Rear wheel fell off

[iwoo]

Thanks for the info on the spacers, i am not sure what the spacers are for, like i said I only got the truck last friday so I know very little about it.

The spacers just make the wheels stand out a bit more. The ones I mentioned above are 30mm thick, so push each wheel out by 30mm, widening the track of the Surf by a total of 60mm.

A wider track increases handling, but it's a Surf, not a sports car!!

Thos edon't look like standard surf alloys so my guess would be whoever sold it to you stuck 'em on to make it more sellable and didn't do it properly.

I think those alloys might have been an option. I've seen them on quite a few Surfs, including mine.

I also bought a set of what look to be identical spacers. I never got round to fitting them as the studs need to be cut down so that they fit properly, and I just never found sufficient time to bother. Don't think I will now, and I suspect they might turn up on ebay soon.

I got a set of those as a freebee when i got my mt's off ebay
tried them on the hub and then binned them as they looked so mickey mouse

How did you go about fitting the wheels, did the original wheel nuts fit?

[Woodzie]

The long Nuts that came with them fitted without a problem...Roughtrax do some nuts and i think Ian619 might know other suppliers as he has been looking for other types to fit after market alloys
