| ![]() Gentlemen, please allow me to clarify on the B-pillar being black. The 3.0 DiCOR has B pillars black across the range. The 2.2 VTT doesn't. You guys are not taking this into consideration. |

wheel spacers have nothing to do with ride quality. its just used to make your tyre jut out the body line of the vehicle without the need to upgrade to fatter tyres. its just a ring type element which will be placed in between the wheel hub and your wheel which will push your wheel outside. but such an attempt can affect the dynamics of your vehicle at high speeds. |

Are spacers and wheel cnetering ring two different things ? If the effect of spacer is to centre the hub properly why should it affect the bearings ? | |

Spacers radically increase the forces acting on the wheel bearings, thereby reducing the life of the bearings. These are dynamic forces and impact loading, which have rather severe effects that you can barely guess intuitively. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Here's mine. This has been my family tourister since the last one year. I enjoyed all my drives on it. ALMOST 15 k IN 1 YEAR WITH 12-13 k ON HIGHWAYS. On her anniversary, I gifted her with her boots(Alloys). |
