Forged Wheel Spacer VS Casting Wheel Spacer
Our Wheel Spacer Made from High-Strength Aircraft Aluminum Alloy (7075-T6 or 6061-T6), Lightweight,Forged Hard Anodized for durability and corrosion protection insist on using the forged material, insist on the conception of putting safety in the first place and reject to use the casting material.
The Casting Wheel Spacer material made wheel spacers performance is terrible,it will snapped off and pose a very serious threat to the driving safety.
Heat Treatment Stud/Bolts VS Normal Stud/Bolts
Our Wheel bolts/studs lug nuts used Heat-Treatment working processes to improve their performance to make sure the safety during long-term use.Limited Life Range is very important for Long life drive. Normally, The 12.9 Grade Wheel Bolts/Studs Only test the Tensile, Proof Load, Hardness. they are for Strength but NOT for Toughness,but in our view, the Toughness is as important as Strength. So, our Bolts/Studs passed Grade 1 MILLION Times Fatigue Strength Test, For Safe,For long life Safe.
The ordinary stud/Bolt has not the flexibility and anti-fatigue performance is terrible, easily being snapped off after long-term use.

BLA Series Installation Tips
1.Remove wheel bolts and wheel.
2.Place BLOXsport Spacer on hub of car (where the wheel was attached) making sure that the spacer is fully
seated and flush with the hub.
3.Fasten BLA spacer to car using supplied special bolts. Carefully hand turn bolts making sure that they spin in
easily so as to not cross-thread. Repeat with the remaining bolts.
4.With hand wrench, snug up the bolts in a star.
5.Tighten bolts in a star pattern using torque wrench set to manufacturers specification.
6.Make sure no bolt heads protrude past spacer.
7.Place wheel onto the spacer and carefully line up the wheel / spacer bolt holes and mounting hole.
8.Carefully hand turn bolts making sure that they spin in easily so as to not cross-thread.
9.Repeat step 8 with the remaining bolts.
10.With hand wrench, snug up the bolts in a star pattern.
11.Before fully tightening, spin the wheel and tire to check for any noise or interference.
12.Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern with a torque wrench set to wheel manufacturers specifications.
The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio (Tipo M145) are a series of a grand tourers produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati from 2007 to 2019. They succeeded the 2-door V8 grand tourers offered by the company, the Maserati Coupé and Spyder. The model was initially equipped with a 4.2-litre (4,244 cc (259.0 cu in)) V8 engine developed in conjunction with Ferrari. The GranTurismo platform was derived from Maserati M139 platform of Maserati Quattroporte V, with double-wishbone front and rear suspension. The grand tourer emphasizes comfort in harmony with speed and driver-enjoyment.
The GranTurismo set a record for the most quickly developed car in the auto industry, going from design to production stage in just nine months. The reason being that Ferrari, after selling off Maserati to the Fiat Chrysler Group, took the designs of the proposed replacement of the Maserati Coupé and after some modifications, launched it as the Ferrari California.[2]
A total of 28,805 GranTurismos and 11,715 units of the convertible were produced.[4] The final production example of the GranTurismo, called Zéda, was presented painted in a gradient of blue, black and white colours.[1] The Accidental UA-camr: How I Make A Six-Figure Income On UA-cam: geni.us/UZ2bnyd - Навчання та стиль
Just a word of advice. Use some anti seize on those spacers to avoid galvanic corrosion. If not you’ll have a hell of a time getting them off without damaging them
Definitely looks so much better 👍🏻
Hello Peter, Thanks for the video. You are inspiring me to make the change on my vehicle. I am wondering how they are holding up after a year. Have there been any issues with the spacers themselves or tire wear pattern?
What was the recommended lug nut torque on the spacers? They came out great!!!
I did 30mm in front and the rear but I have custom 22inch rims
I thought I bought the same Blox that say they fit Maserati but they do not fit my GTurismo! 25mm 30mm rear. Mine say BLM series not BLA like yours!
These look like quality spacers. What’s your opinion on it?
Peter if you had to do this again what size would you go for...I having mine custom made so can choose any sizes...obviously just worried about clearance
Interesting question, Luke. I would stick with the front sizes since they don't rub or cause any problems. I'd be tempted to go 5mm more on the rears though just to really fill out the wheel well.
Also do the front rubb when u turn with the 25mm up front need to know I just bought from the website 🤺✌
No rubbing for me
They do make the wheels look wider. Did those spacers change the handling characteristic of the car? Can you even tell?
No discernible change. I probably don’t drive aggressively enough to test it.
Hey just checking in but did your wheels fall off yet.
Maybe wider tires next time specially in the back
Nice video had a question why is ur 2013-2017 model has the older style headlights?
You have a really good eye. Mine is a 2011 with a 2013 front bumper.
@@petervonpanda Oh wow nice fitment great color, btw I used to sale maseratis and owns a 2010gt XD
Hey, just wondering if after a year, the spacers are still holding up? How is the long term quality?
Yes
Did you swap the Gransport for a Granturismo? How do they compare?
I did. They are more different than I expected. I loved the raw, Ferrari like interior of the Gransport, and I think it sounded slightly better, more aggressive too. And the transmission takes some getting used to. The GT is more like any automatic transmission car with a big engine. The sound is great, but you don't get the overrun on downshifts like the Gransport. I think I like the sleekness of the GT design and the creature comforts more, but the Gransport was more "sports" car. The GT kind of reminds me of a more aggressive Mercedes SL.
Looks way better! I've just ordered a set of black Blox Sport spacers for my 2010 Jaguar XK, 15mm front 20mm rear. Similar tyre V arch issue as your Masser but not quite as pronounced. I'm wondering how you have got on with these, any handling issues, heavier steering, wear and tear on suspension, tyres etc?
Good question. A better driver than me might be able to sense the tiny details. I was trying to see if I could feel it more planted or stable, or more understeer, but I couldn't tell any differences at all. Seemed to drive exactly the same, which was nice!
@@petervonpanda sounds like a great result to me! Mine are on there way, I got it the wrong way round though, it's 20mm front, 15mm rear. That seems to be the perfect combo for my XK according to multiple sources. I can't wait to fit them now!
Isn’t there any side effects of the spacers?
New paint 🎨 job ? 🐼
Hi,Peter. Did you get 30mm all around? I see 4set of 30mm and 4 set of 25mm on amazon.
You can try on eBay, 100% sure you’ll find (sets of 2) there😊
@@Rajveersingh-ct4er not sure which size to get, 25mm on front and 30mm rear?
So did I predict my future with my comment, or did I remind you about some spacers haha
You saw the future!!
Peter von Panda it looks great man!!
Pimp my ride can be a rewarding investment. Peace
What?
Thanks brother you answered my questions about my g.t mc 2012 ✌🤺mosswingchun.com.
