I don't think spaced drums are expensive (about $80 a pair I think!?!) not worth messing about really

edit: for brand new ones, look about!

I believe they are illegal.

edit: (add-on spacer I mean)

think about what u have o do to fit spacers,

u still need longer wheel studs, so when going to the effort replace the drums, atleast u know u will stop then

That would be the best way of going , (not sure on how good the price is as I haven't looked for new spacered drums for a while , hang on , rememberred I have 2 new ones in boxes downstairs that came with a heap of other bits I bought and the mini car clinic price sticker said $59 per drum , not sure about current price though) definitely best to get new studs rather than re-use old ones that you don't know the history of .
