DON'T RUN SPACERS...Before Watching This

Are spacers worth it?

[@mmix224]

Spacers seem like a great way to blow out wheel bearings more frequently. Something about moving the load further away from the bearing seems like it would add significant additional stress to the bearing. Now I'm not a mechanic or an engineer, but I play one on YT

Same thing applies to greater negative offset wheels. Negative offset and wheel spacers are definitely gonna wear out parts faster. There's a price to pay for that stanced look, but if you're like me I think it's worth it for that look.

What they don't tell you about these wheel spacers: it's much harder on the bearing. Sources: SKF and timken.

[@mitchellbrown7022]

I have over 100k on hub centric spacers. Both my 4runners that run them have 225k+ on them with factory bearings. It may speed up wear a little but I'd be more concerned about the heavy wheeling ive done on both of them. They are also Japanese so American trucks probably fail sooner, but I'd suspect that would be the case regardless of spacers.

If anyone has ever watched the older whistlindiesel videos you'll know these things don't break as long as they are made from quality material and are hub centric. I run 1.5" adapters on my Ranger just to fit the TRD Pro rims and they've worked great on and off road. Haven't backed out or loosened on me. Before that I had 2" spacers on my other truck and those loosened up after about a year, but you're supposed to check them sooner then that anyway, so that was my bad. Luckily no harm was done. But these guys are just a middle man for Motorsports Tech that actually makes the spacers, you can order directly from them which I did the second time around after these guys dropped shipped it to me direct from manufacturer and charged me $30 extra for their trouble.

Spacers aren't bad. Make sure you use a hub centric spacer, make sure you torque the spacer on just as you would a wheel, make sure the studs of the vehicle don't stick out so far that the wheel won't seat properly, and you'll be ok. Maybe someone could do a video about the difference between a hub centric spacer and a.... whatever cheap spacer. Hub centric is very important on a truck especially if you intend to use it as a truck.

Adding those automatically puts negligence in your corner. Wheelbase is "engineered". If you want to underduty your truck , throw em on. Get weaker rims and stretch those c-/d-rated tires. There's a reason tires/rims have load/speed ratings. If you want convert to 19.5's
