Well now i'm confused.com,
Hubcentric seem to read to be the better as they say they dont cause any vibration, but i cant find any that would fit the '02 vitara (convertable)
A few of the bolt on types on the E**Y
Just looking for a bit of guidance which are better and what size would i need for the hub to fit.
regards

Why do you want wheel spacers? If you fit them your tyres will extrude from the wheel arches making it illegal, unless you add arch extensions (see my build thread). Best bet are solid billet ones, LA Supertrux make them for about £120 a set. Cheaper option are Greystone but are a bastard to fit!

I know loads of people have had no issue with the greystone spacers, BUT, i think the billet alloys ones i got from LA Supertrux are the dogs doo dahs!!!

Suzukis arent hubcentric, they are lugcentric.

I also have to ask why do you want spacers, there's no real need for them on a Suzuki.

It's because the tyres rub on the chassis at full lock, as the tyres are larger, only realised this after I drove it home there is enough space I think to use them without protruding from the arches many thanks for the replies.
