Don’t forget, if you run a studded spacer you may need open ended lugs. So measure your lug and wheel depth.

[charlesmecum]

If u get proper wheels u won't need spacers. But if u run spacers ur factory alignment has changes. Get alignment after.

[mazdaman]

All your suspension angles will change and a total realignment is needed

[joshfranklin]

Don’t forget to order new wheel bearings as well over time you will need them!!!!

[TKFTW]

I can tell you everything you need to know about spacers. 1: Don't use them 2: refer to 1

[jimknight]

Listen up kids you still need logger lugs ! That 1/2" spacer still is not safe enough, STILL NOT ENOUGH THREATS TO SEAT THE LUGNUTS CORRECITY.

[johnpaulk]

That half inch spacer is enough to cause extra stress on the components, same as offset wheels, it's not a matter of if you get damage but when it'll start to show the damage from the stress

[jm]

You are incorrect.
The bigger Bora spacer you pulled out at the end is a spacer. It’s not an “adapter “

Adapters are the same but they “adapt” different stud patterns so you can run wheels that your car can’t normally run. Thus the term “adapter”

If a spacer has the same bolt
pattern as your current hubs but is too wide to use the stock studs, then the spacer will have its own studs to use.
It’s still only called a spacer, not an adapter.

And….. running high quality USA made spacer made from quality metal, like the BORA spacers, is not an issue at all ! Just make sure they are torqued to specs with every tire rotation. I’ve never had a single bolt come loose after 3 years on 3/4 ton diesel with 1.5” BORA spacers. Even towing 10, 000 trailers with it.
Guys get into to trouble buying a set of crappy China made spacers off Amazon.

And spacers are no different on suspension parts and bearings than running the same offset wheels.

[jacobdavis]

Best thing to do is change the studs say you’re running 1 inch spacer then get 1 inch longer stud than stock

[jacobmegois]

Wheel spacers also cause premature bearing failure. By moving the wheel out it shifts the weight and applies pressure to the bearings that they were not designed to handle.

my friends tire passed him on I 10 in Phoenix going 75mph. somehow he managed to pull over with 3 wheels. his 4th tire was 100 yards ahead of him. he looks up the road and someone pulled over, picked up the tire and took off with it.

Do pushups on your fingers that’s what your bearings are feeling. All steering components wear faster

[benjaminp]

1.5 in adapters with factory wheels will give no problems to alignment or premature wear on independent suspension, alot depends on wheel offset, I suggest adapters only, spacers more for clearance behind the wheel on steering

[robertrogers]

And carry around some extra wheel bearings because they certainly will fail!

[servicetrucker]

Should’ve talked about how spacers, changing wheel offset, and big tires eat up hub bearings and destroy suspension parts

[johnnyringo]

Never use spacers. They are dangerous. The lugs wear and snap due to pressure. They also put extra wear on your bearings. Just get offset rims. Please don't listen to this guy.

[thar]

Don't forget to put the hub rings on that wheel, otherwise it'll wobble around.

[daniellepage]

Don’t use spacers. Just get a wider wheel assembly. The difference between looking good and being good.

[benjaminp]

Much also depends on wheel mating surface thickness not all hubs have same length of studs, I use 1.5 spacers they are adapters, cheap adapters have cheap studs but they are fine as long as they don't get cross threaded

[TestECull]

Rule number one: DO NOT FUCKING USE SPACERS.
