Watch Before Buying WHEEL SPACERS!!! BIGGEST MISTAKE 

Note to self: always check the comments before wasting my time watching the video...

Click bait..

Yep Ross. Vid was a full-on waste of time, expecting some mommies little rich boy's truck to implode..but hey it reeled in over 100,000 of us.

When you use a hub-centric spacer, the hub acts as a pilot which helps carry the load of the wheel. If you don't use a hub-centric spacer, then the only thing you're relying on to hold your wheels radially are the lugs. Also you're relying on the taper of the lug nuts to "center" your wheel, and there's no guarantee those tapers are machined concentrically. In machine building, the motors we use - whether stepper or servo, has a pilot on its base, similar to the hub on the axle, which fits snugly to a machined base. In this way, when the the motor is bolted to the base, the stresses on the bolts are limited to only shear, and they don't absorb much torsional stress.

Install em right lol

Just buy hub centric rings. When you order wheels majority of them come with them

Yup...wish I had that 15 minutes of my life back....first of all, those “more expensive” spacers are the same cast as you would buy off eBay, in fact they probably have a wholesale contract with an eBayer! They just stuck some stickers they made on there and some rubber caps on top of the studs and jacked up the price...in reality, hubcentric wheel spacers are designed for the front axle of a truck...the front wheels are the only wheels on knuckles that turn...and they are piloted by the hubs firstly and lugs secondly....the rear wheel doesn’t matter, as it doesn’t turn so there is no lateral torque against them...the most important thing with spacers is to make sure they are torqued, torqued again, and torqued probably three times after that...I’ve used 1/2” flange nuts as spacers on aluminum rims and 35s and they worked fine!!!it was actually more expensive to buy all that hardware than four 1/2” rings!! So I hope someone finds this helpful rather than listening to this kid who’s driving around a truck worth more than most people’s houses and doesn’t have the know-how to install his own spacers...sorry just can’t stand cheap chevys buttoned up to look nice....Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques...CHEVROLET!!

to get the wheel to rest on the hub get some hub centeric rings.

I have 3inch wheel spacers from eBay no nicks or anything on my truck and no problems with mine had them for 3 years

This is ebay wheel spacers with a fkn sticker on it

Your my first dislike in 13 years of having my account

Don't use a impact on spacers..

I don’t trust nobody with my spacer , one time the Mecanic didn’t ties the spacer ! So I always rotate my tires and retorque my spacer by myself

I got boras , I received them in perfect condition they came well packaged. So far I got them on with a 6 inch lift and they've held up really good no problems and I of road my truck pretty good..

Looked better before the wheel spacers.

I used to run 2” spacers up front and 3” in the rear of my old Chevy and never had an issue

I heard “Hub Centric” about 1000x more than I needed to

i get quite a laugh when these kids driving around in heavy duty diesel trucks costing upwards of 75k or more and they tow or haul nothing, but rather a status of parents income

Mistake #1 ......didn't torque the spacer or wheel.....for gmc/chevy truck its 140 ft lbs.... you're welcome

dude a tool box in the bed of that truck would look so dope lmao even if there is no use for it!

I have hub centric spacers from US Wheel Adapters. I called in the measurements and they custom make them. Flawless finish, nice people. It did take a few weeks but I didn’t want any short cuts. My Fuel wheel mates to the spacer.

I got my wheel adapters from BORA, i dont really recall any nicks/scratches but one of them did not wanna slid onto the hub on the rear. But this truck is a 99 z-71 with 240k miles, so i blame the hub really on that. They packaging was decent but minimum i think, but wheel adapters are HEAVY so they get banged up in shipping is y there always like that.

2 inch rough country spacers came in flawless.

That’s a nice truck. Something tells me daddy bought it for you.

That’s because you didn’t install a centric ring for those wheels 🤦‍♂️

Paint them rear calipers JW. Truck looks good boss.

It actually looks less good man.

Whimpie back legs is what you did. There is no argument there, it’s blatant facts

idk Montoya the volume of the intro literally made me shat my pants with earphones in but i love the intro itself!

Where I live if your tires sticks out of the wheel you have to put fenders over it

mine came off of ebay and they were hub centric, it helps to center the wheel, the lugs won't help with centering the wheels not one bit. i've had them now on my jeep for a few years with no problems art all.

The gayness of these two is off of the charts.

They were 2 inch spacers ? I can’t believe how much of a difference 2 makes . They actually looked bigger then that . I’m thinking about putting spacers on my truck . It looked pretty easy to do

I just saw a teenage tacuache truck video before this and I thought that was the dumbest video I've seen. Boy did you prove me wrong.

I hate the tires/rice sticking out so much like that 👎🏼... woot woot 🍾🇺🇸

i Accidentally jumped my single cab 1999 chevy s10 off sone train tracks with 2.5” spacers in rear and 2.75” spacers in front and they where fine. felt like i was 3-4 ft in air with lowering kit on. truck came off the ground Immediately and made everything inside the truck fly around.. laned flat rode away with no problems. using same spacer on my new v6 s10 and it does great

why do this strictly for look and not what that truck is going to perform like after the install, all you say is i like the look of this and i like the look of that, people who have trucks for look are just not practical or live at home with mom and dad.

Use Bora hub centric Each set is custome made for your truck They are the best

Just a question. How come you didn't go with rough country wheel spacer again?. I don't want to wait a month either for some spacers

Good god take those ugly wheel spacers off that looks awful!!!!

Did you lock tight them and Re torque them after a few drives

I ordered from custom offsets 2in spacers and still have not gotten them and its been over 4 weeks. Thinking about doing an update about it on my page

I don’t get why people do this to their trucks unless they have fender flares to compensate for the space. It looks unnatural and stupid.

wheel spacers Hi all, Will the 25mm rear spacer and 20mm front spacer damage the wheels, suspension and bushing in the long run?

I bought aftermarket wheels for my car and I’ve noticed a lot of balancing issues, I’m using hub centric rings with them because it’s required, but I’m wondering if maybe wheel spacers will help with the balancing issues...

The back wheels being “whimpy” is called a bulldog stance and most chevys and gmcs naturally have it.

"This just in"! T6 6061 aluminum is t6 6061 aluminum, grade 8 hardened steel studs are grade 8 hardened steel studs, from eBay or a puff puff pass well known brand name retainer just turning a bigger profit off your naivety, fanboyism and faith in a sticker.

If I recall, you did get your replacement spacer from Bora right? You even tried to give away the knicked one. At least thats what I remember

Yea don’t think I’d use spacers with any flaws.

$300 for wheel spacers for a full sized truck is extremely cheap. For that price you can file down a little dent. The ones I run are $700 steel spacers because I use my truck as a truck.

Everybody that orders from bora is about a 2-4 week wait to receive them because they’re made to order basically. They’re not held in stock. Also even though you bought lug centric wheels you can get a hub spacer that goes into the back of the week and mounts on your hub which would make it hub centric. Just my two cents but

What are you gonna do with the straight pipe? Axle dump? 👀

they can last a really long time it just depends on how you treat your tuck

i don't use aluminum i used solid cast spacer

They used a air gun instead of a torque wrench

What are you gonna do with the straight pipe? Axle dump? 👀

video title should be watch before buying a duramax lol

Does it do that in the thumbnail cause of the control arms ?

I got my bora spacers perfect condition no dings no scratches

Dude it’s like this u only spent 300$ on adapter/spacers that is cheap & a month ain’t too bad I spent right at $500 on a set of Adaptec Speedware hubcentric 33mm adapter not a scratch or nick on them & 2years later no problem. It’s like this why would u want to play with your safety & other ppls safety on the road. They only told u that u don’t need hubcentric cause they prob don’t carry them. Hope u learned a lesson. Safety first

Not subbing, just passing by

He learned a new word today: hub centric.

37” for a mall crawler, it will definitely get over them curbs.

Who is going to be looking at your wheel spacers? So what if it has nicks or dings. They are going to be out of site

I was hoping to see your tire break off. Should've known this video was made in china. Or made by china. Lmao

are u still able to drive-thru a bank atm drive-thru without rubbing?

Surprise there’s no JACK STANDS. I don’t have the 🏀 to do that

i find up to 15mm spacers ok and dont cause too much extra stress on suspension

Those spacers on those wheels are ridiculous. Also illegal in many areas. You were better off without them. Forget about “cheap” just look at the material. T-6 6061 with grade 12.9 bolts. I don’t care what they cost. Yes, Hub centric ARE better. If YOUR aftermarket wheels aren’t made to fit properly, that’s on the wheel MFG. You shouldn’t need hub spacers with aftermarket wheels. Get the spacing you want to start. EVERY wheel spacer is going to have nicks and scratches after 5 minutes off road. Bora is not the only option for hub centric.

When I saw Johns truck in the intro :,(

Yeah i helped my next door neighbor putting on the same wheel spacers you bought and it have huge cracks on his dually and they where dented.

I would complain about the nicks on the spacers, but only because spacers are so overpriced to begin with. $300+ for 4 blocks of aluminum, they are making a killing on these they can afford to send another set.

Looks amazing. You possibly already answered this but is there a reason why you didn’t do a McGaughys lift on your 2500?

quick question?? why buy spacers instead of just buying a wider rim if you want it to poke out. ijs This is my first lifted truck. just wanna know. what are the pros and cons of spacers. Holla back.!

I'd never do this to my truck. No f way.

Rough Country is the largest lift company in the world and they're products are made in America. Don't believe the hype of other companies that want better profit margins. I've never had a single problem with any of their products. TRUTH BOMB!!!! ;)

I just got 2" hubcentrics there's no Mark's on them. Maybe some lazy idiot sent you used ones. I can definitely see that happening

you do need hub centric rings not spacer spacers are to stick out your tires mainly the hubcentric rings would of saved you all the drama and money.

Mine have nicks and scratches and they aren't cheap ones either

They didn't Even put thread locker on😭

Who's on first what's on second don't know who's on third

Is 30mm safer??

Any parts you purchase should be perfect new condition with no nicks or scratches. This is what I hate about after market parts no quality control and customer service is a joke. Fuck those assholes and there shit quality parts...

The thumbnail screams kachow! 😂😭

how about hub centric rings

Just use hub rings to make it fit your wheels and properly torquing a wheel on when it is off is absolutely bad

where your order bora spacers....

Incoming the “eBay spacers are just as good” or “hub centric doesn’t do anything” comments

#Bighatnocattle These fools have never used a truck for work.

Scratches on a wheel spacer? Seriously?

I like the part where it broke

Typical truck guy cant drive a stick shift. I really am the only guy with a truck that can drive stick haha

How does one change a flat tire on a lifted truck? Is there any jack stands that can lift a lifted truck?

Where did u get that duramax mafia sticker

when are you going to fix your exhaust

Just got some and zero nicks

Metal on metal equally scratches

Ebay wheel spacers? Ebay sells Bora.

Why didnt you put them on yourself? Jk I know the reason.

Is it me or is this kid just constantly repeating himself but more whinny everytime???
