we have ran karts for 6 years now and mowers for two and my kart has the spacers you buy and sometimes u find yourself in a  pickle were if you put this spacer on your rim will rub the spindle arm and when you put this spacer on your wheel is to fare out, and with the washers its really a good way to fine tone things for handling
