    Wheel Spacers

    Thought I'd consult the oracle(s)

    Does anyone know if the Discovery 1 wheel spacers advertised at Scorpion racing are legal Down Under?

    You know the ones that fit between the wheel and the hub to widen the wheelbase.

    I am braced for the onslaught of knowledge


    Cheers

    Jason

    I'm sure that wheel spacers on vehicles not designed to use them is illegal, but it may vary state to state

    Not legal unless it came from the factory with wheel spacers.

    Spot on, not factory, then no. "The fitting of spacers or adaptors between wheels and hubs, additional to any provided by the vehicle manufacturer, is not permitted." Qld. Transport
