Thinking of adding these to my Disco to widen the track, anyone else using spacers and does it upset the road handling at speed?

Wheel bearings will wear faster

I've had 30mm or 60mm spacers on my RR or Disco since 2001 and never changed a bearing yet.

I'm sure some people have got through loads of bearings.

So far.

But I fully agree with the principle then can wear sooner.

i have some fitted to mine,looks better,i wouldnt say much notacable diffrence in handling,and its not going to make too much diffrence to bearing wear but will obviously put some extra stresson them,overall i am happy with the way it looks and performs with them on

It would be wise to use some heavy duty thread lock when putting the spacers on. Once bolted on, there's no quick way to check the nuts.

How are you 'lifting it a little'? I wanna lift mine (and spacers) but everyone keeps telling me not too!
