WHEEL SPACERS
Will 30mm wheel spacers increase fuel consumption? or decrease? or no effect at all? :?

Re: WHEEL SPACERS
self don't believe it has any influence on fuel consumption
however
it does put extra strain on wheel bearing
benefits to handling? on our quads it made a huge difference, as it will surely make on any other vehicle
on my Courier, had mags fitted when I bought it
my father has a Mazda also 4X4, same thing, just original rims
the only difference is the wheels
where my wheels have a deep dish, pushing the wheels out, similar to having spaces
and my Bakkie's handling is way better
30mm is not so bad, some of our quads have 50mm spaces
go for it, fit them
good luck
