    Yep …… I wasn’t being a tightarse buying them online. I was after 2 matching spares to the existing tyres on my Cross6, and that was the only way to get them.
    I just wanted the tyres fitted, no warranty requested, nor haggling about fitting cost.
    Just a blunt ‘No, mate we don’t do that’. Missed out on a 100% profit on their labour cost.

    Nah, not talking about those kind of spacers. The kind you're talking about are rings for rims to suit different center bore sizes. Slip on or bolt on spacers will make the wheel come out more to clear the struts or brakes. I had to use 8mm slip on's and extended studs to make my wheels clear 6 piston calipers. You could probably use 4mm spacers without extended studs but I'd advise on using those special lug nuts.

    Thanks to everyone who posted replies, when I found the correct place to go, they sorted it out straight away. I ended up with no mods, simply 245/35/19 asynchronous tyres from East Coast Tyres in Tuggerah.
