For that matter I don't like the  aluminum ones design either.

Well hell then ;D  Found these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Two-1-5-Wheel-Spacers-4-156-4-110-3-8-Lug-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588d19249eQQitemZ380324357278QQptZMotorsQ5fATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
They would have a more solid contact surface, better??

Afraid the tire wheels will flex enough to rub the arms, might only be 1/4".

Carl

I am not seeing a problem with the .5 inch clearance that you have.  If the wheel is going to flex that much there is a bigger problem. I have less then that on my big car and not had it rub or hit.  I know my rim's are thicker but still.  As long as it maintains the .5 from top to bottom you golden.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.
