Has anyone else had problems with wheel spacers? I used to have a set on the rear of my 300 the hubs broke while I was racing, I called up the seller and they said that if the wheel spacers are not broken they can't give me a refund. What I find to be really ****ty is they didnt break but they ruined the hubs which was a $100 fix......

Alot of people have problems with wheel spacers while racing. It would be better just to go with an extended axle.

wheel spacers are more of a hazard unless you have IRS. Wheel spacer in the front cause bump steer. Wheels spacers in the rear on a straight axle break axles and hubs.

What difference does it make if you have IRS or not? You're still putting too much stress on lugs and hubs.

Also wheel spacers in the front do NOT add any bumpsteer what so ever.

They do offer more "feedback" through the bars, but that is not bumpsteer.
