Wheel spacers on Rear Of leaf sprung GU

Post by Burdy »

Im looking at putting a set of wheel spacers on the rear of my GU to make the wheel track the same width as the front and to stop the tyres rubing on the chassis with narrower rear diff,would i have any issues running wheel spacers all the time and will the wheel bearing wear out any different or quicker with them on.Ive also measured the wheel track width from outside of tyres front and rear and came up with 1880 rear diff and 1990 front diff so there's 110mm approx in difference with the wheel track so could i run 25mm wheel spacers in the rear and would that solve my issue with the tyres rubing on the chassis

Hey mate,

You would need 55mm spacers to be same as front, 50mm off the shelf is close enough.

I cant say for sure anything about your bearings, but the bearings in a coil truck are huge!....And yours are bigger.
