Question : Would the 16" and 17" space savers both have similar rolling circumferences?? There might be a minor difference, but if too great would it not throw ABS fault as the car would think one wheel constantly travelling at an "unnatural" speed?? -just thinking out loud.
Would a 5mm spacer throw the wheel off the caliper?? You could make a ply dummy to test the theory.. Cheers Bob |

Having different circumference wheels will not normally cause problems with the ABS, the system can handle that, it monitors the relative speeds of the wheels.
