HOW TO INSTALL WHEEL SPACERS ON A 2009 KIA SPORTAGE

[@Str8sixfan]

If you have to wear ear warmers on October 25th...boooo! Although I guess we had one of those days too in October. That's cool that a community like Calais accepts your currency and let's you get a P.O. Box. I'm glad our government(s) haven't abolished some simple things like this. For some reason, I was kind of hoping the truck was going to stay matte but it turned out pretty good. Maybe you could cleverly come up with a partial vinyl wrap to promo your business instead of painting, but...I see you went ahead and painted. Always go with the bigger tires ;) Hopefully the steel wheels offset/backspacing doesn't negate some of the work you just did with the spacers! Who doesn't heart bubbles?

Neat fact about Calais and St. Stephen, During the war of 1812, Saint Stephen gave a barrel of gun powder to Calais so they could have fireworks for the Fourth of July.... Hows that for community Spirit!

@@OldeCarrGuy that's sooo awesome

[@Souleye15]

As a owner of a kia sportage 2009. That actually improves the looks on the car a ton I actually like it. Keep the tires you got.

[@SteveLShannon]

Defiantly go with the bigger tires. Bubbles looks great. Shop truck looks great too.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks man. Wheels just showed up for Bubs.

[@pnworvandmore]

I will tag you in my video description you have alot of useful Info

[@DrivenbyGears]

that calls for a burn out in the old wheels haha

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Do we ever really need an excuse to burn tires......

Hey man, love the videos. Was wondering what brand spacers you went with? And what they cost and how they did? I have a 07 Kia Sportage Lx and I’m trying to fit a bigger tire but I couldn’t find 16in offset rims and a very small selection of wheel spacers for 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Trying to stay with a solid daily driver but come up a little. I did the 40mm body lift and it looks good. Thanks

[@austindunn2969]

And are the spacers hub eccentric?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks Austin. Here is the link to the ones I purchased. If you don’t already, follow me on Facebook and or IG so I can see pics of yours! rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332516336212

Looks Great...what size were those tyres you had on those original Kia rims? ( the tyres in this video)

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I believe they were 215/60R16! Quite a difference Eh? Thanks for watching.

[@Tony-ow3if]

@@OldeCarrGuy Looks great man. What's really amazing..of all the KIA 2009 variants out there ( body panels, mud guards, rims etc), yours is the only one that is identical to mine..in 🇩🇪 My wheel spacers have been ordered...Thanks again Tony

[@akfgocer3956]

Hello man, I have a 2008 sportage too. I want to install spacers. I've only seen it applied in you. Great. So are you satisfied now? Greetings from Istanbul.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Unfortunately this vehicle met it's demise a couple years ago, but i absolutely loved it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPSiaisgJ2ijqM

[@antonioraizola7814]

What size spacer man im trying to put bigger tires on my 09 sportage with 4wd i have 235 60 16 right now an going up to 235 75 16 hopefully with your vid thanks man

[@OldeCarrGuy]

1.5” spacers will help keep the tires from rubbing the struts! I have a whole playlist on project Bubbles! Be sure to check it out and thanks for watching!

[@Tony-ow3if]

How did those 235 75 r16 tyres work out

[@shanescarlife]

Jason, firstly, a quarter pounder meal here is around $8 or so. Secondly, and I hope this prediction comes true, you're gonna get addicted to modding Bubbles. Next thing you know, you'll be rebuilding the bottom end so you can bolt on a Paxton supercharger! LoL. Cheers, my friend!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Haha. $8... Wow. Can't wait until we get our new McDonald's next year.... I don't know about a supercharger, but I do see breaking an axle or two....

[@shanescarlife]

@@OldeCarrGuy maybe the US version is worth the extra $3. I can tell you the Canadian version isn't worth the $8, in my opinion. But I hear KFC in the US is way better than in Canada, so...

[@Ty5oN101]

Are these 5x114.3?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Yea they are. Very common bolt pattern!

[@davidlpf2007]

Pickles are good.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

No! No there’re not!

[@DrivenbyGears]

LOL a Quarter Pounder with cheese haha dam 11 in canadians

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I know.... Right?
