33"s fitted! Just..

AlexD333 · 20-02-2015, 19:49

So fitted the 33"s today... Not without its problems, could not even turn the wheel they were catching so bad (wheel spacers on)

We did some extensive hammering which helped somewhat, still catching bad, after removing the wheel spacers at the front is cleared quite nicely, followed by some more hammering

What do you guys think? Rear spacers on, fronts off.

Cheers Rick and cheers chaps!!

I thought I was going to have to pay an emergency visit to you rick for some sledge hammer action but the hammer at work seems to have done the trick.

I have been out and trying to make the wheels rub and catch I cannot..

Only thing I would like to do is put the front spacers back on as we had to take them off due to catching

elty001 · 21-02-2015, 00:38

I had to do some serious cutting and welding to keep my spacers on.

Looks good mate

perelaar · 17-03-2015, 10:06

Why the spacers, actually? Are they there for a functional reason (helping off road?), or just for pleasing the eyes?

elty001 · 17-03-2015, 10:35

on my standard wheels when I fitted bigger tyres they where catching so I fitted spacers.
I have left mine on for stability as I have got body lift,suspension lift and 33" tryes so puts a bit of extra width on the track.
when funds allow I will get a set of wheels with a better off set and get rid of the spacers.

Makes sense now, thanks!
