I've noticed that few of you are running wheel-spacers on your Zeds. It certainly fills out the guards better, but I'm curious about a few things like:
a) How strong/secure are these wheel-spacers? How safe is the car with them on ... in particluar when driven at the limit? Can a wheel fall of when fitted like this? Can they break?
b) Are they legal (in particluar here in VIC)?
I've noticed that most people fit 25mm spacers at the rear and 15mm at the front. I had a look at the pics, and the 25mm spacers seem a fraction too wide (IMHO). Looks like 20mm would be better in particluar if your car is lowered. Which brings up more questions:
c) Does anyone have 20mm spacers fitted at the rear?
d) Does anyone have problems with rubbing of the tyre on the guard with the 25mm spacers? In particular under full cornering load.
And last few questions:
e) How much do they cost (ie. all 4)?
f) Where does one buy them from?
g) Do they come in any sizes? Or just 15 and 25mm?
h) What is involved in fitting them onto a car? Do you need to replace/modify any of the existing parts (ie. wheel bolts)?
