Wheel Spacers
Wheel spacers are devices installed between a vehicle's wheel hub and the wheel itself. They effectively push the wheel outward from the hub, increasing the track width. This can be beneficial for various reasons.
Firstly, wheel spacers can improve a vehicle's stability and handling. By widening the track, the car has a broader base, which can enhance grip and reduce body roll during cornering. This is particularly useful in performance or off-road driving scenarios.
Secondly, spacers can help with wheel fitment issues. If you've upgraded to aftermarket wheels and they don't clear the brake calipers or suspension components, spacers can provide the necessary clearance. They also allow for more customisation in wheel and tyre combinations, giving you greater flexibility in your vehicle's appearance and performance.
Additionally, wheel spacers can be used for aesthetic purposes. They can give your vehicle a more aggressive stance by pushing the wheels flush with or beyond the fender line. This can enhance the visual appeal, making your car stand out more.
However, it's important to choose the right size and type of spacer for your vehicle and ensure they're installed correctly. Poorly chosen or fitted spacers can cause vibrations, wheel misalignment, and even compromise safety. Always consult with a professional or refer to your vehicle's specifications when considering wheel spacers.
