The use of spacers doesn't necessarily mean that the wheels are FWD as such - just that the offset isn't suitable for the donor vehicle and the use of spacers and longer wheel studs (usually) is a cheap get around. Spacers up to 1/2" aren't considered dangerous by racing folk and I tend to listen to what they say. If you have ACT rego you'll get black flagged for sure if they spot the spacers.

My car was engineered with TRX wheels, but currently has 15" Simmons - the problem is there's two spacers on each of the front, this indicates they're FWD wheels? What kind of basic measurements or observations should I be making to ascertain things are not dangerously dodgey? My car is a 1600 with 240K struts and brakes calipers and quite low.
