I removed my cai, muffler, turbo, now im going to remove my spacers damn scotty might as well buy a horse

[danwal]

I've ran spacers on my cars for 20 years and never ever once had any issues...dont be such a scaremonger

[aldocruz]

Thanks for the info but still putting them on 🤪

[Uisci]

He talks about how the engineers made these cars perfect for they way it is, no, they made it the most economical way they could, they knew adding bigger exhausts, better intakes, tuning etc costs more money and raises the price of the vehicle. They made it to sell at the best price point. You can greatly improve ride/hp/efficiency etc in aftermarket equipment

[summr]

Damn that's crazy. Ima go order 4 of them right now

[frankiecolombo]

I work with engineers daily. My experience with them tells me it's okay to get spacers 😅

[kairoreyes]

Dam this guy is against almost everything lol😂

[SuperPsuedo]

False, my car was not engineered for optimal performance. My car was engineered to be economical and slow...

[JayRM]

I’ve had wheel spacers on my car for around two years now and it still rides perfectly fine. I also did them myself from watching a YouTube video lol. I really don’t see any problem if you install them correctly...

Come on Scotty, dont hate on everything.
I put over 200, 000 km on two different vehicles that had wheel spacers. No wheel bearing issues, no unusual tire wear. I have retorqued them every time I have rotated my tires. If you put wheel spacers on correctly and keep them 1.5 inches or less then there is nothing to worry about.

[fatsomustang]

Who watched this and bought them anyway

[theironarbiter]

I swear this dude hates absolutely every mod 😂

[goldenfall]

I was looking around for wheel spacers and this guy pops up

[hodelmadar]

It’s very ironic that he talks about “why not “ while there’s a sign behind him that says “live free or die” lol

[b.snoodleman]

The load on the wheel bearing will increase slightly but greasing regularly will prevent premature wear. Adding spacers doesn't permanently change the wheel geometry, the caster and camber can be adjusted to match the OEM wheel geometry.

[azimaslam]

Been using spacers for years now .
Never had any issues with it .

Let's talk about pizza and beer now . Its good for you .

Engineers are also the ones who put the fuel pump in the gas tank
