Everything You Need to Know About Wheel Spacers // ARE THEY ACTUALLY SAFE?

Can I get a like for the dirt on my face? 🐛

This is a SOLID video. Really well put together and thoroughly explained. Thanks for sharing this great content.

Dude that had to of been the best instruction video I have seen I really found it very professional clear and thorough keep em coming

My guy here does an incredible job explaining everything in detail about what you need to know about spacers.

This was super clear and useful without a lot of nonsense or fluff. Thank you very much for sharing. I believe I can now make informed decisions on how to proceed with my big brake, suspension and wheel upgrades.

Thanks for the great info! I recently bought a car and the owner had put 4x4.0” wheels on a car that is 4x100. At high speeds it would shake badly. I just ordered new wheels and an adapter. It’s difficult to find 12” 4x100 wheels!

Excellent video, thanks. Just another point to remember is to use the same design of the OEM bolt head when fitting the aftermarket extended bolts, ie don’t mix radius with tapered.

100% solid video, answered all my questions. Appreciate the hard work and info!

Really digging your content and realizing your from Ontario makes it even better.. good shit bro! Keep it up!

First off want to say what a great informative video that cleared up my confusion on adapters vs spacers .Personally I only need a 12 mm(1/2”) spacer to clear my new calipers .. my question is concerning my ride quality and handling going forward… with a updated wheel alignment would I see changes / issues with cornering and handling performance … thanks

amazing video, thanks for making this. certainly has shed some light for me!!!

First video I see on the channel and its awesome. Very well explained!!!

Your the greatest man!! Detailed and informative 👌

Super informative and in depth ! My only question is, is it safe to run slip on with stock studs if I’m still getting the required safe recommended rotation of the lug nut ?

One of the BEST video ever, very professional, informative and good quality of audio and video :) Rock guyz

Without any doubt the best video I’ve seen on wheel spacers. I know now what I need and how to install them. Thank you for your time.

That was an amazing schooling. Thank you very much 🙏🏽

Great review; professional and thorough. Thank you very much!

Dude - I really enjoy the videos you make. They are very well filmed and also extremely informative. Keep doing them please! My question to you when you get around to it ... debunk the WD40 headlight fix miracle I am seeing all over youtube. Does WD40 clear out yellowed headlights?

Fantastic video…really well explained, good level of technical detail but skilful presented, so still easy to understand. Well done!!
👏👏👏

What a wonderful video, no lies, nothing but great and accurate information. None of this "This is your Boy" BS, No stupid music that last and last, no of this was brought by this company and that company. I hope you get all the view you deserve! Triple

interesting analysis on slip on and bolt on spacers. You actually made me hit pause on my decisions as I now have to revisit and reevaluate which of the two is most efficient option for my F150 STX. Spacers seem to be the easier and cheaper option than offset rims for an older model truck. Not really feeling put $3K work of rims and tires on 12 year old truck

Great presentation. Research scrub radius and the effect of too much offset on scrub and wheel bearings.

most informative car channel i have come across thankyou

this helped me alot. Will absolutely be buying the BONOSS bolt ons. Thanks for the review and info.

Best video yet in my option :) watched quite a few before I cut my stock studs down to be able to mount the wheel adapter ( to change bolt pattern to fit rims on our 2009 Tahoe . Guy sold me new 2018 Colorado rims and that’s 6x120 and I needed 6x5.5) . So I’m going to make sure I have enough lug nut rotations prior to cutting all 24 of them 😝 thanks again ! Sadly this great deal on 200.00 rims has turned out to be a hurdle each time I jack it up 😂 I also learned that I have the shiny non anodized spacers but it does have 12.9 studs. So I should clean sand and spray rustoleum on it? Any suggestions? I’m in hawaii so got it new in 2009 and we still have less than 90k miles.

absolutely clear explanation. thank you very much. you are a nice instructor.

Thank you, learned so much!! I’ll keep you updated to what I do!

I loved your last video about putting wheel spacers on your Nissan! Now I can learn even more! Keep up the fantastic vids!!👍

Nice and informative vids. Thinking about adding spacers to my 08 4x4 f-150 to see if it accommodates 35's without leveling it. Please advice.
Thanks.

Great info. Thank you! NO BS. Just info! Great Job!

Great info.
Question is. Owned a 2017 Mercedes Benz CLA 250. Planning on putting some wheel spacers on it. 15mm at the back and 10mm up front. Do you have any idea what the hub bore size should be for the spacers, don’t want any vibration down the road. Thanks

Hey, so I installed new coilovers and now I need wheel spacers. After measuring it looks like I could go with 20mm spacers. But I think going with 10 or 12.5 mm spacers (or very max 15 mm) is the safer option, because I don't want my wheels to rub on the body. Do you think it will still make the car look better or should I really go with 20mm?

Informative, my old 911 has 2 inch front and 3 inch back spacers.

Homie, your video was super informative and helpful for what I’m trying to do on my daily driver 2012 civic. Thanks man 👍

Very informative and in depth! Awesome video bro 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great, and well explained video. Thank you

Very informative. Well done. Thank you very much.

delivered as promised! I wanted to know and you provided, thanks. I have an RX350 Lexus that I am looking for spacers specifically for the rear

Your great very educational very clear good job on sharing this vdo

Very informative and all-encompassing video! You talked about potentially having to shave down your studs. How do you know if your spacers will clear your factory studs without taking me wheels off and measuring the length sticking out? My wheels have additional holes as it fits multiple bolt patterns, but I'm not sure if those other holes would be where the factory studs stick out after I bolt the wheel to the spacer. Thanks!

Hi.
I am going to install IMS suspension with 2" lift and 30mm spacers.
My tire size is 265/65/R17
I hope this is sufficient to prevent any rollovers.

i have a 2011 honda accord, what spacers would you advice to put just for a right stance like your civic.🙂

Great video! Thanks for the information.
Any recommendations for use with original 18” wheels on a 2020 Corolla SE?

Great review. Thanks for your knowledge.

This is perhaps the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on spacers.

I’m thinking of ordering a set of 5mm hubcentric spacers, but it doesn’t have a lip to complement the larger bore of an aftermarket wheel. Would you suggest using the spacer and adding on hubcentric rings as well?

Good info as I’m in the market for some spacers for my Mazda. Thanks

Best video and explanation ever about spacers

Bro! Amazing video! Thank you so much!

What a well-done video.

This was the best video I have watched as I consider adding spacers to my 2019 Passat Wolfsburg Edition. The inset of the wheels is the only thing I don’t like about the appearance of my VW.

Great video, I have been looking for a good video talking about wheel spacers.

I would like to buy one for my Mini Cooper s R56 2012 . Which one do you recommend for me . I like your Mini Cooper setup.. thanks good info

Love the video only thing confusing me is the twork concept? How many turns you have to do on each nuds..
Also you have to trim the studs on the bolt on spacer to the exact length of the studs on the car?

Complete information, very useful for safety. Thank you

What about a vehicle that would see mild off-roading such as a 4Matic? Is that safe to use the thicker spacers? you mentioned The Track but didn't hit on off-road/rally :)

When I was looking for the exact same spacer you installed on your Civic on your video, the Bonoss website did not bring up any spacer for 2012 Civic Si. Which exact one did you install? Can you share the link? Also in the video you installed the 20mm while in the description FAQ section you mentioned you installed the 15mm. Was the 20mm too wide and was rubbing? Thank you!

Thank you for a such a detailed and informative video..

*Here's a question for you, since you actually answer them: I have a 2015 Ford Transit 350-HD with DRW. I recently had it converted to 4x4, including Eaton Trutrack 4.10 gears to replace the OEM LSD 3.71 pumpkin in the rear. The tires are one size over stock, which cleared the leaf springs before the conversion, but now the sidewall of the right side inner tire will occasionally rub against the edge of the leaf springs, but not always. Only for brief durations, and not seriously.*
*I figure the easiest way to solve the problem would be 1/4" slip-on spacers and longer wheel studs, probably 70 mm. The only possible catch is the wheels are hubcentric. The hub bore on a factory stock steel wheel is 5.456" - 5.457". My outer wheels are Ford OEM 5 slot aluminum wheels, which are approximately 1/4" thick, but the factory wheel lugs currently give me full thread coverage. I believe I'll have to change them to 70 mm. Do you have the hubcentric spacers I would need?*

Great video. I lowered my 2019 Mazda3 and decided to go with the slip on spacers and extended studs for simplicity and safety. Yes installing extended studs cost me an hour and a half of my life that I’ll never get back, but something about bolt on spacers always freak me out.

Thanks for your information.

Hi thanks for the vid. Anyone know where or what I should buy for a 2014 panamera deisel please?

How do they effect ride and suspension in the long run? Especially going long distances?

Can I combine a slip-on spacer with a hubcentric ring though? (for a wheel that has a 75mm bore vs my hubs 66.6mm bore)

I have two German cars, my wife's is a 2001 2ltr W203 and I have used the same process and brand, except that they are wheel lugs. For this one I would like to know if I can fit an adapter type spacer from the Mercedes fitment to bring it out to 114.3 bolt pattern? I have heard of the 120pcd to 114.3pcd and also the other way around but with lug bolts I am not sure?
The other car is a BMW X5 and to be honest I am not in love with lug bolts at all, it runs staggered wheels 10" rears and 9" fronts and I would really like to make them fill out the wheel well just that bit nicer. It is a 2006 E53d, standard BMW rims and the only other thing I might consider is to fit 10" on the front and then fill them out or just change to wheel studs. What is your thoughts on this?
Thank you for a very excellent lesson on wheel spacers. Well done!

Excellent video Milan and very informative.....how wide can you go before you start stressing your wheel hubs and bearings ????

Hey my freind, i just grabbed a set of acura tsx 17×7 wheels -55 off set, these will be going on my 2001 accord, can you tell me what size spacer to use or recommend?

can't you use the slip on spacers with longer than stock wheel lug bolts?

I want to put 3/4 inch slip on spacers. My current lug studs are 1 inch. Do you recommend I use 1.5 inch studs or 2 inch ones? Thanks.

Solid info. Wish I found this sooner!

Loving those RSX Type-S wheels!!!!!

The hub centric ones are the best of course, great video!!!

Top video .thanks for info.
👍👍👍👍

I need to adapt some rims that have both 5x114.3 and 5x100 to my car that is 5x108, it is a peugeot 407. Is that size available? Either of the sizes will work. I would prefer the 5x100 patern

Do you need to install extended studs for a 5mm slip-on Spacer or it is only on larger ones? I have a 2018 Lexus IS300 F-Sport if that can help you (I need to clear my caliper for just a bit). Thanks in advance !

Great video!! Very informative!
Clarification so I understand correctly.. so if I just need 8mm spacers I would need extended studs?
I’ve seen other videos where they just slip-on the spacers less than 10mm.

Informative vid!
Question: I bought 15mm hub centric wheel spacers, is it ok to put a hub rings since the wheel spacer’s hub bore is 64.1 and my after market wheel is 73.1?

Great video! This is information. I ha e a question. I saw that they had 2 different model numbers for the g37 coupes. BONOSS Forged AL7075-T6 Active Cooling 5×114.3 Hubcentric Wheel Spacers for Infiniti G37, BONOSS Forged AL6061-T6 Active Cooling Hubcentric 5×114.3 Wheel Spacers for Infiniti G37
I'm trying to figure out which one to get. Thank you.

Im wanting to do wheel spacers because I want to put caliper covers on. Which spacer should I go with?

really great video. thank you!

Thank you for this interesting and very informative video. Greetings from Baden near Vienna, Austria.

For a minute you looked like Adam LZ 😆

What spacers did you use and size for this setup? I am going to put 05/06 Rsx wheels on my 9th gen. Thank you in advance.

Fantastic walkthrough! Was actually only looking for how to measure the desired thickness but learned basically everything else. :D What size spacer do you go with when the "3 oclock and 9 oclock" of the tire are essentially flush but the "12 oclock" needs up to 15mm to flush up?

Great video, excellent info! Well done!

Does the oem wheel torque changes if you use wheel spacers?

What size extended lug bolts to use on a 15mm and a 5mm spacers?

Best video on spacers. Very detailed.

i missed this guy so much...

May I use different spacer at my truck, running a ranger raptor. 35mm in front, 60mm in rear.... any recomandation sir? Is it safe? Thank u

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

Good job. Thank you. 👍🏻

Haven’t watched your videos in a while. But the mustache is looking good👍👍👍

What were the extended studs that you used I’m trying o find the seller...

Hey this is a perfect video cause I'm doing the BBK conversion on my G37 Sedan and I have wheels that I will need to have a spacer to clear the front calipers. I'm certain all I need is a 5mm spacer. My question is, do you think I need extended studs? Or do you think a 5mm slip on spacer will be sufficient with stock length studs? I have the stock OEM Enkei 18 inch wheels (not the duckfeet wheels).

QUESTION: what if I put on 1.5 spacers and I need a little more, could I add a 1/4" slip on if I upgrade the studs? can you run double spacers?

if i want to run a 13mm slip on style spacer do i have to change my bolts? will my stock hub bolts be long enough to use? really don't want to mess around with my stock parts if i don't need to.

Do the BONOSS brand spacers have a matte or glossy black anodized finish?

I have them on my challenger and I have had wheel spacers on many many vehicles and they don’t really hurt anything if they aren’t more than 1.5 inches maybe 2 at the most
