wheel spacers aren't safe, IMO. Fix the problem, don't add another.

don't wheel spacers eat up your hub bearings pretty quick?

I don't think the OP has even bothered to read our suggestions. Isn't that considerate when they ask for help, we give it and they don't bother to even read it.

yea, b/c your tire is farther out, it has more leverage against the bearing, wide tires can have the same effect
