Spacers

My XK8 has the 1.25 wheel adapters on each side, because the Dayton wires I bought had a different bolt pattern. Be aware though, that the further the wheels come out from the car, the lower the car will sit, because the springs are working harder. It is a softer ride. You are also putting more strain on the wheel bearing.
Since no one makes a taller(stronger) front spring for the car, I installed rubber spring rings at the base of each spring, to keep the ride height correct, at least how I thought it should be. You can buy those spring rings at most auto parts stores, like Autozone.
You may as well buy new shocks and upper mounts at the same time, because you will need to disassemble the whole works to install the spacers at the base of the springs.....Good Luck.......Mike
