I had about 8 from memory.Can't comment on the legality side of things but then again everythings illegal in WA so I gave up worrying about it along time ago.

xlnt6 Donating Members 350 Member For: 20y 8m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 30/03/06 12:46 PM Share Posted 30/03/06 12:46 PM Chris,Those spacers pictured are 25mm thick, and a way to thick. They will cause you all sorts of guard clearance problems. The upside of those spacers are they are legal cause they attach to the disc hub and then provide another set of studs to mount the wheels to. But like I said they are too wide. Go with the min thickness required.Robin.
