Spacers seem like a great way to blow out wheel bearings more frequently. Something about moving the load further away from the bearing seems like it would add significant additional stress to the bearing. Now I'm not a mechanic or an engineer, but I play one on YT
Same thing applies to greater negative offset wheels. Negative offset and wheel spacers are definitely gonna wear out parts faster. There's a price to pay for that stanced look, but if you're like me I think it's worth it for that look.
@@Maxllerrelic I know I'm not. My stock 1984 K30 flatbed is about 100x better looking, and 100x more useful than this pavement prancing grocery getter.
@@junkyarddog8277 exactly. I have trucks I bought for 2000 dollars that can outwork these shit boxes any day of the week and it makes me insanely happy
Even if you did on chevys the front wheels will stick out farther than the rear wheels. I don’t run spacers I just deal with not having the “even” look. I’d rather be safe towing 15,000 pounds than have a spacer fail and lose my truck with the load.
very good term to teach would be the word "scrub radius", which gets worse and worse the more you offset your wheels. your turn radius actually shrinks as you go further out from center after a certain point.
If anyone has ever watched the older whistlindiesel videos you'll know these things don't break as long as they are made from quality material and are hub centric. I run 1.5" adapters on my Ranger just to fit the TRD Pro rims and they've worked great on and off road. Haven't backed out or loosened on me. Before that I had 2" spacers on my other truck and those loosened up after about a year, but you're supposed to check them sooner then that anyway, so that was my bad. Luckily no harm was done. But these guys are just a middle man for Motorsports Tech that actually makes the spacers, you can order directly from them which I did the second time around after these guys dropped shipped it to me direct from manufacturer and charged me $30 extra for their trouble.
I just need a 1in spacer on the front of my ranger so i san put 18in mustang rims on the truck without hitting the control arms, cause then i could us my mustangs rims on my truck when its tires get a flat. Also cause i can find mustang rims everywhere.
Run bora spacers, order longer than studs or cut off stud, tight to spec and you will have zero issues. Anyone saying different either didn’t use bora or didn’t do the others correct.
I can't wait for this stupid trend to stop on trucks (squatted, jacked idc) A truck is for work. Raising the bed so i have to lift tools and materials higher is dumb asf.
All depends on who the owner is, not everyone has the same reasoning for getting a truck, that's the joys of the truck enthusiasts out there, there is a variety and everyone has their own tastes
Hey it is what it is man. It’s not always just working tool truck. Modified trucks for looks, style, daily driven, racing trucks, off-road trucks can be used in many way. Not just work. So get over it
@Jeremiah Schultz we all have different taste. It’s basically a u hate or love it. So sorry, I can’t get over it. I’d still say it’s a very clean truck. We all have our own different taste of what type of trucks we can transform them into. So sit down.
I got 15s from yall for my 03 silverado, they too small for the brakes, but I cant return them, had to rebalance them since the weights fell off they scuffed them, would a spacer help its 0mm offset
Opinions opinions opinions. “It’s a pavement princess your going to blow out your bearing 💅.” It’s he’s tho. How about you make a RU-vid channel talking about your beatdown clapped out shitbox. “He ruined a good truck” it’s still his and it’s still a truck🤷♂️.
I do not recommend wheel spacers at all farther you put the will out from the hub of the wheel more pressure will be put on the wheel studs so I do not recommend.
You can avoid spacers if you just buy the correct offset wheels. Never cheap out on wheels and suspension. Heck don't even do this crap. When you go to sell the vehicle you'll lose everything you spent on that stuff + the base price of the vehicle itself will be lowered because prior want to buy stock stuff. ORRRRR you can do all this and when you list it, you just hope and pray that there's a bigger idiot out there. 🤣
Or you could be a man and run tires that won’t blow out when you hit a gravel road. Them fucking tires aren’t doing shit with them gay ass rims. That’s just as bad as the Carolina squat. I only run 16 inch rims on a 35” tire. Them rubber bands are junk.
I drive a widebodied 8th gen civic sedan, it’s hellaflush so it’s low as hell, no air ride just static, I get stuck on dips in the road. I’m not one of those guys who is all show no go, my little civic has 468hp and the car weighs around 1800lbs so it gets up and boogies🤣
Dang.. I thought spacers would make my dodge look better. I really don’t see the point in getting any. I’m glad my vw golf is bagged and negative cambered 😂😂😂 I’ll just keep playing with my vw. I might just put more negative camber on it and not spend any money on my truck 😂😂. I prefer to be low anyway . And ride normal to go have dinner 😂😂😂😂
If you have the money for big tires and rims buy the correct wheel to match your build don't put that garbage on you truck. You will be replacing hubs and ball joints unless you enjoy working on your truck monthly.
Man, the boys round here would laugh this truck off of them high heels and help his girl with that lipstick removal. Just saying. Don’t do this to your trucks.
So you selling wheels and spacers or are you trying to get some return business replacing some bearings because that's what it seems like to me not to mention you can't turn you or park anywhere because it doesn't fit in a parking stall on second thought this is a great idea best of luck to all that do dumb things
I just added spacers to my jeep the only way I could find to lock the hub to torque them was e brake 4low in park was there anyway I could've done it easier?
Apparently they are only for the front of a vehicle. 🤔 If you can't afford new offset rims and just need a little space on your solid axle rear end to avoid the occasional rub on the interior side of the fender why not?
I'm curious of why everyone is wanting to push the wheels out like that I mean maybe some big tires where they just stick out a little on there own but not extending them out like that. Well to each is own I geuss
Remember when a set of 35s to 38s super swappers were all you needed to look good Peppwards farms remembers . Rubber band life not for me I like sidewall
These are hinge are illegal on street cars in my country- both hub- centric and non hub- centric and illegal. Just buy the correct offset wheels to begin with
Ahhhh low pros on a lifted off road truck can go off road with out worrying about bending a rim but I guess it's good if you want to drive through high water on the streets lol
I have to use them on the front of my mustang. I hated how ford did two different offsets for the front and rear on the 15’s. I got a square aftermarket setup so I needed the fronts to even them out… and not hit the new brembos 😂
Read the package they come in Number 1: not for roadway or highway use Number 2: offroad use only and even then they break studs or come loose and fall off
You think this comment makes you look more mature but in reality it makes you look stupid commenting this on a custom offsets video, do you now know what custom offsets is?
