Has any one had problems with 25mm hubcentric's ??

Just before I purchase some I need to know what the problems are ? Thanks in advance

It will increase the "scrub radius."

* Tyres will wear out faster (though if you're on decent tyres & not tracking it we're probably talking about tyres lasting 7000 miles with spacers instead of 8000 miles without)
* It WILL put a greater load on the wheel bearings (but again it's not as clear cut as saying it will half/quarter/etc the bearings life)
* Steering will feel heavier (good or bad, you decide)

Thanks man just wanted to know before spending the money on something that will cause problems

Is it lowered or on non-standard size wheels/tyres at all?

If so then it'd be best to hold on for more opinions as you could find yourself with knocking/scraping noises under full steering lock/full compression.

All standard suspension at them moment but I need to look into it all a bit more
