Spacers...

[transio]

By the way, that picture doesn't look like a spacer - it looks like a bolt-pattern adapter, which won't work with your stock wheels.

Be careful and make sure you get what you think you're getting.

Ok, looked at the auction... it's an adapter/spacer. They used adapter technology, but with the same bolt-pattern. I guess this will improve balancing when you mount your wheels. Should work well enough for street use, though I personally hate adapters because the wheel is bolted to a flimsy chunk of aluminum instead of directly to the hub.

IMPORTANT!!! If you plan on offroading your Vehicross DO NOT use adapters or adapter/spacers as pictured above!!! The flimsy aluminum will fail and your wheels will fall off!

This is a hubcentric spacer:



Notice that the lug bolts go right through it and attach the wheel directly to the hub, which is a much stronger setup. Also, the hubcentric ring at the center will maintain the true centering of the wheel. When using a spacer like this, you have to be sure to get longer lug bolts, or else you could shear the threads and (you guessed it) your wheels will fall off.

Use this crap, and you will get what you deserve. Word to the wise.

^^^^ What he said! ^^^^

There are few spacers, very few, that are even worth considering. And those are usually very specific to their application and purpose. There's just no substitute for the correctly fitted wheel, which eliminates all the weak links a spacer puts into the fray.

And Tone, I'm surprised you didn't bring this a bit more forward now that you're in the Mercedes Benz camp. They're one of the few OEM's to spec and use exceptionally high-quality spacers in some situations.

Are the ghosts of all those you ran off the board for no longer being VX owners coming back to haunt you?

thanks everybody for answers it realy helped me and give me some ideas about it. Well im not planning offroading a lot maybe sometimes but most times i just drive on normal roads. The reason i want spacers is to make tires looks better. I wanted maybe like inch or more out the fender so it looks nicer and i never used spacers before so thats why i asked what positive and negative thing about it.
So if im planning driving most time on regular roads and speed sometimes around 100 it would be okay if i have spacers? i just dont want my tires fail off when im driving its not fun =) The link i post before the one i found on ebay said they will fit with VX so what you think should i get them or try find some other ones?
Thanks
P.s sorry for spelling before i know i confuse many people =)

Geez people, I know I'm a smartass, I'd think you'd all be used to it by now!

But seriously, I wasn't really picking on his spelling as much as I wanted to know what he was trying to do. I actually thought he was talking about a body lift kit or something.
