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?

QUOTE(Blake @ Nov 3 2003, 04:02 PM) The answer is simply that tire slip angles change the instant center of the turn, so that the front wheels need to be more parallel to each other to be geometrically correct. Also, the outside tire will assume a larger slip angle and do most of the steering, so too much Ackerman simply scrubs the inside tire across the track. Ackerman in determined by the angle of the steering arms off the hubs, relative to the centerline of the car. Like I said, first day stuff. Nice try. no $$$ tho. Trivia: did you know that the guys last name was "Ackerman" and that's why your "First Day Stuff" is called exactly that? look at my question, stupid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) i asked: "can you tell me what the word Ackerman actually means" as in, the meaning of the WORD Ackerman ... |
