How to PROPERLY Install Wheel Spacers
Vložit

- In this video, I show you how to professional mount and install wheel spacers on your car. I am using Bolt-on wheel spacers in this application. For the front, I am installing a 25mm wheel spacer, whereas in the rear, I am installing 38mm wheel spacers. After all is said and done, my OEM wheels will be flush to my fender, I will be able to clear my BBK (to be released), and I will get more even lateral load transfer, resulting me in more traction. Thanks for watching!!

Im sitting here with all the basic tools and this man just keeps pulling out tools from the woodworks lol
😂😂😂
I had to spend 571$ on tools just to do the job because no mechanic wanted to do it for me😡
@@crush9197 if you become friend's with a mechanic he'll probably ask you to pay him a small fee to do it, no mechanic will do it cause they don't want to be blamed for an accident that accured on your car thats why
I’ve had my wheel spacers on my car for over two years now and they’re still holding up great... This is literally the only video I would recommend for ppl.
how often do you have to re torque them and how big were the spacers?
@@jaredharrell5751 re torque every 5000 miles
great video..finally a before and after demonstration
Absolutely goddamn right, no unnecessary talking and opinions, just straight down to the point...
This is literally one of the best car videos out there. I wish I saw everyone with car videos explain clearly, be well spoken, and be very informative like you
Thanks Bryant! Happy to hear you enjoyed it
you also need to re-torque them after a day or around 100 miles of driving after installing wheel spacers or whenever you change a tire.
Seems like too much work for me. I'll stick with standard.
or use red/blue loctite
I know this comment was a long time ago but I have a question: Do you have to re-torque just the spacers onto the car, the wheel onto the spacers or both wheel and spacers?
@@increase9896 well, since you have to take the wheels off to get to the spacers........lol
@@increase9896 Both wheel and spacers. if you don't torque one of them they will fall off during driving and that is a very expensive mistake
This was a really well done video. I was expecting you to babble on for 20 minutes like most diy CZcamsrs. Thanks!
Dude, your blinker fluid is so low..
😅😅😅
god damn it gavin
Erblin Kurtishi what blinkers need fluid fuck havnt did mine in years
What the hell is a blinker that needs fluid?
Erblin Kurtishi just had to buy new piston return springs.. damn shame
Great video. Well spoken, well shot and to the point. Thank you.
Great video! Im about to order some but before i do , do i measure my new off set rims or my original hubs? You should make a video of how to measure spacers
Nice vid, right to the point and the before and after comparisons were really helpful. Looks much nicer.
Excellent video Milan! BTW aluminium doesn't corrode the way you think it does. The corrosion is called aluminium oxide which turns to a really hard layer (surface). That hard layer actually protects the aluminium from further corrosion. Not saying the added insurance isn't necessary because I would do the same thing your doing.
Man, really good video, didn't think about using that no corrosion brake coating. Really good information, keep up the good work man! :D
can't believe how far in the wheels sit standard! looks terrible! much better with the spacers.
I think it's because they don't want the track to be wider than x-amount. But make the car bigger nontheless. Had the same on my Honda Accord CU1.
Very helpful and well produced, so thanks for posting.
You're videos are the best man! i've probably seen all of them in these past like 2 weeks and I've done a lot to my car this week thanks to you! I was wondering if you can possible post a video on how to add the sound deadening to a car and how to take off different panels of a car, how to change lights to some aftermarket ones, more stuff under the hood like changing the headers of your engine. Haha you made me want to do so much! Can't wait for future videos! See ya later!
+JoshJimenez64 Funny you mention that :) Take a guess what the next video coming out is lol
dude thank you for all your information you are helping me out so much and it ain't even funny
I've been wondering about the re torque and how that works? Do u wind up having to take off ur tire to re torque the spacer and then 100km later re torque your wheel?
I run blue lock tight too on the studs both spacer and hub ... I’ve had mine come loose from vibration
You did a great job on the video. Great suggestion on the anti-seize. It may not be necessary for everyone but it's not bad to suggest one might benefit from it.
Quick question if you don't mind? How did you know what size to get to make them flush? I have a 2006 accord trying to do the same. But I'm sure each model and year is different. Thanks for time!
Great video! Great info and well presented. Subscribed!
Excellent, perfect video. Seriously.
Thank you
LOOKS A LOT BETTER!!! (before and after)
Is there any other way to tighten the spacer bolts to the hub by ourselves, or do we need another person to step on the brakes?
what size rotor would I need for a 4 piston caliper? and do the adapters come with the caliper kit?
Awesome video good explanation and great ending
Love this video. Keep it up bro. 👍🏻
Dude I saw your video on your awning like yesterday haha and here I am again
Nice video, I like the copper grease idea. I'm going to try that.
was it good ?
VERY GOOD PRACTICAL AND INFORMATIVE. KEEP IT UP.
Cooool... Exactly what I was looking for ;)
Thanks for the video. I'm getting these kind of spacers.
Great Video man...THANKS!
Do I need anti seize if I’m only using the spacer for the summer ?
Damn great video I subscribed
hey, i have an 8th gen accord as well, the link for the 38mm spacer isn't working though, could you post up another one?
Question here, plan to buy a new alloy wheels with 8 inch width. But my stock wheel is 7 inches. Do you think it does fit for 185 tire?
Do you have to keep torquing down your spacers periodically ?
Hey Milan, i have an 8th gen like yours but mine is hfp so lowered a bit. You think it would rub? Not really concerned about the rear but im scared the front will rub especially while turning. (NOT willing to fender roll or to stretch tires)
What are some of the cons to adding wheel spacers to your vehicle
Do I need to do wheel alignment if ever I put 10mm spacer in the rear?
Hey I know there have been news around the interwebs about wheel spacers causing more stress to your ball bearings. Is there any truth to this? I'd love to hear your long term review on this man. Thanks
Perfect tutorial . Well done :) Gold star bro ⭐️ Thank you
Glad you did the hub centric spacers.
any issues with handling due to change in the scrub radius?
you did a very good job..nice vid..!
Good vid! You have me sold!
Great video man!!!
+GT-Rrrrrrr THanks man!!
yo bro my car sterring wheel started bubbling alot after installing spacers. i got the wheel alignment and balancing done as well .is there any way to stop wheel bubbbling .
I was considering getting spacers for my 8th Gen coupe as well! Now I have a food idea on how to install them if I do end up buying them. Thanks!
+Luqman Baig Not a problem buddy!! :)
Be sure to get some wider rims to make sure that you're not adding any uneven pressure on your wheel bearings. Wheel spacers alone will put more force on to one side of the bearing than it's designed for, which leads to them wearing down faster and possibly damaging them over bumps.
@@brandonsever2576 How often do you re torque them?
this works with 25 mm coversion spacers. 4x100 to 4x114.3?
Very well made video...keep it up
Hi I have a 54.1 oem stock bore size , does the bore size on the spacer go to a 73.1 or 72.1 ?
anti-seize was the only thing you did wrong, it's the equivalent of spreading some mud between your rotor top hat and rim, you don't want there to be anything between the rim and mounting surface its attached to. if your that worried about corrosion simply clean/paint the rotor and hub assembly. Most people should never have to worry about wheels being seized to the hubs, most people change they're tires ever 3-4 years and as long as you actually wash your car your fine.
+MechRider89
most people rotate there tires
Wrong. I worked with Chrysler engineers. They always said torque and anti seize everything.
They're tires..... they are tires
Their tires..... the tires on that persons car.
Rotate there tires..... the place where the tires where rotated.
Rotate their tires..... rotating the tires that person has on their car.
@@jasonobrien2846 Anti seize is for threads not mating surfaces. Maximum clamping forces need clean mating face.
@@jasonobrien2846 And they are Americans so... yeah..
Hi I am big fan! Question: are wheel spacers safe? Do they hurt the car?? Will the wheel roll off?
Good informative video. Thanks, man.
+4dangler Cheers buddy :)
Does these fit a 2009 Acura TSX ?
Your car looks a lot better now!
That anti sieze aint gonna hurt sheit lol good shit bro
Hi Milan, i wanna know.. : How did you know the right size of spacer you need ? ( 25mm, 30 mm etc ) Bcause in my case, i just put 4 fender flares on my car.. and now my wheel look way to inside.. i need to make all of these pop about 1/2 inches from the fender..
I drive a 08 Accord coupe will the 25mm work for the rear wheels instead of the 38mm cause they’re out of stock
Should I add these on my 07 Tacoma?
Wow super informative! Really enjoyed the thoroughness of the video. Do you mind me asking why you went with 25mm in the front and 38mm in the rear? Lastly, did you use the stock lug nuts?
In his case he can use the stock lug nuts but for me I have lug bolts for Volkswagen and when I order spacers I will have to get longer bolts to compensate for the extra length (Spacer Size)
@@1Smallen23 ,how do you know???
I bought new rims for my car but they rub can The wheel spacers help for the rubbing plz let me know
Good vid bro, thanks
nice suv bro，like it
Great video and nice car
I think so .really helpful to us.Great.
Have a Merry Christmas Milan!
+Tatiana M Thanks Tatiana!!! You too :)
great video broski!
Thanks buddy! 👊
Any issues with the spacers thus far??? I want to put 2" spacers on my 2016 accord
Can i use LED lights for my honda are those legal
What if existing wheel studs are longer than the spacer? Won’t they protrude?
you deserved my like
hey man great vid thanks, i have a 06 grand cherokee with aftermarket 20" inch Novakane wheels, i want to add 38 mm or 50 mm spacers to JUST the back wheels to give it a very aggressive staggered stance? the back wheels dont turn so i cant see an issue with rubbing. My main question is, is it okay to use the wider spacers to just the back wheels. The wheels already sit past the fenders because they are aftermarket, but i want more!!
+vanessa campbell it is okay, but I would be careful with your local laws. Most provinces/states will fail you and ticket you if your wheel is protruding past the fender. As a mechanical standpoint, you can do it, but from a legal standpoint, get ready to fork out some money from tickets. :)
Just got these in the mail today. 25mm front and 38mm rear wheel spacers. The link for the 25mm wheel spacers listed are out of stock so I got the same brand as the 38mm link.
chuct23 do you have hfp or stock suspension? Wondering if its gonna rub if lowered
Do you still have this vehicle with the spacers in it and what issues did you have if any??
another great video and another mod I want to install. 2016 is going to be killa to my 2012
+MYute87 Thanks man!! :) I wanna see before and after pics!!
I am thinking of getting some spacers, but do not know what size to go for them. how did you measure to get the correct width of the spacer?
I measured from the outside of the tire, to the inside of the fender and that was the size of spacer I needed
You should consider ceramic brake pads to reduce 70% of brake dust
I only use asbestos pads.
I gotta admit, when I selected your video I saw your face and thought "dayum! What's this young kid gonna be able to tell me?" But, I was very pleasantly surprised. You covered it all from A-Z, mentioned some things I hadn't even thought about and didn't spend all your time stuttering and covering extraneous and non-relevant material. Thanks and kudos to you!
so u torqued the wheel spacer to 80ft lbs is that Honda spec or the spacer companies spec?
80 lb/ft is Honda's torque spec.
Just wondering, do you want to use threadlocker on the wheel spacer?
You don't need to. As long as it is torqued to the correct specification, you are okay :)
Put 2” spacers I got vibration on high speed any idea what can I do solve the problem?
How many mm should i go if i want to put bolt on adapters without cutting my oem studs??? 30mm will do??
how come you used different sized spacers for the front and back?
I'm sure you know by now but since no one ever answered your question the wheel wells are wider in the back so to make it flush he used bigger ones in the back. A lot of sports cars use wider tires in the back to keep it flush with the wheel wells
How have they held up so far?
Dude you totally just helped me with my 3000GT. I've never used spacers before and I was trying to put them on the wheel hub BEFORE the rotor haha. Im such a tard
Its all good Ken! Ensure you use your torque wrench twice, once to install the spacer to the hub, then the wheel to the spacer 👍
Is using a torch wrench a must when working on car projects like this?
+Brandon Alvarez A torque wrench is needed if you want to make sure your bolts are properly tightened. If you don't know how tight to tighten them, you should bring your car to someone who has one, because it can be very unsafe if your wheels are either too loose, or too tight.
Awesome video bud. Are these still on your car? If so, how are they doing? Any trouble? How are they on interstate? How often do you check them/re-torque them? Sorry for so many questions, I just want to be somewhat educated on spacers and caring for them before I go out and buy some for my ST.
My vehicle manufacturer lug nut torque specs is 90 ft/lbs, but my spacer highest recommended spec is 80 ft/lbs. Can I go higher than the spacer's highest specification?
Great video bud
Thanks buddy :)
Arandules
Is it possible to buy bigger hubs, which would have the same results but eliminate the need of a spacer?
GarageLine spacers are really good! Also better IMO because they are paint black.
Hey man, I just got my tires spacers install but the left back one make a weird noise. I was wondering if it’s normal for it to make that noise since I just got them installed.
Mine too
What ever happened with this problem? And what kind of car?
Me too wtf and I did them my self. I was like dam I fucked up but they are on tight it’s a click click click noise.
Love to see Canadians doing great vids even better to see your also located in Ontario! i'm in Ajax myself, Keep up the great work! Quick question, what kind of bulb do you use for DRL?? (6:09)
+Dev Thanks Dev!! They are LED bulbs that I picked up from amazon. They look great, but don't have the greatest light output.

thanks i picked up some LED's for my DRL but the light flickers, i didnt notice that with yours. Thanks for the reply :)
No problem Dev. no they don't flicker
hi, after installed the wheel spacer do i need wheel alignment?
Hey man great video
So I had spacers installed today and the car had a shimmy in the wheel in the highway at 40mph ... what do you think problem can be ?
Thanks
Dom
Are they hub centric spacers? and were they properly torqued?
it was helpful thanks
help me I'm about to fit 5x120 aluminium bmw wheels to my van that has 5x118 sizes I no I can fit wobble bolts that will be ok but the question I'm asking is can I fit wheel spacers aswell with the above many thanks
sick bro
