Hi
I have fitted two sets of 32 mm spacers from 'that well known auction site' with extended studs/nuts at about £40 per pair about 2 years ago. It increases track and stability and also looks better  HTH
Cheers
David

Hi,
I saw some on flea bay last week, went for £48ish. They were for 6 studs.
I'll let you know if I see anymore.

I've always understood that using wheel spacers upsets the inset/outset dimensions of your wheels and can lead to problems like bump steer.
Have you experienced any problems?

I forgot to add extra stresses on wheel bearings, wouldn't this also be the case?

Wheel spacers can put more stress on the bearings, but I have used them on my Disco with no problems.
The Bronco ones are very good as its a solid high quality piece of aluminium that bolts onto the hub and then there are new studs that the wheel bolts too, much stronger set up than extending the original studs.
