Alignment / wheel spacers

I have just removed 1/4" front and 1" rear spacers/adapters on my '87 Carrera. Does this have any impact on alignment? I upgraded from 16/6/7 Fuchs to 16/7/8s.

I thought it would not affect it, but another Pelican asked me about it and I really don't know.

Any thoughts?




Thanks in advance,

-Chris

Simply removing the spacers won't affect your alignment.

Very nice

They are perfectly tucked under the fender now. I cut into them pretty good on the run though - hope they are still OK.

Hey, let me know when you will be around one night after work this week, I'll show you the parts that I got at the lake.

Chris,
Do you want to sell the 1/4" spacers? I am fine tuning the spacing of my wheels. I live in Southern California. Also, no rush is necessary. A two weeks would be just great.

Thanks,

Doug

Hey Doug,

I will be selling all 4 of these (2 front 2 rear), but another Pelican has first crack at them. PM me your email with spacers in the title and I will keep you in the loop.

I should know this week sometime.

-Chris
