Would anyone know if wheel spacers are allowed at Bonneville? The project Im working on needs another 3/4 inch of space so the rear tires do not rub the inner body surface. Longer studs and a properly machined spacers will cost a lot less than custom built wheels so the reason for the question. No mention is made in the rule book 2.G Wheels or on the inspection sheet.

I have used wheel spacers at Bonneville and nobody ever noticed or said anything about them. But I never used 3/4 inch spacers. Don't think I would be comfortable with that.

That's why they make lotsa washers - so you can just stack 'em tall enough to take up the desired amount of slack. :cheers: :cheers: :roll:

We've gone over 200 and set records with 3/4-inch spacers -- for the same reason you want to use them.

I run steel spacers on the rear axle of my Roadster, over 200 mph, no issues.
