milanmastracci, I just finished watching an older video on cleaning rubber floor mats. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS ... How to clean mold off of rubber floor mats permanently. Can you create a video on this? Thank you.
This was super clear and useful without a lot of nonsense or fluff. Thank you very much for sharing. I believe I can now make informed decisions on how to proceed with my big brake, suspension and wheel upgrades.
Thanks for the great info! I recently bought a car and the owner had put 4x4.0” wheels on a car that is 4x100. At high speeds it would shake badly. I just ordered new wheels and an adapter. It’s difficult to find 12” 4x100 wheels!
What a wonderful video, no lies, nothing but great and accurate information. None of this "This is your Boy" BS, No stupid music that last and last, no of this was brought by this company and that company. I hope you get all the view you deserve! Triple
interesting analysis on slip on and bolt on spacers. You actually made me hit pause on my decisions as I now have to revisit and reevaluate which of the two is most efficient option for my F150 STX. Spacers seem to be the easier and cheaper option than offset rims for an older model truck. Not really feeling put $3K work of rims and tires on 12 year old truck
My wheels fix in with bolts. When I mount bolt on spaces the bolt head slightly interferes with the wheel mounting pad on aftermarket wheels. Stock wheel sit flush on it cause they have plenty of space in between the mounting pad pattern. Lucky the aftermarket wheels didn't need the spacer as much as the stock ones did.
Just put 1.5 inch wheel spacers on my Nissan frontier and they rub the inner fender when turning sharp with only stock wheels and tires. Now I have to fix that.
I am a welder by trade. An aluminum chunk on the back of a hot peice of steel, [aka brake router and spacer] will absorb the heat from the steel and spread it across the aluminum. It makes a great heat sink on stainless steel to prevent overheating the material. That groove would increase airflow and add cooling. It makes total sense to me. I would say at the center of the rotor, though, it would have less of and effect because with steel, heat tends to concentrate in the area heated. So that is also something to consider....
Good video. However, a couple of points. The PCD isn't the outside diameter of the studs, it runs through the centre of the studs. You say both :-) Not sure how having a groove on the mating surface improves grip by reducing the contact area. An explanation would be helpful.
Excellent video, thanks. Just another point to remember is to use the same design of the OEM bolt head when fitting the aftermarket extended bolts, ie don’t mix radius with tapered.
Adding spacers can accelerate your wheel bearing wear, so keep that in mind. By increasing the offset of the wheel, you place more stress on the axle's studs, and in a front axle application on the unit bearings (or spindles) and ball joints of the axle. You also increase the tire scrub radius, changing the way the vehicle handles and increasing the difficulty of slow-speed turning.
Quick question here: Is it a problem if the total surface diameter of the spacer is smaller than the central diameter of the hub and wheel, even though the other characteristics match perfectly?
First off want to say what a great informative video that cleared up my confusion on adapters vs spacers .Personally I only need a 12 mm(1/2”) spacer to clear my new calipers .. my question is concerning my ride quality and handling going forward… with a updated wheel alignment would I see changes / issues with cornering and handling performance … thanks
Great video. I lowered my 2019 Mazda3 and decided to go with the slip on spacers and extended studs for simplicity and safety. Yes installing extended studs cost me an hour and a half of my life that I’ll never get back, but something about bolt on spacers always freak me out.
@@charlieboy3321 They were perfect for 3 years. Definitely worth the extra effort of replacing the studs. And honestly the studs are very simple to replace (you might have to remove the rear wheel hubs in order to get the clearance to install the extended studs though). I only did 12mm (.5 in) spacers and an inch drop in ride height all around so it looked clean and not too over the top. I would 100% do it. Quick tidbit, I sold the Mazda and bought a 2014 BMW 328d Sports Wagon (yay) but before I sold the Mazda I brought everything back to stock and it converts right back with no issues. If your car requires you to remove the rear hub to install the extended studs, don’t forget to use anti-seize on the hub bolts when you reinstall them. I had quite the battle taking those bolts out after 3 years 😂
I’m thinking of ordering a set of 5mm hubcentric spacers, but it doesn’t have a lip to complement the larger bore of an aftermarket wheel. Would you suggest using the spacer and adding on hubcentric rings as well?
Have you ever heard of a mechanic putting loctite on your lug nuts? If you torque them to spec, there is no need what so ever. I've been using slip-on and bolt-on spacers for years with ZERO failures.
Why do they come in pairs of two? I have a mini cooper and decided I want 15mm spacers but do I have to get them in different sizes for front and back?
I shoupd have watched this before I putchased my wheel spacers from Premier Auto Acc/ebay. The are 25mm hub centric 6061 T6 aluminum, but now am nervous to put them on.
I got an mx5 Nd. I 'd like ti mount spacers like the blackones. The question is: they should be all the same measures? I would like 15mm for the front and 20mm for the rear. Helppp
I just need something to put space between the brakes on my Challenger to be able to use a steel wheel Spare wheel I put together. The car has 20" mags...I made up a spare the same ride height from a 17" rim and a 245 / 65/ 17 tire but- when I put it on it rubs something...Can I use a slip on spacer? Glad I saw this video cause I almost bought the one with studs...I don't need it.
Would u have to do an alignment after installing spacers? I've heard it wears the tires faster, and puts extra load on the suspension and makes the car hard to steer? Thoughts
You don't need to do an alignment afterwards. It doesn't put more wear on the tires, it does slightly put more load on the suspension, and over so slightly does cause the steering to be a bit harder, however it would be no different than putting aftermarket wheels and tires on the car. I wouldn't worry in the slightest given what I mentioned. I would buy spacers again 👍
Great tutorial! Usually, after you torque the wheels you are required to re-torque them after driving them for 15-25 miles. Is there a need to re-torque the bolt-on spacers the same way? If so, that would entail removing the wheel and then having to re-torque the wheel after the spacer re-torque.
What about the added stress on Bearing components? The larger the offset not compensated for in the original design the more stress you will put on your bearings, if you now go and put bigger wheels on or add weight to the rotating mass it would be even worse??
The difference in running a spacer, will be like the difference between carrying an extra person in your car or not. It will theoretically create more stress, but it isn't harmful enough to cause excessive wear.
Hey, so I installed new coilovers and now I need wheel spacers. After measuring it looks like I could go with 20mm spacers. But I think going with 10 or 12.5 mm spacers (or very max 15 mm) is the safer option, because I don't want my wheels to rub on the body. Do you think it will still make the car look better or should I really go with 20mm?
I believe youre talented, your good reasoning and rationales. One thing about your “cheap spacers.” Just because one is less expensive and cheaper, it does not mean it sucks. There are cheap alloy spacers that undergone T-6 Treatment.......makes them stronger.
Yeah, the ones on Bonoss's website are listed at $100-300 dollars for just two of them. I have a Saturn SL2 DOHC, with lots of modification that has H&R sort springs , GYB GR2 struts and a polyurethane master bushing kit including both dogbone engine mounts and i'm wanting to push my rear wheels out at least an inch so the rear wheels are flush with the fenders like the front ones are. I have the stock sawbade wheels and plan to keep them and get them powder coated back to the new aluminum alloy finish like it was from the factory to cosmetically make the car look better, without spending thousands one wheels and tires. I eventually want to get Enkei RPF1 15X7's though to lose about 4 Lbs of rotating mass or unsprung weight down the road and do the Subaru WRX racetech coilover mod that several people have done with the Saturn because the aftermarket industry never supported these cars and were Saturn racist, even though they were a rocketship at 2290 LBS (mine with the Seibon carbon fiber hood and no spare tire, don't ask, I lost it somehow...lol).
Great video!! Very informative! Clarification so I understand correctly.. so if I just need 8mm spacers I would need extended studs? I’ve seen other videos where they just slip-on the spacers less than 10mm.
All comes down to how many threads you have with the stock studs. Once the stud is broken loose, count the number of turns and multiply the pitch ((1.25 or 1.5). Then minus the 8 mm and see if you have enough threads left
Dude - I really enjoy the videos you make. They are very well filmed and also extremely informative. Keep doing them please! My question to you when you get around to it ... debunk the WD40 headlight fix miracle I am seeing all over youtube. Does WD40 clear out yellowed headlights?
Hi. My wheel spacers didn't cause a wobble @ 50 mph when I had my OE wheels. With my new A/M wheels ÷ same spacers I've got wobble. Would hub rings on top of the spacers then the wheel relieve the wobble?
Awesome video , how do you feel about retorquing the spacer because everytime I get tires put on at a dealership they always recommend coming in for retouque
if i want to run a 13mm slip on style spacer do i have to change my bolts? will my stock hub bolts be long enough to use? really don't want to mess around with my stock parts if i don't need to.
Can I rely solely on Bonoss giving me the correct parts for the job? Like: I preferred 15mm front and 25mm rear from Bonoss for a Genesis GV70. They all are bolt on and is it ok to use a dab of never seize on the hub? And use blue loctite on the bolts of the spacer after it’s TQ to 84ft lbs? Then put the wheel in and TQ to the manuals spec? Or skip the loctite and drive it for 100miles and take the wheels off and check TQ of the spacers since it a new mating ? Someone mentioned to buy new rim lug nuts as it’ll look ugly now but not sure why if using stock hardware?
Great video! This is information. I ha e a question. I saw that they had 2 different model numbers for the g37 coupes. BONOSS Forged AL7075-T6 Active Cooling 5×114.3 Hubcentric Wheel Spacers for Infiniti G37, BONOSS Forged AL6061-T6 Active Cooling Hubcentric 5×114.3 Wheel Spacers for Infiniti G37 I'm trying to figure out which one to get. Thank you.
I have a 1985 z31 Turbo that came with 15" wheels using 215/60R15 tires .... I'm upgrading to 17 x 7.5 wheels in order to get good tires .... 225/45R17. (No one makes good 15" tires anymore.) The new wheels have a +35 offset, so all I need is about 5mm of spacer to keep the wheels from hitting the suspension. I can't seem to find anything specific for my car at Bonoss that's less than 15mm thick. The wheel bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 and the stock wheels were 15 x 6.5 with +30 offset. What might you suggest?
Recently bought a 2002 mk4 that had 20 mm spacers on the rear and 12 mm in front. All these spacers have 10 holes but only 5 are used. I do not know anything about spacers but these look exactly like the bolt on you show here. But! Mine are not bolted on but used as spacers using only the lug bolts to hold the rim. ..question; is this safe? And , would it cause a vibration? I have vibration at 40 mph.. What should I do? Buy the spacers that do not bolt on to the bearing hub? Thanks..
i have a 2008 bmw and just bough hub centric slip ons, i bout extended lug nuts as well instead of the stock ones, since it is a bmw i don’t need to get extended studs right? Because it doesn’t have studs that stuck out of the wheel holder thing
Great stuff man!!! Best explanation by far! What would you recommend for an 04 GX 470. Not lifted, No off roading. Just going for an more aggressive stance with a wider foot print. Thanks
I have them on my challenger and I have had wheel spacers on many many vehicles and they don’t really hurt anything if they aren’t more than 1.5 inches maybe 2 at the most
When I was looking for the exact same spacer you installed on your Civic on your video, the Bonoss website did not bring up any spacer for 2012 Civic Si. Which exact one did you install? Can you share the link? Also in the video you installed the 20mm while in the description FAQ section you mentioned you installed the 15mm. Was the 20mm too wide and was rubbing? Thank you!
Hi i have a new Kia 2024 Kia Sportage SX Prestige Sport Utility 4-Door 2.5L 2497CC l4 GAS DOHC how much Torque do i use i Got the AOOA brake covers so they think i need Wheel Spacers so i'm going with the good ones off of amazon that are 20mm thanks nice page Dennis
Love the video only thing confusing me is the twork concept? How many turns you have to do on each nuds.. Also you have to trim the studs on the bolt on spacer to the exact length of the studs on the car?
I have two German cars, my wife's is a 2001 2ltr W203 and I have used the same process and brand, except that they are wheel lugs. For this one I would like to know if I can fit an adapter type spacer from the Mercedes fitment to bring it out to 114.3 bolt pattern? I have heard of the 120pcd to 114.3pcd and also the other way around but with lug bolts I am not sure? The other car is a BMW X5 and to be honest I am not in love with lug bolts at all, it runs staggered wheels 10" rears and 9" fronts and I would really like to make them fill out the wheel well just that bit nicer. It is a 2006 E53d, standard BMW rims and the only other thing I might consider is to fit 10" on the front and then fill them out or just change to wheel studs. What is your thoughts on this? Thank you for a very excellent lesson on wheel spacers. Well done!
What about a wheel spacer with a reduced center hub..? I have a sweet set of VW wheels that are too small for my Mercedes. Same bolt pattern (5x112), but smaller center bore. My Benz is 66.6mm, I believe, and the VW’s are 57mm..
What you said may be true for vehicles from Japan and Asia but cars from Europe are different VW/Audi for instance he wheel hub might have a chamfer at the base of the hub and the corresponding spacer must have a chamfer on it's mating surface so the spacer sits flush sometimes this poses a problem because those type of spacers have a chamfer on the wheel side too and IF your aftermarket wheels don't have a deep enough chamfer the wheel won't sit flush to the spacer...research this before going out and buying any spacer, most "tuner shops" will not take back spacers if they've just been "test fitted". Another thing the smaller (thinner) slip on spacers are not hub AND wheel centric they are only hub centric so if you use those use proper torquing procedures there comes a point of no return IMO when using the thin ones is it worth it?
My cars has been tracked for 5+ years with bolt on billet aluminum spacers with 0 issues lol. Of course you're preaching what people should do with 0 track experience.
The thicker the spacers, the more wear your wheel bearings will have. Yes, you can get away with it for awhile, but that growling noise will tell you that the bearings need to be changed.
Any way you can help me figure out what I’d need for my Audi? I have a 2015 Audi Q7 with 20in factory rims on it now that are pretty beat up, so I ended up buying a gently used set of 20in Audi factory rims from a 2015 A7. The bolt pattern is different. The Q7 spec is 130 and the A7 spec is 112, what do I do in this instance? Thanks hope to here from you.

Really digging your content and realizing your from Ontario makes it even better.. good shit bro! Keep it up!
Good video. However, a couple of points. The PCD isn't the outside diameter of the studs, it runs through the centre of the studs. You say both :-) Not sure how having a groove on the mating surface improves grip by reducing the contact area. An explanation would be helpful.
Adding a 1/2 spacer, with out the hub centric is ok? In the old days, most wheels were loose until you tightened the lug bolts carefully.
are you also considering the disk size on three-piece work wheels for example when trying to find out the size of extended studs?
Excellent video, thanks. Just another point to remember is to use the same design of the OEM bolt head when fitting the aftermarket extended bolts, ie don’t mix radius with tapered.
Adding spacers can accelerate your wheel bearing wear, so keep that in mind.

Recently bought a 2002 mk4 that had 20 mm spacers on the rear and 12 mm in front. All these spacers have 10 holes but only 5 are used. I do not know anything about spacers but these look exactly like the bolt on you show here. But! Mine are not bolted on but used as spacers using only the lug bolts to hold the rim. ..question; is this safe? And , would it cause a vibration? I have vibration at 40 mph..
What should I do? Buy the spacers that do not bolt on to the bearing hub?
Thanks..
What spacer should i buy in my kia optima 2011 to use a bmw rims.
i have a 2008 bmw and just bough hub centric slip ons, i bout extended lug nuts as well instead of the stock ones, since it is a bmw i don’t need to get extended studs right? Because it doesn’t have studs that stuck out of the wheel holder thing
Maybe I missed it but what if the hub bore is bigger than the wheel hub? Hub bore at 67.1 with a wheel hub at 64.1.
Great stuff man!!! Best explanation by far! What would you recommend for an 04 GX 470. Not lifted, No off roading. Just going for an more aggressive stance with a wider foot print. Thanks
My bolt on wheel studs are to long, I am not running open ended lug nuts. Can I cut them? And if so how do I figure out how long to cut them?
I have wheels that doesn’t fit my Ford F100.
Can I get spacers to make it work?
My Ford is 5 1/2”
The wheels are 5”
Can I combine a slip-on spacer with a hubcentric ring though? (for a wheel that has a 75mm bore vs my hubs 66.6mm bore)
I have them on my challenger and I have had wheel spacers on many many vehicles and they don’t really hurt anything if they aren’t more than 1.5 inches maybe 2 at the most
What spacers did you use and size for this setup? I am going to put 05/06 Rsx wheels on my 9th gen. Thank you in advance.

i have a 2011 honda accord, what spacers would you advice to put just for a right stance like your civic.🙂
Is it possible to use 4 lug adapter to go to a five lug aftermarket wheel for a 2000 honda accord
When I was looking for the exact same spacer you installed on your Civic on your video, the Bonoss website did not bring up any spacer for 2012 Civic Si. Which exact one did you install? Can you share the link? Also in the video you installed the 20mm while in the description FAQ section you mentioned you installed the 15mm. Was the 20mm too wide and was rubbing? Thank you!
I would like to purchase some wheel spacers from my 2018 jaguar.F type base says 18th.Where can I purchase a map
im converting a 74.1mm to 72.6mm 10mm spacer from Bonoss. Would it be safe to have a 10mm spacer or would that be too thin?
Hi i have a new Kia 2024 Kia Sportage SX Prestige Sport Utility 4-Door 2.5L 2497CC l4 GAS DOHC how much Torque do i use i Got the AOOA brake covers so they think i need Wheel Spacers so i'm going with the good ones off of amazon that are 20mm thanks nice page Dennis
How did these hold up. Looking at this exact set
any idea whats the best wheel spacer for 24 ram 1500?
Hi.
I am going to install IMS suspension with 2" lift and 30mm spacers.
My tire size is 265/65/R17
I hope this is sufficient to prevent any rollovers.
Won't changing the offset affect ABS brakes?
Great presentation. Research scrub radius and the effect of too much offset on scrub and wheel bearings.
Love the video only thing confusing me is the twork concept? How many turns you have to do on each nuds..
Also you have to trim the studs on the bolt on spacer to the exact length of the studs on the car?
If I use slip on spacers for my 2012 TL fwd does I need new stud s. To installed them let me know
I would like to buy one for my Mini Cooper s R56 2012 . Which one do you recommend for me . I like your Mini Cooper setup.. thanks good info
I have two German cars, my wife's is a 2001 2ltr W203 and I have used the same process and brand, except that they are wheel lugs. For this one I would like to know if I can fit an adapter type spacer from the Mercedes fitment to bring it out to 114.3 bolt pattern? I have heard of the 120pcd to 114.3pcd and also the other way around but with lug bolts I am not sure?
The other car is a BMW X5 and to be honest I am not in love with lug bolts at all, it runs staggered wheels 10" rears and 9" fronts and I would really like to make them fill out the wheel well just that bit nicer. It is a 2006 E53d, standard BMW rims and the only other thing I might consider is to fit 10" on the front and then fill them out or just change to wheel studs. What is your thoughts on this?
Thank you for a very excellent lesson on wheel spacers. Well done!
What about a wheel spacer with a reduced center hub..? I have a sweet set of VW wheels that are too small for my Mercedes. Same bolt pattern (5x112), but smaller center bore. My Benz is 66.6mm, I believe, and the VW’s are 57mm..

Para ordenar un set de un Bronco SPORT 2022 1" que tengo que hacer?
delivered as promised! I wanted to know and you provided, thanks. I have an RX350 Lexus that I am looking for spacers specifically for the rear
What you said may be true for vehicles from Japan and Asia but cars from Europe are different VW/Audi for instance he wheel hub might have a chamfer at the base of the hub and the corresponding spacer must have a chamfer on it's mating surface so the spacer sits flush sometimes this poses a problem because those type of spacers have a chamfer on the wheel side too and IF your aftermarket wheels don't have a deep enough chamfer the wheel won't sit flush to the spacer...research this before going out and buying any spacer, most "tuner shops" will not take back spacers if they've just been "test fitted". Another thing the smaller (thinner) slip on spacers are not hub AND wheel centric they are only hub centric so if you use those use proper torquing procedures there comes a point of no return IMO when using the thin ones is it worth it?
Excellent and informative video 👍. What brand are the spacers?
My cars has been tracked for 5+ years with bolt on billet aluminum spacers with 0 issues lol. Of course you're preaching what people should do with 0 track experience.
The thicker the spacers, the more wear your wheel bearings will have. Yes, you can get away with it for awhile, but that growling noise will tell you that the bearings need to be changed.
Any way you can help me figure out what I’d need for my Audi? I have a 2015 Audi Q7 with 20in factory rims on it now that are pretty beat up, so I ended up buying a gently used set of 20in Audi factory rims from a 2015 A7. The bolt pattern is different. The Q7 spec is 130 and the A7 spec is 112, what do I do in this instance?
Thanks hope to here from you.
Are spacers ok for travel, been wanting some for my D.D. but do 150+ miles a day. To work and home
Yes they are! The installation is the most important part of it to ensure their safety. I'd driven over 150k kilometres with spacers on my Accord
I loved your last video about putting wheel spacers on your Nissan! Now I can learn even more! Keep up the fantastic vids!!👍
Happy to hear that Ziggy!! Thank you 🙌
