What Are Wheel Spacers?
Wheel spacers are precision engineered metal discs that fit between your vehicle’s hub and alloy wheels. By increasing the distance between the vehicle hub and the alloy wheel, they push the wheels outwards for a wider track and fill out any gaps in the wheel arches. Wheel spacers are a popular, cost-effective upgrade that enhance both the appearance and performance of your vehicle.
Are Wheel Spacers Safe?
Yes, when installed correctly they are completely safe and road legal.

With proper installation, wheel spacers are a safe and reliable way to improve your car’s stance and handling.
Hubcentric Wheel Spacers
These are the standard type of spacer and the most commonly used, they use extended bolts which go through the wheel and the holes in the spacer to attach directly to the vehicle hub.
Bolt-On Wheel Spacers
Bolt-on Spacers are similar to standard hubcentric spacers, however instead of using extended wheel bolts to attach the Bolt-on spacers, you would use short bolts to secure these to the vehicle hub and you would then use your existing manufacturer bolts to secure the alloy wheels to the spacer.
Studded Wheel Spacers
Spacers with studs are usually required when a vehicle use's wheel nuts instead of wheel bolts. As the vehicle hub already has studs fitted you would require a spacer that has enough thickness to clear them and have embedded studs for your original Manufacturer wheel nuts to attach too. This is usually the case with makes such as Ford, Jaguar & Land Rover.
