Fully agree on both points.

Chris,

Any form of spacer either requires longer wheel studs, or two sets of studs and nuts per wheel. Both are dangerous, and hence illegal in Australia. Trouble is, they are in use by those that think they can use them legally.

Just like stretched tyres, ride height alterations, etc etc etc.
