    Wheel Spacers

    Has anyone ever put a wider track on a williams using wheel spacers?

    Eibach make a range of spacers that push the wheels out further from 10mm to 50mm in 10 mm incriments inbetween.

    If so what were ppl's opinions of this upgrade?

    I wouldn't go more than 10mm, its suprising how much stress they put on wheel bearings.

    See ya

    aside form the obvious extra load on the bearings, it wont have the same effect as actual wide track, since basically u altering the suspension geometry in a n adverse way

    lol, ok

    the effect to anyone that isnt clued up on a proper suspension set-up maybe "better handling".....however i can guarantee that it wont be right
