|
|
|
just so you all know, I bought a set of 32mm spacers Suzuki sj compatible on e-bay.
the seller stated no returns, when they arrived they were 1.5 thread not 1.25 thread Suzuki compatible!
I tried to return the item but as the buyer has labled no returns I cant.!!!! this also applies to item doesn't match description as it is de-facto a return.
The only way forward with this is to be very polite and take it up with pay pal who take 20 days to refund
I just thought I would share this with you as someone thought it was ok to sell the wrong size stud spacers to me and let me drive on the open highway..... see where I am going?

Only business sellers have to accept returns - always an idea to look at the bottom of the listing to see if there is business seller information
Item not as described applies to all sellers as far as I'm aware

I must admit i don't like that sort of spacer due to the problem you are showing in your picture,have also heard of cases where the studs shear not good news.

I'm with you on this one - studs shearing, the stud adaptor being slightly too long causing wheel wobble and the cast aluminium spacer breaking up - all cases I've heard of.
Better to save for a billet aluminium set...

If they were illegal how would you prove that they were fitted? Except in the case when they caused an accident and it would be too late then.

legality be damned, thos spacers are lethal.
Please don't risk it, fit billet ones.

Ive been running those spacers for nearly 8 years now... same set on 2 different zooks and never had an issue with them!
Although to be fair mine are the correct thread and they do fit together well!

I used to have the same type of spacers on my Samurai too, and that went through some serious off roading during it's life with me. I never had any problems at all. I admit I didn't think they were the best type of spacers available, but they came fitted on the truck when I got it, and I never got around to changing them.
I've got billet ones on my GV now, and they seem considerably stronger and better designed.
