The 5 MYTHS About Wheel Spacers 

@@JohnDoe-bk4ci Yes we can! Follow the link, select your size, and let us know the specs! Spacers are custom made to order - www.customwheeloffset.com/store/?cat=Spacers

Custom Offsets hi can yall do a vedio on a 2 piece adapters? And how big can yall go with a 2 piece adapter?

What makes the cheap spacers shear off the studs & how do the Bora spacers work differently that prevents shearing?

Are supreme wheel spacer good quality?

Jafet Vera just make sure they’re hub centric and read the reviews

Chair pulling guy: "yanks the shit out the rope"

I was about to say who is the guy pulling the chair that was a cool idea

Totally agree

He'll yea

Chair pulling guy my fav part

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Can confirm. I was there.

Dorito power

How about amazon spacers

I’ve had some for a year now, never re-tightened the tops, done 160mph+ multiple times, never vibrations, car drivers straight, never had a issue, doesn’t rust, just don’t get the cheapest eBay ones, I got billets

@@SanAntonioNewHomesForSale most important thing about wheel spacers is HUB CENTRIC. If they're not hub centric, don't even consider them.

Matthew Pincoski hub centric does nothing more than aid in installing and lining up wheel, when everything is tight the studs carry the load by clamping force. Cheap studs use bad metallurgy and will just snap, same goes for all cheap metal parts.

@@matthewpincoski785 yea the most important thing is good studs.

Oy vey shut it down

Best comment for sure, dude talks faster than even Ben does though.

Omg now i can't un-hear it 😂

Mark B...thats funny bro...

Will do 😂

Thanks, bryan.

Doesn't know how to use a level. Flip it and use the bubble to get it plumb and then measure... wow.

@@24revealer you are assuming the truck is sitting on an absolutely level surface. Best way to measure with tires installed is to 1)chock front wheels and jack up the rear so both rear tires are just about off the ground, but not completely so they won't turn 2) use a long straight edge up against the entire tire (dead down the center of the tire) and measure to the fender 3) set the rear down and repeat for the front. But doing this also assumes that your front fender and rear fenders are equal distances from the center line of your truck. Best method is to measure hub to hub, subtract the two and divide by 2...this will give you exact measurement for spacers if you are trying to space your rear wheels to equal the front. But this will increase your turning radius

@@benjaminberan7645 No, not assuming anything, he has no clue how to use a level.

They are like the guys on AutoZone ...if not on the computer doesn't exist...they don't even know what a caliper is ..

Exactly

😂😂😂nice one

Wow what an awesome car to own!!

yeah, for some reason myNotEbayStuff company "forgot" to mention that putting on whatever spacer causing change in the whatever suspension geometry. Among many others scrub radius which affects steering of the car. Putting on a spacer alone makes your car look cooler, not faster at corners. Maybe if whateverIknowEverything were able to fine tune a suspension they would have somewhat more sophisticated tools ... than a straight edge :D

Vortec, I run 1" spacers on both of my Lexus and have had zero issues. Also a good amount of guys here run 2" spacers on their trucks!

Custom Offsets Good to know man I appreciate it! My wheels need to be flush with the fender flares 👌

It helps. But you should not have to use loctite on them if you are torquing and re-torquing them correctly

@@CustomOffsetsTV Why torque 2x when you can loctite once?

Read the first comment

It's in no way different from wheels with low offset. But yes, that is still true even if it doesn't matter in most situations.

So does wider wheels. So either way, you're still gonna have added stress on the same parts.

@@codyrockwood15 wider wheels do not adjust the geometry because the hub face is in the same location and no further leverage is added. Extra stress points are added on the opposite side of the spacers and are not present on wider wheels.

Slow_T4R did you use thread lock. I didn’t use it.

As long as the spaces are a good brand they will be just as strong. I don't know about the US, but in Europe Eibach or H&R are the ones to get.

1 inch isn't worth debating.

That's crazy how some places don't allow certain types of vehicle modifications like that!

Lol cheap spacers 😂, you are paying for the name! I have ran reasonable priced spacers for years and years never once had a problem!

😎😎 Welcome!

I'd also add that if ruins your scrub radius as well

I've never like the thought of spacers for many reasons. In Ontario Canada they are actually outlawed now from idiot installation issues. (Wheels falling off)

It takes 10 seconds to torque a tire. Why not just do it.

See now a month later is reasonable some people said every two weeks or 100 miles and that’s too much work but a month later is good 👍

It is always a good idea to re-torque wheel spacers after driving on them for the first 50-100miles or so absolutely. After you torque it and put the tire back on, the lug nuts get seated and the studs stretch a little bit so its always a good idea to check them with miles or like you said after a week or so

I had the same problem with my Silverado 1500

I'm about to order 14 wides and am considering swapping to 4wd hubs.

please do one on a 1500 silverado cuz i have wide rim and tires in a 91 chevy

Don't put spacers on 2wd with wide wheels....

LuisT LTZ hubs are the same. Trucks with 4x4 hubs are only stronger because they have a cv axle that runs through them. More bolts holding the hub to the truck =stronger

As long as they are installed correctly you should not see any issues towing with them! Check out our wheel spacers here! customoffsets.com/spacers

Generally you lower the torque but about 10-15% because your studs can stretch and become weaker over time. It's just so you don't shear or stretch your studs when you re-torque your lugs.

Mines have held up 6.5years and still running strong, been through mud sand and floods most of its time

The same physics hold your spacers on your hub that hold a wheel on the hub. There's no difference.

Will hold up fine but with spacers and offsets your wheel bearings will wear 5x faster than normal

Jake Garzo That’s what I figure I bet they have no issues as a daily commuter but I put 15k 20k a year on rough dirt roads and I can’t see how they wouldn’t cause issues.

Definitley will cause extra wear. Don't know about 5x.

Send an email to sales@customoffsets.com and they should be able to help you figure out what would work best for dually setups with larger tires!

No such thing as a stupid question when youre learning. And that is a very commonly asked question, you should not need an alignment after installing wheel spacers.

The major issue with lower quality spacers is that they are not hub centric which can lead to studs being sheered off. Torque specs definitely play into it also.

You do not need to realign a vehicle when adding spacers or changing wheels Ken. As for laws, that is upon the customer to decide! In Wisconsin we're not allowed more then 2" out, but most cops don't care!

Custom Offsets I'm in Massachusetts and were even allowed 2 inches if it's a 4x4 or awd vehicle lol

Actually the toe will change. Alignments take into consideration the force pushing the wheels to the outside door to bushing and ball joint play.

Ken O'Day but if you steering components aren't clapped tf out it's not gonna change anything. certified Hunter alignment technician

Because ALL bushings and ball joints have play, the vehicle manufacturers figure that in to their alignment specs. If your front end parts are "clapped out" as you say then an alignment is impossible.
