm it is as Jon says above,it's no different to a large offset wheel strain on the bearing.

Exactly,now that would put undue stress on the bearing and it would fail no doubt before it's time!!

The hub centric ones are pretty good as the stud is under no greater strain due to the bolt on nature of the spacer with new mounted studs. At 20mm hub strain is unlikely IMHO and is something I'll be doing on my newage very soon. The CDF ones are stupid expensive at c.£300 (2 pairs), and I am still doing some reading about the best ones available. Do NOT want to spend lots of cash only to find they vibrate like a M'Fkr !
