the further the wheel is away from the hub the more leverage there is on the wheel bearing causing faster wear. 30mm will be enough im sure because its a big difference.......just over 1" on each side!

what he said,

also poor quality ones, people have had bad experiances with them breaking.

you considered offset wheels?

these should give you about 20mm each side

agreed offset wheels are best but if using wheel spacers then get the bolt on ones that are cnc'd not the cast ones (they work ok but can cause problems) i use wheel spacers no problems
