Improving Turning Circle - 110 CSW

[cotefarmboy]

Which is the best way to improve the poor turning circle on the 110 CSW?

I'm led to believe the options are wheel spacers (seem expensive at around £200) or change the alloys for ZU or similar with bigger offset?

Any experiences folks?

That's about it really, or cheaper Modulars that also have more offset

i've bought a set of spacers from Paddocks, they came in at around 150, which isn't bad. And it has really improved my very poor turning circle on my disco.

Found them on the Paddocks website, £135+ vat isn't bad at all.

How do you fit them then? Do I need an extra set of nuts or do they usually supply them?

[stuntman]

Hello again, nope you get the nuts included in the price.

You really need to thread lock them as well, make sure they are torqued up properly aswell, or just FT

I've had wheel spacers on mine for about 2 years. No problems so far, turning circle improved and the wheels actually reach the edge of the arches :D, also means they stick out wider than my mudflaps so more mud gets flicked onto the bodywprk (and me) when playing.

what width spacers and what type of wheels?

About 30mm with standard steel wheels.

Cheers. Am going to wolf rims and skinny tyres in near future rather than extreme muds and modulars but know they will look funny on truck so have been wondering about spacers for the cosmetics.

First things first, check that your lock stops are letting your wheels turn enough. you can adjust them so there is 5mm or so between the tyre and the radius arm on full lock.

If it's only about 30mm you're after, wheels with a bigger offset are a much better bet for the job than spacers - there is considerabley less to go wrong.

I rate the genuine Modulars as a fairly tough (and inexpensive wheel) that offers a much better offset than the standard rims.

I fitted a set of Mach 5s to my 110 to give some extra steering lock. Not a cheap option and gave about the same results as spacers. Personally I found the extra lock you get isnt that much for the hassle/expense.
