Wide body conversion, 3 inch Wheel Spacers in the rear, Any Problems or Concerns???
 
I'm certain that I'm not the first to ask but I'm a little concerned about using 3 inch spacers on my rear wheels to push the tires out to fill in the wide fenders. I bought high quality, German made spacers and spared no expense since it is a crucial and safety functional part. My question is simple, "How safe is it and how much stress would this result in on high speed conditions?" I don't want to end up losing an axle or tire on a turn, your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Alex

Sorry folks,

I just realized I put this question in the wrong forum, I intended it to go under the technical forum.

Regards,

Alex

My big concern would be the bearings. It sounds like you're canterlivering the wheel mounting point out by 3 inches. I'd be kind of worried.
