Are Wheel Spacers Actually Safe? 

glad you talked about hub centric, when i tell other ppl about that they have a blank look on their face

How about Semi slicks and slicks? Tom's alloy wheels? Top 10 Classic JDM alloy wheels?

Video on fill and redrill for wheels.

Fitment Industries more info on air lift systems? How to go about it, pictures, videos on what it actually comes with, most importantly, pricing. A range on pricing. Make it very visual! Going to your guy's website is confusing. Searching for the correct wheel and tire was not the best experience for me. I couldn't even search by manufacturer from my phone on my 8th Gen Civic. I wanted to narrow it down to just some Volks but I can't seem to find it where I can filter it to that. Searching for wheels and lowering kits for my car on your guy's website is not user friendly. Do a video that talks more about airlift systems and a DIY video on how to install it professionally.

Lets see something on brakes. Fitment norms for AWD VS RWD VS FWD. Still wanna see something on Varrstoen. Tire compounds to choose.

I like these tips! 😂 Never over look quality ever!

How do you know if they’re trash spacers? What are good brands?

@@tylerkimdura6690 you will never know

@@xKingzenity yep by the looks of it I won’t.

@@tylerkimdura6690 Eibach

LMAO

If it's on properly it will be safe lol

You dont fit thru the trails!

🤣💪🏻

I’m running the same setup bro. Very clean stance.

Will short 300 and 18/16 of an inch

Usually between 85-90 lbs of torque. Depending on the spacer. Just make sure you get Hub-centric and Bolt-ons.

About 2

Typically around 3

I use the tool that comes with the car and step on it to tighten it up😂😂😂

Thanks for the update!!

Good man. Thank you Mirio.

idk if a multi-fractured skull and chest counts as okay but at least he's alive lol

I can only imagine the questions that dude had we he woke up. That's the mother of all smack downs.

knowing this, now i can laugh comfortably

Steve Vento they have highways with no speed limits...

Steve Vento you’re mad

Steve Vento Nope definitely drive faster in Germany. please tell me where you are driving 180+ mph(sustained) in the US. Also, they know how to use the fast lane correctly bitch 🙃

Louis Williams yeah I’m in America but I’m not even gonna argue against you lol people are stupid ass drivers here Lmao they can’t drive past 50

🙄 Can you stop embarrassing the rest of Americans who aren't uninformed assholes? Please?

Need this one, good looks 🅿️

Needed this thank you

exactly!

That goes for pretty much everything in the automotive world.

gonzotopia1 - It's a rule for most things in life.

Yes I agree

Rule for everything in life... besides iPhones

@Business AsUsual pine is the way to go

🤣

Just replace all 4 wheel bearings then install spacers. The look is worth it.

If the wheels had the correct offset than it would have resulted in the same stress

Exactly. There are even specific calculations that show the life of said, bearing and how it incrementally decreases due to the angle overage from stock.

Optimally if you stay within 80% of bearing life the spacers are worth it. Sometimes there are abnormalities and some wheelbearings just don’t go out in their specified lifespan.

Thanks for the support homie!🖤🖤

I had 30mm on my e36 for 2 years. only had a problem when i forgot to tighten them

Been running 20mm in the front & 25mm in the rear for 3+ years now. No issues driving on these shitty Hawaii roads. 🤙🤙

space shuttle ..103 missions on o'rings for fuel then o rings fail because the temperature was to low. One variable and KAPOWWWWWW... no thankyou, I drive like a madman and dying because of a $200.00 non compliant part is not in my game plan.we arnt talking about carpet or a phone charger...you are talking about your connection to the earth and the only stability you have...go buy some tires with no name on them, some scooby doo brake pads....don't die cause you want to fill up your wheel well.

Too each their own. I drive pretty recklessly too with the pot hole ridden & unleveled, steel plate covered roads here when traffic is bad & they’ve held up just fine over the 3 years I’ve owned them. Ran them on 2 different cars, a ‘06 Mazda6 & my current ‘13 Mazda3 hatch. Usually inspect them twice a month when I have the wheels off the car for warping, cracks, bent studs or just anything unusual.

sN UCExhAVOk u sound like ur describing pearl city lmfao

hahah for sure homie!

Thanks for the input homie!

Yea, the "washer" kind only relies on being hard enaugh, you don't have to worry if its aluminium or chinesium. while the bolt on kind actually take alot of both compression and tension forces... Slip on washer type is better if you have long enaugh studs/bolts. I ran 25mm washer style on my old VW bus, had 65mm studs and torqued to spec, no problems on road or offroad for years... have a new bus now and want to do the same, but have to measure a bit to find out if 15, 20 or 25mm will be best with the wheels I got..

What about for cars that use bolts from outside the wheel, not studs in the hub?

darjanator then you need longer bolts... Bolt on washers still have the same problem...

@@RenaxTM91 you and milos arent thinking it through the shorter lug bolts on the bolt on spacers physicly cannot flex. a first year engineering student cant explain to you why you are wrong and back it up with math. but ask yourself, why would a lug stud threaded into a spacer block be any differant than the lugs threaded into the brake disc? how could it? they should be the correct length for the wheel, so would react to load exactly as the stock no spacer set up. as for the mounting studs, same thing. they are made exactly as though you were bolting on a wheel, then you bolt the wheel to that. also the cars you are using as comparrison are weak and light, so the problems you are talking about wont ever happen to you in either configuration.

Glad to hear that your find our videos helpful! 👍

Well thats daigo..

He had to bc his wheel sponsor doesn't make wheels wide enough lol widebody problems

It’s a matter of durability over time, yeah it’ll work short term but what’s the long term effect.

osborney1951 nothing don’t be a pussy

@@osborney1951 I have spacer on my RX7 for 6 years now. No wheel or bearing problem. Is that long enough? get quality spacer and check it periodically. You won't have problem.

EXACTLY

I use spacers on a drag racing car and they safe

Pro race teams usually rebuild many parts of the car every race or two.

Fark i run spacers on spacers

Race teams change parts all the time. Try running slicks with 2in spacers. Control arms, bushing and bearings are screaming of pain

How are they now?

What are they made of thought about getting a set for mine

Kristoffer Santucci no u

@@TreasuryTrader no u

Go buy a car

@@luditalingdan8656 no u

OnyxFox09 same but I’m learning for when I do 😂

I have the same car and I order H&R spacers…how are yours holding up?

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the support homie!

SuperPenishole this is not true

Ikr. Has to have some engineering effect, even if only minimal on axle, bearings & struts.

That is correct - although running a "correct" offset wheel to achieve the flush look is generally considered a safer alternative over installing wheel spacers

@@chrish9502 please explain how it is not true?

huh? --spacers give your wheels a longer "moment arm" from the car, thereby giving the effect of *softer* suspension, not harder. They also shouldn't affect the steering much, as the wheels themselves still turn the same amount. I think you have placebo effect.

@@user-ms2mr2mc3g ""moment arm" from the car, thereby giving the effect of softer suspension, not harder. " - That would likely be the case on double wishbone suspensions, where the shocks are mounted to the wishbone. My car had macpherson struts at the front, where the shocks are direct connected to the steering knuckle. The problem here is: with a wheel spacer, the impulses from the wheel arent alined with the shocks travel direction, which hinders smoothing them out. "They also shouldn't affect the steering much, as the wheels themselves still turn the same amount. " - Because the wheels are further out, the steering point will travel more to the inward side of the wheel. Depending on how the car is setup, this can cause issues, because the forces from accelerating and braking have a bigger leverage. Under throttle, the steering wheel would turn inward and not straighten out on its own. " I think you have placebo effect." - Had 2 different people drive with me afterwards and both asked if I had done something to the suspension, because the car felt better.

ปนิษฐ์ ภักษา Heavy...

Make up your mind, iron or steel ?

Aleron Adams steel is made from iron stupid

Tide Pod yeah no shit dipshit, but what fucking benefit is there to have a soft and hard metal together used as spacers. Use your brain a little

Steel is made from iron however they are very different things. It’s like comparing wet mortar to hardened concrete

Twitt yeah he does.

Linustech of cars

yes hahaha

Lol

And looks like idubbz brother

Same 😂

It's all about the quality. period.

I got a staggered set of 22s for $200 I got a set of Rohana RC10 for $150 and a set of 2013 mustang wheels…….. none of them fit my car without spacers but they were all good deals I couldn’t beat

That is why you should always be careful when at the strip 😂😂

Always double check your measurements guys!

Good idea man!, we'll look into it!

LETS GO! 🤞🏼😂

Fitment Industries depending on what car you have, how long do they take to be shipped??

Eibach is a great brand!

The same things happen if you get wider wheels, what's you're point? Except at that point you have more rubber, which is much better than fitment.

which spacers did u get

Yet*

Like running arp studs on the spacer? Or you mean on the car

REIH Dude, no one stances their car for performance reasons. It’s crap for tire wear and grip. It’s a purely aesthetic wheel and suspension setup when you stance your car.

We on the way up baby!!!!!
