Other than widening out your wheeltrack and making your ride look cooler and more squat - do wheel spacers give you any performance advantage? (Hi Jack...)

they were inexpensive, i'll admit. but, if you know anything other than imports, you know that trans dapt is a highly respected name in domestic performance.

Means that they utilize the factory hub to keep the wheels centered on the axle and hub. Some models use lugcentric mounting to center wheels. Maximas use hubcentric mounting.

it basically so they dont move around while driving and can cause issues....my H&Rs are pretty tight tolerance to the lug as well as being Hubcentric
