Wheel spacers are used in order to widen the vehicles track, fix clearance / offset issues, run larger tires, OR only for aesthetics. US Wheel Adapters stocks lug centric and hub centric wheel spacers for many different vehicles and applications. USWA also custom builds using all American machinery, materials, and hardware. Hub centric rings added to in stock hub centric spacers will work to pilot aftermarket wheels.
–Bolt On
We use wheel spacers to widen the stance on our cars, trucks, & SUVs. Spacers are also commonly used to fix backspacing & clearance issues. Unlike adapters, spacers will keep the same bolt pattern as the vehicle. Bolt on Spacers are available in two designs, hub centric and lug centric. Hub Centric wheel spacers pilot by the hub of the vehicle. This means they center on the hub of the vehicle while simulating the piloting lip on the face side. Lug Centric would mean they are centered only by the lug nuts. ‘Bolt-on’ style bolt to the hub of the vehicle using the factory studs and provided lug nuts. The wheel is then secured to the studs of the wheel spacer using the factory lug nuts already on hand.
–Slip On
‘Slip-on’ style spacers slide over the existing studs, so it is important to make sure that there will be enough thread left past the wheel spacer for secure installment of wheel. Otherwise, you will need extended wheel studs. These slip-ons can also be hub centric meaning they will pilot on the hub center and have a lip to pilot the wheels. Although the minimum thickness for slip on style hub centric spacers running factory wheels will be around 12mm (in most cases) in order to clear the existing hub lip or ‘flange’ found in the center of the hub. The minimum thickness is 5mm for vehicles using aftermarket wheels with a larger center bore. Also Available with no lip.
If you are trying to fit the wheel of one factory vehicle to the hub of a different vehicle, or are attempting to change the bolt pattern then you are looking for a Wheel Adapter. – Wheel Adapters are found here.
