You can use a quick release or just a regular spacer. If you tell me how much you want to extend the wheel I can make you an aluminum spacer as I'm making a couple of them anyways within the next few weeks.

Just an example. This is the Sparco spacer, not sure if it would fit a Mugen wheel and adapter, but.....

Someone was advertising 3mm spacers in the Best Buys forum this week. $20 too.

OMP makes a pretty trick unit, but the price is a little steep at $200 CAD ($19.95 US)

Not with an airbag.


Just FYI, I had a hub spacer on for a couple of days and did not like it for the street. I wasn't able to extend my finger on my left hand and hit the blinker while still gripping the wheel. It was irritating enough for me to remove the spacer.

That's because you broke all your fingers.

I have the Smart QR, but didn't find it to be all that irritating. Can still reach the signal stalk with the tip of finger.
