ARE SPACER PLATES LEGAL? And you might need longer studs to then

There not in NSW and yes you will need longerr studs, sorry i am keeping mine. Rules must be different in VIC as i saw alot of spacered wheels whilst at the mini muster. Only guessing but it must be alright down there?( i am Unsure)

Cheers

Noted. Had Meeni asked for spaced rear drums I would have pointed him in the direction. These aren't the typical spacers. They are the ones Jan has on Mutant. They bolt to the mini hub and can be any (reasonable) thickness and any stud pattern. They are used for fitting just about any new wheel to old school cars.

hmm, i wish i was going to spend that much on them, mutants ones are great!, but, i dont have that much, oh i wish i did

Why don't you just get some new spaced drums, there about $70 each and legal. Is it just the rear you need or all round?

Whats the width of your wheels, I have wood and pickett arches in my van
<----
I am running 10x6 "minilights" with spaced drums and they are only just neatly tucked away. 10x5's would look good also. Obviously the offset is where it counts.
