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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Although wheel spacers tend to get stuck after long periods of use, please don't use a large amount of anti-seize.. you don't actually want your wheel spacers vibrating around because of a lubricant
You should also mention to wear a respirator when using the compressed air hose, since some brake systems may contain asbestos. Just an extra safety tip, also good vid. :)
Nope. All should stay the same. The springs are going to react the same way, and your car is going to ride pretty close to how it was, the only difference is that because you have a wider track, when you turn, you will get a bit more grip :)
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
Hey man, how are the spacers holding up after 4 years lol... I have my daily accord same as yours and I also live in Canada with all the salt... Any problems with the spacers? Looking to buy some also
you should be good brother. Here from NY and we got rusted cars & all cause of that salt/snow mix lol. But for my friends and I, especially those who daily it never had an issue. So you should definitely be good. Enjoy your new spacers and get that stance you want🤟
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.
After 5 hrs of prying, kicking, and swearing to separate the spacer off the hub. I will ALWAYS apply antiseize. I rotated my tires about a yr ago and live in Colorado. It was absolute hell and was unsure it would come off..
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?
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!
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.
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!
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
@@crush9197 .. after you put the Loctite on and let them sit for like 24 hours you shouldn't have to re-torque them.. after you apply the blue Loctite that's when you torque them at 90+.or tighter... remember when done right better-safe-than-sorry
Dude. where did you get the spacers from, and how much were they? I've been thinking of getting some to widen the wheelbase, and eliminate that gap in the rear, that the accords have.
+milanmastracci It is pretty bad. at times it looks like the car was cheaply designed underneath. Plus, it leaves no room for bigger brakes...Alright sweet. I'll order mine soon.
Ain't that the truth!! My car was flush with my summer wheels and when I switched back to my OEM's for winter, the look was killing me. I had to change it lol
+milanmastracci Oh I bet. when I switched from my summer tires, to my winter ones, the look of the wheels just kills me. but seeing yours with spacers, just confirmed that I need them on my car too. plus I also heard that they're a benefit in the snow, since the wider wheelbase helps the car dig through snow better.
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
@@milanmastracci thank you for the reply..I dont know if you remember but i commented a while ago about buying your car on a different video, but I realized you are all the way in canada and so instead I just bought my own 2011 black accord coupe with 96K miles. For some reason I just love the look of those cars and I can't wait to get started modding it. Tint is already done and spacers are next.
instead of having someone press the brakes to torque the spacer down use a jack stand with a rag on top sand rest one of the studs on it so that's it didn't turn while torqing them down. the rag is so the threads on the students don't get messed up. this is what I have done on my car for them and it works great. I also have to do this when changing my brake rotors as I have screws that hold them in place.
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
Sure did!! After about 100 miles of driving, you should remove the wheel, re-torque the spacer to the hub, and then re-install the wheel onto the spacer. I'm yet to run into any problems with this setup 😊
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?
not sure about the handling being better when the car and wheels were designed to be what they are, but by using spacers you also have the issue of wheel rub, which can result in tires exploding.
+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.
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.
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..
@@davec431 i dont have the car anymore bro but they held up great never had issues and even changed wheels a couple times. Make sure u use thread lock medium strength everytime and gently clean threads and everything is seated properly and will ride and function like normal wheels

how often do you have to re torque them and how big were the spacers?
@@jaredharrell5751 re torque every 5000 miles
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

Dude, your blinker fluid is so low..

What the hell is a blinker that needs fluid?
Erblin Kurtishi just had to buy new piston return springs.. damn shame
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.
This was a really well done video. I was expecting you to babble on for 20 minutes like most diy UA-camrs. Thanks!

Wrong. I worked with Chrysler engineers. They always said torque and anti seize everything.

Their tires..... the tires on that persons car.
Rotate there tires..... the place where the tires where rotated.

Put 2” spacers I got vibration on high speed any idea what can I do solve the problem?

Some body told me to tourque is after 80miles. Do i realy need to tourque again after that 80 miles?
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.
those accords are good cars but watch out for the exhaust bearings they like to act up
would some grease work for the corrosion prevention?
No. Grease works for areas that are constantly moving and active, not for areas that are stationary.
