Wheel spacers

jimdiecks · 04-09-2010, 01:08 PM

I'm thinking about putting some 12mm spacers on my rear 162s. I've done some searching and people say to definitely take them off if you're bringing the car in for service related to the suspension.

Has anyone with spacers had any dealer issues when taking the car in for regular maintenance? I don't want to have to worry about taking the spacers off every time my car needs to get serviced.

Shouldn't be an issue bringing it into the dealer, doubt they will notice it unless they remove the wheels. However, you can easily take them off if you are at all worried.

with suspension issues, yes take them off...don't give them a reason to deny service on your suspension. Anything else, you can leave 'em as is.

I've always left them on no issues at all!
