   Good morning,
   
   Please forgive my lack of knowledge,
   
   My wheels have the worst spacers on them (Non hubcentric and are universal)
   
   Take a look at my car:
   http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=406002
   
   It has 20mm Uni spacers on all 4 wheels,
   
   Can someone tell me will it be a problem if i take them off because its lowered?
   
   Thanks,
   
   Stu

   ac services search on google £94 for 4 hubcentrix spacers 20mm is to much for a uni fit spacer

   you will have problems not running spacers 20mm is alot no doubt they will be scraping allover the place without, best to get some hubcentrics

   Sometimes theyre fine,sometimes they aint depending on the tyres and wheels.
   
   Takes 5 minutes to try out so give it a go. Will get a definite answer then rather than us lot guessing at a 50/50!

   Well, Turns out the wheels wont even go on if the spacers aren't there!
   
   So i have just fitted them as well as i can trying to get them lined up perfectly straight with the spacers.

   My car is dropped and i havent run spacers... it all depends how how much wide you tyres are or if you axle is sagging.
