This subject, i know has been around the forums a few times but i just want to make sure about it.
I have recently purchased The factory e30 bottlecaps with the intention of simply bolting them straight on. Of course this didnt happen, the edge hits the steering control ball joint. I have measured how much more clearance i would need and it needs at the very least 5mm extra. First question.
Is there a problem buying those slip on wheels spacers on ebay for like $30 aus?
Will this make the wheel rub on the arches or do unnecessary tyre wear?
Now im not certain about this but, are they by any chance illegal?

Thanks

Andrew.
