    Damn it. I need to learn how to do this. But you lost my child mind at "crack it off" 😂

    I've installed spacers on a few vehicles of mine, and have a couple of suggestions. I'd put some anti-seize or high-temp grease on the back of the spacers, to stop them from galvanizing to the hubs. Most spacers are aluminum, most hubs aren't, so the anti-seize or grease will help prevent the two dissimilar metals from bonding to each other. Also, I put some thread locker on the nuts that secure the spacers to the hubs.

    Are these spacers worth it for the more aggressive look? Or should I just save up for wider wheels. I have a 09 xr5 on lowering king springs.

      You don't have to go wider wheels, just a different offset if you are just trying to fill the guards out more. Wheel spacers are a much cheaper option in that regard but if you're in Australia need to be aware that wheel spacers aren't street legal in any state unless vehicle came with them from factory (ie some Porsche models)

    Will I need to get an alignment done after I put these on? Also, would these be suitable for an XR5 Mondeo?

      no alignment wont change, wheel will just sit out further from the hub and yep will fit a Mondeo XR5

    Would it be safe to add anti seize on the back of the spacers and what would be a great brand/material to use?

    • @OEMDeniedPerformance
      @OEMDeniedPerformance  Před 7 měsíci +1

      would be the same as if there was no spacer due to wheels also being alloy. I use wurth myself but dont grease hubs

    Do I Need To Get An Alignment Done Before I Put New Wheels, Tires & Spaces On My Car? Especially If You Have To Hold The Wheel At An Angle, My Car Veers Off To The Right Slightly When I Drive If I Let The Wheel Go For A Few Seconds. Also, My Car Has 16s On It & I Plan To Put 17s On.

      Fitting wheel spacers or changing wheels will not change the suspension geometry. But I would have an alignment done after you have replaced the tyres because sounds like you have an alignment issue. If tyres are currently worn, the car wont be sitting level due to uneven wear so have the alignment done straight after new wheels/tyres have been installed.

    Hi, do you have any issues with the hub thread fouling the mounting surface of the wheel when mounted to the spacer?

    • @OEMDeniedPerformance
      @OEMDeniedPerformance  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I think you might mean stud thread as there is no thread on the hubs? But no, factory wheels have a recess that the stud will sit into. Most aftermarket wheels do too but some are solid with no recess so depends on your wheel

      @@OEMDeniedPerformance thank you. Yes stud thread is what I meant, the original stud thread that the spacer now bolts onto 🙂👍

    Hello mate, are these better than the regular spacers, as I would presume they are ....

    • @OEMDeniedPerformance
      @OEMDeniedPerformance  Před rokem +1

      They are forged & hub centric so yes I would say they are miles better than slip on cheap jobbies that you can buy at Auto Barn or Supercheap Auto

    So we can convert the original wheel pcd as well as the number studs?

    • @OEMDeniedPerformance
      @OEMDeniedPerformance  Před rokem +2

      yes if you are fitting different PCD spacers like converting from 5x108 to 5x114 but remember to factor in for the wheel spacers being 20mm thick when choosing the offset of your wheels
