The Importance of Wheel Spacers

There are many parts on a modified car, including wheels, brakes etc. However, few people think about vehicle spacers. In fact, wheel spacers are harder for the average passer-by to spot at a glance.

Many people wonder whether it is necessary to add spacers to a vehicle. Do they only add to the aesthetics of a vehicle and have no practical significance? Let's have a discussion.

The role of wheel spacers

Apart from the aesthetic benefits, their important purpose is to increase the wheelbase on top of the original wheelbase. This makes the vehicle more stable during the dynamic process of cornering.

Of course, the stability of the car during cornering is also influenced by other components. However, if these factors remain unchanged, the wider the wheelbase, the lower the lateral weight transfer, which leads to a higher degree of cornering stability.

Of course, we cannot simply conclude from theory alone that the thicker the vehicle spacers used the greater the increase in cornering stability. The use of wheel spacers that do not match the thickness of the vehicle is not only aesthetically unpleasant, it is also not aerodynamic and affects the driving performance of the vehicle.

It is clear from the above that the wheel spacers fill the gap between the vehicle's wheel hubs and the wheel brow. The overall effect of the car has been effectively improved compared to before the modification, making the car appear wider.

Conclusion

Spacers do more than add to the aesthetics. However, spacers that do not match the thickness of the vehicle can have a direct impact on how the vehicle drives. Poor quality or improperly fitted spacers can lead to wheel wobble. In extreme cases, there is a safety risk of the wheel flying off. This is why choosing a wheel spacer with good workmanship and quality should not be overlooked.
