   I have heard having spacers on the front of the saxo puts stress on the driveshafts.
   
   Is this correct with H&R trak+ spacers aswell?
   Whats the biggest width increase possible with 15" wheels?
   
   Cheers all for help
   
   Ps. i hope this is the right section for this

   I ran 25mm H&R Trak+ spacers for 15k on VTS/Pro Race 1.2's/VTR wheels, took them off then my driveshafts went...!

   Have you got any pics mate? Did they rub? Do you think it was spacers that added to driveshaft failure?

   On my project thread yeah. Now with 25's on OZ SuperT's:
   
   
   
   Only scrubbed on Pro Races, wider wheel. Lack of spacers yes, but my setup is pretty low too...
   
   Why are you spacering it though?

   LOL original reason why I did! Where you getting your spacers from? Do not get the spacers that require longer bolts - they are crap.

   Dunno yet mate will prob get H&R Trac+ ones that bolt to hub. I have been told the long bolt ones are bad but why as nearly 90% of the weight will be on the hubcentric bit and not the bolts?
