How to Safely Run Wheel Spacers and Adapters 

JesseAndMike thanks guys! How is Playlistlive?

Glad it was helpful!

Austin Shuey thank you for noticing! The video team put a lot of effort into the changes

I see you everywhere I swear 😂

@@CRBN27 I just made a few clones that live on here while I sleep 😂

@@CanadianCruisin 😂😂😂😂

Still have these spacers on? I installed 1inch (25mm) on my 2019 and also no problems. I don't do any crazy track or racing

@SootheCustoms I still have them on yes. Just got a new set of summer wheels so they will be coming off but I've never had any issues

They only reply when you give them a praise on their video so don't wait for an answer

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm still gonna get some good 6160 spacers but pop out the studs and use quality extended studs, dfuser makes some for miata

The nuts will be recessed, if the studs protrude out you can cut the extra off or get shorter studs.

A set of properly made 0.5" hub centric wheel spacers on a 5.5" backspacing wheel would have absolutely no different effect than a 5.0" backspacing wheel with no spacer. Improperly installed spacers, spacers that are poorly machined, or spacers that don't center can all cause accelerated bearing wear. None of that applies to a properly made spacer like the ones used by countless Pro Stock cars that trap above 200 mph.

@@jimbojimson Problem also are the cast aluminium and loose (as he showed in the video) spacers, disgusging, often not even flush, and since they're cast they're not perfect, and softer

20mm spacers are no different than running wheels with a more aggressive offset.

You’ve done a great job at weakening your wheel studs all the shearing force is now out towards the end of the stud, and not in close to the hub. You are the reason this video was made.

I don’t think so. The adapter fits tight on the hub and the wheel fits tight on the adapter. There’s a lot of surface area to keep the properly tightened studs from shearing.

I put a set of 315/40/17 555R's on the back of my Foxbody...those things are coming off and I'm going to a smaller, stickier tire. Bigger is not always better...lesson learned.

@@robertelmo7736 with 700 horsepower i kinda need traction lol

Ahh yes...you are going to need a 15" wheel with a big fat Mickey Thompson and lots of sidewall.

@@predalienftw wide tires spin more in the rain. Pro race cars use a different tire size and composition depending on road conditions. In Lamans they choose 10 different sets per car.

@@christopherfoxwallace1291 am i a pro race car driver

Did you need longer studs?

@@bmecalgary Nope. Used the product exactly as it came. 3/4" spacers. The spacers came with studs on them

MrMrwilson11 do you check the lugs every so often or just leave em as is?

@@BHennessy1765 I used to check them but never had to tighten them.
