Been running spacers for 3 years on my M1 Abrams tank and launching it at the drag strip with all 6,000ft. lbs of torque from its 4 rotor wankle and never had a problem.
I’ve had some for a year now, never re-tightened the tops, done 160mph+ multiple times, never vibrations, car drivers straight, never had a issue, doesn’t rust, just don’t get the cheapest eBay ones, I got billets
Matthew Pincoski hub centric does nothing more than aid in installing and lining up wheel, when everything is tight the studs carry the load by clamping force. Cheap studs use bad metallurgy and will just snap, same goes for all cheap metal parts.
Ok so I’m going to do 2 inch spacers now. Just have to choose a company that’s got a good history with their products. Thanks guys. Years later your videos are still kicking knowledge to us truck lovers.
@@24revealer you are assuming the truck is sitting on an absolutely level surface. Best way to measure with tires installed is to 1)chock front wheels and jack up the rear so both rear tires are just about off the ground, but not completely so they won't turn 2) use a long straight edge up against the entire tire (dead down the center of the tire) and measure to the fender 3) set the rear down and repeat for the front. But doing this also assumes that your front fender and rear fenders are equal distances from the center line of your truck. Best method is to measure hub to hub, subtract the two and divide by 2...this will give you exact measurement for spacers if you are trying to space your rear wheels to equal the front. But this will increase your turning radius
My favorite thing when people talk about how dangerous wheel spacers and adapters are is when I point out and show them that they actually come on most medium duty semi trucks and most 1 ton 4x4 trucks and have since at least the 60s
I had 2 inch spacers on my tacoma back in the day, i did a lot of crazy shit in that truck and i never had an issue. Spacers arent bad; just buy quality stuff and torque your stuff properly
Just replaced hubs on a Jeep that had spacers before I got it. Had to force every hubs bolt through, with great difficulty and none of them had threads left . The torque/moment changes substantial withe the distance. Now I'm about to add 1" spacers. Cause they're awesome
I’ve been running 2 inch spacers from eBay for five years now absolutely agree with installing them correctly with the correct Lugnuts my Ford uses flat base Lugnuts from stock you have to use acorn The spacer has a taper and so does my wheel. Do not over torque! If you don’t trust the studs replaced them
I bought some cheap unbranded Ebay spacers for my Jeep Wrangler- went off roading pretty hard and they were just fine- then I got tboned from a car going 60 mph on the highway, And totaled my Jeep- the wheels and the spacers held up just fine through that accident too. So I guess it can be hit or miss on Ebay 🤷🏼♂️
I have BORA spaces on a F-350 Platinum, crew cab & short bed, with stock wheels and 38x15.5's only had to replaced the 4x4 dam with one for a 4x2. So far no issues. That is with a 3.5-inch Ready Lift; wanted to keep my factory snow plow springs.

Just took off 15mm spacers off the front of my G37. You wouldn't think a little over a inch total would make a difference but it does. The steering became noticeably heavier and the car didn't handle as well.
yeah, for some reason myNotEbayStuff company "forgot" to mention that putting on whatever spacer causing change in the whatever suspension geometry. Among many others scrub radius which affects steering of the car. Putting on a spacer alone makes your car look cooler, not faster at corners. Maybe if whateverIknowEverything were able to fine tune a suspension they would have somewhat more sophisticated tools ... than a straight edge :D
Word of advice from someone who installs spacers on a regular basis. Use blue locktite on your lugs from the spacer to the hub. This will keep the lugs from coming loose over time.
Everything you said was complete correct expect with the torque with the spacers. You should always torque the spacers the same specs that the manufacturer give you for your specific vehicle for your lugs. So example Silverado lugs torque to 140 the spacers should be the same.
I’ve had eBay spacers on my 2001 Lexus IS00 for almost 4 years and I’ve had no issues at all. Just like you said make sure they put them on tight and you shouldn’t have any issues.
I am just trying to find spacers that allow bigger tires on dually wheels. What should I be searching for specifically different than these kinds of spacers?
I wanna get spacers but I've heard from a couple mechanic friends good and bad things. One of them was trying to tell me how the studs on my truck, 01 ram 2500 are stronger no matter what and spacers are always going to fail because the stud is the weak part

I've had 1.5" wheel spacers on my last 3 trucks in the course of 10 years. I've gone mud bogging, baja-ing, bombing down dirt roads, and pretty much anything else u can do with a truck.

I’m going to be getting a S10 4x4 Pickup and don’t like how the front tires stick out further then the rear tires. What should I look at on getting rear spacers for it? Other then daily driving, should I worry about having them on the rear axle, like hauling loads or eventually taking it off road? Eventually I’m wanting to swap in a rear axle from a S10 ZR2, but don’t know if I should have the front regeared to 3.73 or the rear regeared to 3.42.
Good points, but the simple fact is, that the further you move the wheel from the hub, the more stress you’re putting on the first lugs, so it does become more dangerous, the wider you get...
As mechanic whenever i run across a person wanting to put spacers on their ride i always tell them they have to come back a week from installation to retighten the spacers cause of looseness that might arise i always torque the spacers to vehicle specifications ( which is how i was taught) then the wheels themselves.. then a week later as said earlier repeat the process.... question... is this right? or are we doing something we dont need to do @ Custom Offsets
It is always a good idea to re-torque wheel spacers after driving on them for the first 50-100miles or so absolutely. After you torque it and put the tire back on, the lug nuts get seated and the studs stretch a little bit so its always a good idea to check them with miles or like you said after a week or so
I am looking at purchasing 3 inch spacers to make my f350 dually turn like a f450 dually. 1. will it work with stock tires and is it hard on my wheel bearings? Also do I need to purchased aluminum or steel. I tow a heavy 3 axle fifth wheel toy hauler
I have a all wheel drive 2005 yukon denali xlt 1500.After adjustment on the torsion bar keys I've got an awful lot of camber. I've heard 2"spacer will help with this, true or not true is my question. I should also mention I've already changed the rear auto air ride system with a kit that came with new coil springs, shocks (2" adapters added to shocks)and 3" spacers under the springs. Also came with new torsion keys supposed to add 3 inches. I haven't added the new key's all ready can see bottom lower control arms are pretty much maxed out. Any way are the spacer's worth my time while waiting to get the rest of the front end parts upgraded. My stock arms do appear to have an adjustment on them. I believe for camber but not sure. I watch your videos all the time , would love feed back on my set up. Oh I plan to get rid of the magnetic Ride system up front.36" in the front 40" in the rear from floor to outside top edge of fender.

@@codyrockwood15 wider wheels do not adjust the geometry because the hub face is in the same location and no further leverage is added. Extra stress points are added on the opposite side of the spacers and are not present on wider wheels.

Hello brother, just need a little help with something.. Basically bought 12mm spacers for my BMW along side with pro lowering spring quite a while ago i have come across deep rubbing from my back arches My right tyre has blown and left one was about too, too. My tyres have tread but the inside of the wheels are scraping, why so? Can you perhaps explain what the situation could be. Will really appreciate your response, Thank you
Ok, so I have a 96 f150. I can’t decide whether I want to run a spacer setup or a deep dish rim setup. If I run wides what does it effect. And if I run spacers what all do I need to replace with after market for less wearing or bearing failure?

my grandfather and I own a machine shop and would like to know if it is safe to make our own spacer ( I don't have enough money, or a card to buy them..) out of maybe 440 stainless.. I think that is right
Yeah man don't sweat all the shit all these dudes are saying, my number one pointer to you is to machine the rear of the spacer to fit the head of the bolt exactly. I have had spacers before that don't hold the head of the bolt before and instead use splined studs with the round head and they are trash.
I have a 2020 Subaru ascent and I only want like 1/2inch spacer. Will it affect my towing/tongue weight capacity? Will it also lower the life of bearings?

No such thing as a stupid question when youre learning. And that is a very commonly asked question, you should not need an alignment after installing wheel spacers.
I have a 2014 wrangler unlimited, I’m going to put on 35x12.5 on my stock 17” rubicon wheels. What spacer do I need to clear that. I have a 2” lift and high clearance fenders
In theory spacers means a wider turn for the wheel which means will get closer to the fender/wheel well right? Do they make longer control arms for 5th gen ram 1500's? Is it worth going that route? I want max size tires without doing a crazy huge lift, and I have the air ride equipped.
Hello I am putting 17” Raptor wheels on my 2019 F150 do you know if I will need spacers? If so how large. I want the wheels to be flush with the fender w/flares.
So if a specific spacer seems to be a high quality metal aluminum/magnesium alloy (I have already ordered and received them) and are hub centric and I torque the as per spec, is there anything else I need to be aware of or double check after the re-torque? The brand is H&R DRA if that helps.
Jake Garzo That’s what I figure I bet they have no issues as a daily commuter but I put 15k 20k a year on rough dirt roads and I can’t see how they wouldn’t cause issues.
The spacers with no studs ie 1/2" spacers you just take the rim off put the spacer on and put the rims back on and torque it down correct? I have a 2020 Silverado and my tire rubs on inner angled frame peice
Ive had ebay spacers for 40 thousand miles and not an issue. I also was offroading and hit the lip of concrete getting back on the road and didnt realize it stuck up so high, bent alot of shit but the spacers held up

Good overview, thanks for throwing in some numbers too!
Good points, but the simple fact is, that the further you move the wheel from the hub, the more stress you’re putting on the first lugs, so it does become more dangerous, the wider you get...
1 inch isn't worth debating.
As mechanic whenever i run across a person wanting to put spacers on their ride i always tell them they have to come back a week from installation to retighten the spacers cause of looseness that might arise i always torque the spacers to vehicle specifications ( which is how i was taught) then the wheels themselves.. then a week later as said earlier repeat the process.... question... is this right? or are we doing something we dont need to do @ Custom Offsets
It is always a good idea to re-torque wheel spacers after driving on them for the first 50-100miles or so absolutely. After you torque it and put the tire back on, the lug nuts get seated and the studs stretch a little bit so its always a good idea to check them with miles or like you said after a week or so
New shop looks 💯
FULLER your killing it man good job ...MOVE OVER SEAN
Do you have to re-torque wheel to spacer & spacer to hub every 500 miles?
Or do you just re-torque wheel to spacer?

Adding spacers adjusts the wheel geometry and adds extra stress points to the suspension.
It's in no way different from wheels with low offset. But yes, that is still true even if it doesn't matter in most situations.
So does wider wheels.
So either way, you're still gonna have added stress on the same parts.

Will really appreciate your response,
Thank you
Ok, so I have a 96 f150. I can’t decide whether I want to run a spacer setup or a deep dish rim setup. If I run wides what does it effect. And if I run spacers what all do I need to replace with after market for less wearing or bearing failure?
Question on use of red locktite on studs holding spacer to hub. They recommend 90 foot pounds for my 3/4 ton because it’s a wet torque using thread locker. What are your thoughts?
Hey man I got a 85 bronco with five lug ttb an wanna change my rig to a six lug what's best idea to also be able to keep the ttb
They are necessary for some builds. But if installed won't pass vehicle safety inspections in some states.
With 45 years as a service specialist, items like this must be, 100%, top shelf quality.
6061 T-6 or 7075-T6 .
No room for error here.
More so than excessive bearing wear would be suspension Joints, the will have additional leverage applied to them (ball joints esp.)
I have a 2008 Chevy trailblazer with a 6x5 bolt pattern. Can't find Bora offering a spacer adapter. Really looking for a 2 inch spacer with a 6x5.5 bolt pattern. Does this exist, and where?

Hello! So what exactly do you mean by torque the spacer to the hub and etc??
whats your opinion on using 2" spacers with hub centric rings? (106mm to 78mm. aftermarket wheels bigger than bore)
Guys do it William, the spacers can be milled to those specs though, to eliminate the need for spacers
Custom Offsets would i get spacers hubcentric to the hub or to the aftermarket wheel bore? What would be the installation procedure in a 1 2 3 step.. ring, spacer, wheel? Spacer, ring, wheel?
I have an 2007 tundra with a 3 inch lvl kit on 35s 18s. If I put a 3 inch spacer on it will I need to do more trimming
You definitely would, as it pushes the wheel 3" further out, and when you turn, it has that much more of a swing radius to it!
my grandfather and I own a machine shop and would like to know if it is safe to make our own spacer ( I don't have enough money, or a card to buy them..) out of maybe 440 stainless.. I think that is right
Don't see why not, but there is unknown risk with them Redemption
Yeah man don't sweat all the shit all these dudes are saying, my number one pointer to you is to machine the rear of the spacer to fit the head of the bolt exactly. I have had spacers before that don't hold the head of the bolt before and instead use splined studs with the round head and they are trash.
I have a 2020 Subaru ascent and I only want like 1/2inch spacer. Will it affect my towing/tongue weight capacity? Will it also lower the life of bearings?
I have wheels that have a 40 offset and I want them put on my 350z that currently has stock wheels. Will your spacers work in my situation? The wheels are gonna be further inside my fender and I need spacers to bring them so they fit flush with my fender
yes they will, hit up fitmentindustries.com and our car team can help you out Nick!
Hahaha love the continuous pan with the chair… #entertainingvideography
I've got an 08 3500 dually bout to install 35x12.50 on stock 17" wheels. What size spacers would I need and how would I install them for the front and rear?
Probably a stupid question but will I have to get an alignment after wheel spacer installment
No such thing as a stupid question when youre learning. And that is a very commonly asked question, you should not need an alignment after installing wheel spacers.
Do y’all sell a 2inch or 2.5inch or 3 inch wheel spacer for a 2005 Chevy trailblazer ext 4x4 with a 6x5 lug spacing

I’m getting a wide body kit for my 2016 mustang... if I don’t get new wheels I need to run 2in spacers on all 4 corners. Is that solid or sketchy?
Good to know about the toyotas thanks.
I have a 2014 wrangler unlimited, I’m going to put on 35x12.5 on my stock 17” rubicon wheels. What spacer do I need to clear that. I have a 2” lift and high clearance fenders
What’s does liking the comment mean 😂
In theory spacers means a wider turn for the wheel which means will get closer to the fender/wheel well right? Do they make longer control arms for 5th gen ram 1500's? Is it worth going that route? I want max size tires without doing a crazy huge lift, and I have the air ride equipped.

Would it be a good idea or bad idea to put spacers between my rear tires on my dually
Some guys have had to do it, because they can't get 12.5's to not touch each other!
Hello I am putting 17” Raptor wheels on my 2019 F150 do you know if I will need spacers? If so how large. I want the wheels to be flush with the fender w/flares.
So if a specific spacer seems to be a high quality metal aluminum/magnesium alloy (I have already ordered and received them) and are hub centric and I torque the as per spec, is there anything else I need to be aware of or double check after the re-torque? The brand is H&R DRA if that helps.
Just make sure to re torque in the future and that should be it!
Will it hurt the truck if you only have wheel spacers on the rear of truck?
How do they hold up on pickups that spend a way above average amount of time on rough dirt roads?
Mines have held up 6.5years and still running strong, been through mud sand and floods most of its time
The same physics hold your spacers on your hub that hold a wheel on the hub. There's no difference.
Will hold up fine but with spacers and offsets your wheel bearings will wear 5x faster than normal
Jake Garzo That’s what I figure I bet they have no issues as a daily commuter but I put 15k 20k a year on rough dirt roads and I can’t see how they wouldn’t cause issues.
Definitley will cause extra wear. Don't know about 5x.
Thank you. How about 5mm spacer? Do I need alignment if I take them of later? Changing mustang rims 44 to 40mm
No alignment needed for wheel spacers!
@@CustomOffsetsTV Thank you. Put the 5mm spacers in front. No balancing no aligning needed. Works great! Tires were already balanced though.
What would I torque the spacer on a 97 Ford F-350 to cause I been thinking of putting some on but I want to make sure I do it right ?
Same torque as you would to the hub!
Ok and same steps as the 3/4 ton to torque down right ?
What about suspension stress ? Should I upgrade that too or will I be okay. What I am doing, is buying high quality control arms for sure
Unsure what ya mean by suspension stress
I have a c6 corvette z51 and want to bring the wheels out flush to the wheel wells which ones do I buy ?
I have hub centric rings and still vibrate. Do you think hub centric spacers will solve the vibration issue.
The spacers with no studs ie 1/2" spacers you just take the rim off put the spacer on and put the rims back on and torque it down correct? I have a 2020 Silverado and my tire rubs on inner angled frame peice
Correct
Ive had ebay spacers for 40 thousand miles and not an issue. I also was offroading and hit the lip of concrete getting back on the road and didnt realize it stuck up so high, bent alot of shit but the spacers held up
Will it work:??
Spacers on rear only
Stock Chevy
I’m thinking won’t be a problem🤔
