Wheel Spacers & Adapters

Wheel spacers are devices that are installed between the wheel and the axle hub. They create additional space between the two, allowing for a wider range of motion and increased stability. They bolt onto the hub and have studs that go through the spacer and screw into the wheel. This keeps the spacer in place and doesn't allow it to move around. Here's a guide on how to install wheel spacers.

Wheel spacers come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, so it's important to choose the right ones for your car. Here at SuncentAuto, you can enter the year, make, model, and trim of your vehicle to shop for the exact fit easily.

Benefits of Wheel Spacers

Give Your Vehicle a Better Appearance

Wheel spacers improve the appearance of your vehicle. They push the tires outside so that they are perfectly aligned, making them stand out among other vehicles. Aggressively sized wheel spacers can also make your car look distinctively special.

Provide Improved Handling

Another major benefit of spacers for rims is that they increase stability and improve handling. The spacers provide more width between the front and the rear wheels, which provides a more stable platform to lather on performance-oriented handling. Wheel spacers improve the driving closeness and traction of vehicles by providing greater track spacing. This enhances handling and stability on the road.

Proper wheel fitment

The wheel spacers also ensure the wheels are correct for your car. If you notice a set of wheels that is not properly offset for your automobile, you can utilize wheel spacers to set them properly. The wheel spacers not only set the tires to a higher position but also can be used to bring the wheel fender liner.

Main Types of Wheel Spacers

There are two main types of wheel spacers: hub-centric and lug-centric. Hub-centric wheel spacers fit over the hub, while lug-centric wheel spacers fit between the wheel and the lug nuts.

Hub-centric wheel spacers are typically easier to install, since they don't require any special tools or adapters. They're also less likely to vibrate than lug-centric wheel spacers. However, they can be more expensive than lug-centric wheel spacers, and they don't always fit perfectly onto every vehicle's hub.

Lug-centric wheel spacers are a type of spacer that is used to space out the wheels on a vehicle. They are called lug-centric because they are designed to be used with vehicles with lug nuts that protrude from the center of the wheel. This type of spacer is typically made from aluminum or steel and is attached to the wheel using lug nuts.
