What Do Wheel Spacers Do?

What Do Wheel Spacers Do?

Wheel spacers are modified parts placed between the hub assembly and the wheel, the role is to push the wheel to the outside of the vehicle, providing more space between the hub assembly and the wheel, wheel spacers as aftermarket parts are a common cost-effective product, commonly used in street racing and off-road vehicles.

The most important thing is that wheel spacers do not move the wheel hub assembly, but only the wheel position, which can solve most people’s problems with the vehicle’s stance. As an aftermarket part, wheel spacers are not pre-installed on any car, the thickness of wheel spacers depends on the usage scenario, most street racing cars will choose 15mm-35mm wheel spacers to meet specific modification needs, while off-road cars need a larger thickness of wheel spacers to improve the vehicle’s passing performance.

One of the main benefits of wheel spacers is improving the handling of the vehicle. When the car turns, the wheel spacers reduce roll due to the off-center of gravity and make the car more stable by widening the left and right wheel spacing. This improves the overall handling, grip, and cornering performance of the vehicle.

Wheel spacers allow for bigger wheels or tires, many sports car owners need to modify wider tires to get more friction between the tires and the ground, extra traction, and better handling.

Vehicles for off-road use often choose to modify tires taller than the stock tires, bigger tires can help the vehicle better through complex roads, without wheel spacers, these wider and larger tires may rub with wheel wells or inner fenders.

Wheel spacers effectively adjust wheel depressions, changing the style of your vehicle.

Conservative spacers will allow your wheels to sit flush with the fenders, which many people find attractive.

Radical spacers will add a more personal touch to the vehicle, creating a look that stands out from stock vehicles.
