I have room up front to push out my wheels about one inch. Where can I get 4 lug spacers? If I played my cards better, when I got my Panasports I would have had two made with a different backspacing to allow for the more room up front, but I was not wise. Are spacers generally considered ok for this? I know I would have to have longer lug bolts, or have longer studs put in. Anything else?

Spacers or adapters? Longer studs with spacers that slip over the studs are acceptable. The 930 used them and are acceptable for Timetrial, DE and AX.....adapters are not. More than an inch is where bearings start to get stressed.
