Maybe, are they like hex shapped? or like washer type things?

I have some plastic hex type spacers. i think they are 1.5mm, i wish they were a bit thinner though.

You guys really should just consider cutting the fronts down to 24mm. If you space the wheels out too much you might find that the hex could spin in the 0 offset wheel, rendering the wheel useless.

True true, but where am i gonna get a lathe and a knife from?

Wouldn't you have to be extremely accurate? even if u cut it at 1 deg of by the end you might have a wheel which is larger at one end then the other.?...

The thing is to get the right width without stripping the hex in the wheel.

See Coxy & Bradds group at Eastern Creek next time you race there, there is always a tyre lathe there. A knife? Bunnings, Hardware house, Mitre 10, or if you are rich, your LHS.

Not really. The tyre on the lathe spins true. You are cutting vertically, so a 90 deg cut is all but impossible to screw up.

The thing is to get the right width without stripping the hex in the wheel.
No it is not the thing at all. Dont ignore advice, you are wrong. For a start you will have to space out all 4 wheels otherwise you will have wider track front to rear.............CUT THE WHEELS!!!
