Anyone running wheel spacers that bolt on to the existing studs and increase track width?

These

Yes, I have 1.25" spacers on my Pajero just to fill out the flares. It gave me more stability through the corners at highway speed. You cannot go any less than 1.25 without cutting your studs. More than 2 or 3 your adding unnecessary stress to your suspension components. You also !MUST! torque and re torque when installing them. Treat them like a tire. Also re check them every so often so you know they are on tight. Bad news if the loosen off. But that's true with your tires too.

Reduces turning radius however in a tippy Delica the added stability would be a benefit. If upgrading the suspension you won't notice much difference but with all stock it will give a noticeable feel.

Cheers

Beautiful! Thanks for the advice

You're welcome. ...and don't call me beautiful

Lol

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

Looking for some more feedback on these. Looks like I got stuck with some 100mm center bore rims, thinking of using these to overcome the 108mm center bore requirement. Anyone of any experience with this?

Thanks,

Steve

I had those on my Samurai for a long time. First, you have to torque them very well. Second, your steering may wander quite a bit on highway speed. Try to make the front toe in slightly may help. Actually, I rather look for better off set wheels.

This is the more prudent course. Always better to offset with the wheels and not spacers.

If you feel your vehicle is too 'tippy' for your liking, maybe you should look for something else to drive.

May be the springs are too soft at the rear. Mine is like that. Sway quite a bit on high speed cornering (on highway of course). L300 seems better because leaf springs are more rigid.
