yeah id like to see what they look like. do the 30mm spacers have a detrimental affect on the handling and cause the wheel bearings a lot of extra stress?


Handling is improoved. We have gone 2" up, and 2" wider on the track. only concern is now we need to start thinking about wifer arches as out "wideboy" wheels are now a good inch outside the arches(our offroad Mud Tyres though are narrower and still inlone with the arches)


This has always been a topic of discussion, but to be honest spacers using standard wheels are no worse than fitting aftermarket wheels with a larger offset.
Yes they will put extra load and strain on bearings, but ask yourself a question .. would you be thinking the same question if you put a set of suzuki wideboy rims on ?

I have an article HERE

which covers most of the popular kits in the UK. Note that the Pro-Comp one at the bottom is no longer available and also that I don't think I have specific pictures of the Jimnybits lift kit which is popular, Gary from this forum has one of these fitted).

I also do not have UK pictures of the ones offered in my shop as they are new. Here are some promotional pictures I have, as you can see they left the standard tyres on which make it look slightly strange.
