Spacers - possibile safety hazard?

[alextoffie]

Does having spacers on alloys reduce their safety?

I don't know why but the idea of having a spacer isn't something i'm keen on... But i've been offered some alloys at a decent price - only thing is they require a 20mm spacer to fit my VTR.

Anyone?

i had spacers when i has alloys on my old 1.1 and had no problems

just remember you will need longer nuts though aswell

Dont get spacers as you have to use the longer wheel studs which can snap which is obviously unsafe..

The best thing to do is to get a hubcentric spacer..

These are alot safer as the spacer bolts to the hub then you use normal size bolts to bolt the wheel to the spacer..

Its a much safer system..

Cheers matey. Its £50 for 2 hubcentric ones on ebay... Obviously i'd need 4... these alloys don't look so cheap anymore :ill:
