Just wondering,has anybody had any experience with wheel spacers on our panda 4X4s,i was looking at maybe using 10mm eibach spacers,nothing more on the 4X4,just to push the wheels out a tiny bit !!are ther any side effects to doing this!

You will be putting more stress on the wheel bearings.

you think so chris?even with 10mm spacers? suppose its down to the physics,and spread weight of the car?

You put stress on the car just by driving it! i think 10mm will be negligible - maybe change he wheel bearings at 50k instead of 60k???

I got to admitt I don't like them but that's just preference, you will however need longer bolts.

If you going to do it.. is it worth doing it by 1cm each side?

Thanks for the objective points of views guys,i was just wondering if it had been done,i dont in any way want to make my valdisere look daft sticking the wheels out,just thought it might look and drive better if the little 13inch wheels were not so far in the arches!geez am i becoming an anorack or what!!!

If that's the only reason I wouldn't bother, if not fitted & centralised properly they can cause all sorts of problems + if you do go off road in deep mud there's a good chance that in reverse your mud gaurds will be ripped off (and that's without any spacers)
