Thinking of changing my rimstock alloys on s2 k series, but seems you need wheel spacers for rears if you fit exige y type spider alloys, Cant even get aftermaket rims without using spacers.
Not sure i like idea of a 20mm thick alloy rim holding my rear wheels on.?
anyone used them.?
Wheel spacers Yes or no.??

Hub centric spacers are fine, not cheap but if you have to use a spacer then this is the type to use.polarexpressed wrote:Thinking of changing my rimstock alloys on s2 k series, but seems you need wheel spacers for rears if you fit exige y type spider alloys, Cant even get aftermaket rims without using spacers.

Formerly known as S1mon 
I have used hubs enteric spacers before, get some quality items from someone you trust and there should not be an issue.

So have I - No issues - actually make popping the wheels on and off easier, having studs to slide the wheels onto, instead of the OEM nuts.Mark H wrote:Been using these for years with no issues both on the road and track:
