wheel spacers/offset rims

Post by reeceole »

I was wondering how wheel spacers work? Is it something that fits on the stud? Do wheel spacers and offset rims achieve the same thing?? :?

wheel spacers bolt onto the studs then the wheel bolts onto the wheel spacer

Do you have power steering. More pressure the wider you go,on steering and stub axles.

definitely not allowed on road and they do put a lot more strain on wheel bearings etc. but so do big offset rims. Can get them from superior engineering (they use snake i think), snake racing themselves and bbm that I know of but they aint cheap.
