Region: Southern England

On a B you will need to do the A friend Hack n' Slash to the rear of the front arch to stop them from catching. A tweak on the torsion bars may help.
Spacers may or may not help here.

Spacers will widen the track of the vehicle.
In theory this should aid stability when cornering and reduce the likelihood of rolling on side slopes. Another benefit would be a reduced turning circle but I imagine this would be marginal.
Suspension may well be a little more supple as the distance from the fulcrum point has increased but again marginal.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

hi mate, spacers wont help you with your problem they will only push the wheels out a bit further giving you a slightl wider track
what you need is the A friend big tyres on a b series thread - viewtopic.php?f=41&t=8359&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Personally i wouldn't consider fitting spacers as nearly all that i have seen are unspigoted , placing the whole weight of the vehicle on the studs .... Add to that the extra load on the wheel bearings that will eventually lead to premature failure of a new bearing , let alone one that has 90k + on it .
