Im sure someone must have asked before about if there is anything needs doing e.g. tracking when you fit wheel spacers Ive put it in search but it came up with "The first Marea Turbo ?Build Thread"

There is no need to do tracking if you just putting on spacers, only if you do anything with suspension e.g shocks, wishbones e.t.c
 
you dont have to check the track on the car if you have fitted spacers but i would anyway as you change the s.a.i angle on the suspension(steering axsis inclenation)after maybe 50 miles of driving alow the suspension to settle into its new position!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
IME it is not necessary unless large spacers are being used (12mm+).

You can get universal cheapo ones that have lots of holes in to fit pretty much any car..

Hubcentric ones that are PCD specific eg for fiat 4x98 and the sit on properly

And the best type which normally come in bigger size which actually bolt to the hub then the wheels bolt in the spacer... (very expensive though)

tis a bit early for thinking I see what you mean now they are the hubcentric type sold by Sparco
 
They'll be fien then obviously check the bolts are long enough as some I got supplied with beofre were too short :rolleyes:

Also i'd say to get the tracking checked as most places will check it for free and only charge if it's out (y)
