Hey fellas,

I got my new rims on Tuesday.

However, the tyre place needed to use a 5mm spacer?

I always thought these were illegal?

The tyre joint assured me these are legal?

What should I do? Any thoughts?

Yeah well, you would hope these guys would know what they were doing when they fitted the new wheels?

They put on the rims, and they didnt quite fit, and their solution was to fit 5mm spacers.

You put trust in someone (supposedly professionals in their field)and they find a way to fusk it up?

Got them through Jack baker tyres (tyrepower mile end)

they fit them, stripped the rubber from my original rims, then realised the new rims didnt quite fit at the rear.

Their solution was a 5mm spacer for each rim at the rear.

I told them that I thought this was illegal, they just swore it was legal and it would be fine?

Not happy really, dont know what my options are really?
