Hi guys -
did a search on wheel spacers and got millions of hits but no answers....so I'll post this up. Where do you find good wheel spacers, and what are the pro's and con's of doing the various options? for the width I'm looking for - it seems there is a "bolt on" that does not need new wheel studs, or the spacers that have longer wheel studs passing thru them. I've gone with a 5-lug drilled into the 4 lug hubs.... I was surprised at the weight of the 2" spacers 'bolt on', like 6+ lbs each?! Currently I'm leaning towards the 54MM, Weltmeister Turbo Star Wheel Spacer - found a pair on paragon for $144.....compared to $146 EACH for the bolt on version on the bird site. thoughts and knowledge sharing very appreciated! cheers td |

From my inspection of the '2012 PCA Club Racing Rule Book', I can't find anything about bolt on spacers or adapters. I looked at all the sections referring to Suspension as well as Brakes. I also searched the PDF and only found six occurrences of 'spacer' and none of them refer to material or technique (i.e. bolt on spacers/adapters aren't specifically restricted).
