    Wheel spacers

    I know people have mixed feelings about them...
    But for the mild trail use I see and mostly road driving I would like to have a turning radius again..
    my tires are rubbing the springs at full lock..

    Are there any places to pick up a set cheap so I can try them out?

    Not sure where you could get them cheap. Of course, I'm not too sure I'd want to go cheap with something that is so basic to my safety.

            A while back, I was given a set of wheel spacers to try out on my 1980 Stage One 109. These were supposed to make me 20% more attractive to women and
