wheel spacers
Hi I am thinking about adding some wheel spacers to my sammy, mainly just to make it look better and also for stability. I have 215 / 75 /15 tyres, does anyone know how this will affect the vehicle. I use on road quite a lot so would be concerned about handling, turning and drag, i have also seen mentioned that they wear wheel bearings really quick, any advice would be great.....thanks

Re: wheel spacers
Same, I've had spacers on both of my SJs and it improves handling, off and on road!
