    wheel spacers

    Im looking at getting wheel spacers for my t3 and i was wondering how you guys would rate them. Are they strong? and do they strip out or bend easy. thanks

    I have them on mine and havent had a problem at all. I changed to a grade bolt with the nylon nuts(to keep from backing off). I wouldnt get those single extensions, get the one piece spacer system. I have an extra pair somewhere, but If I find them I think they might be spoken for............peace

    It all depends on what type of spacers you get. I am not sure of names but some look very cheaply made ( IMO ).

    Bending: Wheel spacers shouldn't bend. But they will put more stress on your axle so you could end up bending it easier.

    I have them on my one R, like Scott said I used grade bolts and nylon locking nuts too. I like them and would recommend them.
