Anyone know where you can get 1'' MGB wheel spacers from? I am looking for the type with the stud extensions.

Thanks,
Jack

No its not. I have seen them and I'm quite sure they are for minis.

I actually nearly bought them until i saw at the top they were under the mini section. My aim is to widen the stance and fill my sebring arches. I have 7x15 wolf race alloys which don't quite look right when compared to how the 8x15 minilites fill arches. My eventual aim is to get some proper sized minilites but I would rather spend the funds elsewhere at the moment.

I'd read on the MGexp forums that the proper kits won't accelerate hub wear or fall off. They did suggest that certain kits should be avoided and recommended a couple of engineering outfits who build and supply the kits in the US which looked really nice. Proper CNC'd bits of kit. I had hoped there would be options over here in the UK.

Oliver did you ever feel bad selling off a naff kit which you didn't believe to be safe for your own use?

Agree, nothing beets the proper 8x15 minilites in the Sebring arches. I was just hoping to fill my arches better until I shred my current tyres.

Thanks for the views guys. It seems the British forums are far more cautious over spacers than the US ones. I think the yanks put widening and stance above all else. Not a bad thing, the monsters on the British V8 news letter are a great source of procrastination
