Does anyone have any experiences with this. Any drawbacks?? Where can I get them?   Rick Neff (Lostinboston) Member Username: Lostinboston Post Number: 63 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 11:30 am:    wheeladapters.com or roveraccessories.com -rick   Mike Shoemaker (Shoe) New Member Username: Shoe Post Number: 18 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 09:51 pm:    I had a set and loved them. just sold them on ebay. they make the disco look so much cooler and handle better to. worth the money.   Mike Bauer (Mikeb) Member Username: Mikeb Post Number: 128 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 10:30 pm:    Any time you add spacers and/or mount wider tires, you run the risk that the tires will no longer stuff inside the fenderwell. You may have to either add a much taller bump stops or cut out the fenderwells (or both). Another downside is that if the spacers are off center even a tiny bit you will get a shimmy. Also, spacing the tire further out from the hub adds additional stress to the lugs and the bearings. Thanks, Mike B.
