Vertigo wheel adapters

[PrjctStrtFrce]

After installing these adapters with my new wheels, I notice that there is a little bit of slop when I pick one side up and wiggle the wheel in and out. It did not have this with the stock hubs/wheels on. I would say about .5-1mm in play. Is this amount okay, or should I try to get some shims on the axle?

I did a search under main forums to find a thread with answer to your question. I also need to order having the same problem on my MT.

But let's see if some one else chimes in to make sure it's correct before ordering.

So it looks like we need a little washer/shim on there. I wonder if the local hardware store has anything that thin.

Is it "okay" to drive with that slop? Will the axles and shafts get worn out or get stressed quicker?
