I just finished putting on rovertym HD springs and billstein shocks on my 99 D1 and now I'm ready to put on 265/75 16 Dunlop Radial Rovers. I've already done the rear fender flare discussed in the tech section as well. My local tire store has ordered the tires-- will they have any problem doing this mount or is there anything else I need to do to accomodate these tires. I was searching the rovertym website and came across wheel spacers -- what are these for? Looking for help. |

wheel spacers push the wheels outward by whatever the thickness of the spacer is (like stacking washers).
Sometimes it's better to NOT push the wheels outwards when you're trying to fit bigger tires - the tires have more room if they stay tucked inside the wheel wells rather than pushed out where they'll hit the fender lip.
wheel spacer do, however, increase your turning radius since the wheels are pushed outwards and you can therefore turn the wheels in a tighter circle. |

wheel spacers move your wheels out away from the hub. They attach to the hub and then the rim attaches to the spacer.. It adds a little more offset. |
