Spacers - worthwhile or not? was created by little jimny
I've read a few posts on here about folk who have used the cheap 32mm spacers and are well pleased with them, but I'm worried that using spacers would put an extra load on the wheel bearings. Fortunately my Jimny doesn't suffer from the infamous death wobble - would spacers upset this at all?

Had 32mm spacers on for 16 months and no problems so far, in fact my 12 year old Jimny has just sailed through the MOT with no advisories !!!

definitely do it ;)

makes the truck more stable widening the wheel base
will also be a BIG help in the snow as it'll allow the Jimny the follow the ruts made by "normal wheelbase" sized cars.

personally I think those more expensive spacers would only be necessary for hard offroading, but if you were doing that, then I reckon you'd have offsets on anyway :unsure:
