DIY | Wheel Spacer Install and Torquing

Derek shows us the different types of wheel spacers and shows us how to properly install them without any wobble!

Check out our other DIY Videos:

Wheel spacers increase wheel offset to improve vehicle appearance and handling. These discs, with hub and wheel bolt holes, fit between the wheel and hub to push the wheels outward. This pair of 20mm spacers was manufactured from lightweight aluminum, allowing you to achieve the look you want with quality parts.

Wheel spacers from ECS Tuning are available in thicknesses from 3-20mm, to widen track, improve cornering, and provide extra room for altered suspension and brake components.

Great video. I'm leaning towards putting spacers on my 2014 Audi S5. You're stock Audi wheel in the video is exactly like mine.

I ordered 12.5mm for the fronts and 10mm for rears for my e39 530i. I had not seen this video. My 12.5mm fit like a glove but the 10mm had the exact rocking motion shown here; the wheel would not sit flush against the spacer. Ordered another set of 12.5mm for the rear. Wish i had seen this video before. Or I wish they would have included a link to this video on the 10mm and 12.5mm product descriptions on the site. I still would not have know which would fit but i would have done a better job of test fitting before installing.

Do I need to increase the wheel torque after the spacer install or same as before?

So I got the 10mm and my wheels sit at a slant and wobble when I drive, should I go with 12mm? Or go humblest spacer, plz help 🙏

[TRHardware]

Is it not needed to actually lock the spacer itself with log nuts before just running through the rim bolts?

Hola para una suv BMW X1 F48 2107 unos spacers es recomendable y no perjudica la suspensión y las ruedas

Didn't get one thing clear. So you've talked about the hubless spacers but did not cover how to proper install it....Is it safe to use one of these?

[rogerklotz]

So basically I need to a run 12mm spacer on my aftermarket wheels (rotiform blq) so it doesn't rock back n forth like how the 10mm spacer does?

[Gabgzz]

So will the 12mm or 15mm spacers fit my Audi A4 b9 2018? Since the 10mm won't? The website says it does not fit my car?

I ordered spacers for my 2024 Nissan Altima SR. I ran into that situation you talked about with the chamfer on my OEM wheels. The center part of the spacer doesn’t seat all the way into the original rim. The rim rocks in all directions on the spacer. The specs for my car suggest that is has a 66.1mm bore, which is what I ordered but they still don’t seem to fit. Is there a way around this?

Hi, just what I'm looking for for the back of my vw Sharan 7m 05 truck, I have oem 17 "wheels and I would like to fit this 30mm spacer if it fits?

[Junaid.]

What is the torque spec?
Just received mine and have a slight vibration on 160km/h+
Might just rebalance my wheels at the same time.

Is there any sense to add spacers to MiniVan (chrylser pacifica 2300kg)?

[jflo]

I have a 13 Hyundai accent with a 4 lug nut patern. At 4/100 my rims are 15/7" what should I do to make them fit..

[AndreiCristt]

Hub centric rings are needed only for the aftermarket wheels or even for the OEM wheels ? Thank you in advance

Thanks for the informative video. I have a 2017 Audi S3 8V Sporthatch, with factory 19" wheels. I am looking to get wheel spacers all around. Can you please recommend a thickness that will ensure I don't have to make any modification to the wheel arches etc, and won't get any rubbing or tire contact issues, including on the front from lock to lock, and even on full suspension compression? Cheers!
