4 lug spacers, Yea, or nay Options

[ChrisReale]

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?

Man you are chasing your own tail...
It's pretty fun reading though

If you mean excruciatingly redundant, then I agree. I keep saying it and these geniuses keep pretending I'm saying something completely different!

Anyone, Puleeeeeze, show me where I said wheel spacers on 914s were going to kill you or necessarily create a problem other than increased bearing loads (a fact, btw)? Show me how I DIDN'T say "I take no position" and "I won't say 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10 inch spacers..." or "The only people who can tell you for certain that any change is safe would be engineers doing a proper analysis." and the hundred other comments to that effect. Since that time, people have pointed out that the factory apparently changed the offset for some cars, and I stated that is good enough for me. Case closed (for those particular offsets), as far as I'm concerned. Now, it's just a pissing match with people who have poor reading comprehension and a shaky understanding of the dynamics involved. Lucky me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
