Title: CJ wheel spacers
Post by: Bulldog67 on January 03, 2009, 02:54:08 PM
Am i makin the right assumption the sj/vitara wheel spacers will also fit the CJ7 as they have the same stud pattern?

Cheers

You spotted 'em on eBay too eh?
Dont worry I'm not interested!

Yes they SHOULD fit a CJ I can't see why not.

You thinking of putting the spacers on one of your V8 powered CJs?

not really related but just read that one of the Hummer models uses the same axle as a CJ (AMC20)

yup, the 401 is in the process of a 4" lift and some bushwackers (tacky, but gloriously tacky :lol: ) so will be gettin 33's by spring, wanna get some cheap spacers so i can see what its like without gettin pissed off at the money loss if i dont like it, seems new 32mm suzuki go for approx £50 or less via fleabay

it looks like the 360 is gonna be gettin an mot and will have to be shown the door

bubba has some spyder trax ones. they are solid ones with proper built in studs. or your other option is to keep an eye out for some more rims with a bigger off set. its no use building a truck that looks cool if it is not safe for you to be in mate. take your time and do it right. 8-)

the link was 4wd. ya just cant beat em. 8-)

yeah, sorry, meant bugga ive just ordered stuff from 4wd, so i expect the shippin woulda been less if i had included them in that parcel.
But yer right, every time i try and order elsewhere coz its a bit cheaper they fuck me over on shippin so i always go back to 4wd coz their shippin is usually half the others. Plus they answer emails, which is a rarity it seems with the US!!

if we were rich it would be kinfa nice to group order stuff

could have a sticky for orderin for stuff that folk aint in a hurry for, we could then just wait until there is a decent order, but dunno how u would work out the shippin charges for each bit, suppose it could just be done on weight and split that way, but expect there would be flaws in that?
