how do wheel spacers work?
StevieD,
Wheel spacers are basically a plate that you bolt on to your existing lugs. They have their own set of lugs on them and you bolt your tire back on to them, thus adding more width.
I am not possitive, but I think some of the issues with them are strenght. You are adding a lot of extra pressure on your original lugs. Another thing I have heard are geometric issues. Since you are basically just extending the ENDS of the a-arms horizontally to the ground. I don't know if what I just said makes much sense, but they say it's better to get longer a-arms instead. I would say the rear would be okay though (other than the strenght issue mentioned before).
Sorry I can't be of much help...I just wanted to get the ball rolling on this topic for you.

See www.sand-sport.com These are nice units, and extremely strong. I have bashed around the desert with these, with no problems. I used Durablue way back when, but didn't particularly like them!!
