Question:

Wheel spacers choice?

I own a 97' Geo Tracker 4x4 two door with 15 inch, 5 lugnut rims. I'm looking into getting some spacers so that it handles better on the road and to improve the overall looks. http://www.amazon /Topline-65506550-5-5-Adaptor/dp/B001P2FOCG/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qid=1308016901&sr=8-29These are some spacers I've found but, I do not know whether or not they are capatible with my wheels.Any input would be nice.

Answer:

Wheel spacers are a bad idea and can be very dangerous. Because they sit between the hub and the wheel, this can cause you to have insufficient stud threads for the lugnuts to hold on, and can cause one or more wheels to come off, usually at the worst possible time like trying to avoid something in the road. Moving the center of the wheels out also puts additional stress on the wheel bearings and hubs, which can cause those to fail. And as an indication of the danger, a friends car almost burned to the ground when a wheel bearing went bad on the highway, it started to catch the grease on fire.
Sean is right, spacers screw up your suspension geometry. Your Geo will handle worse, not better. Look at it this way...does any car manufacturer have spacers in the original spec? No, they do not, there is a reason.
