If you change the track width on either the front or back in correlation to the other half of the vehicle, (I.e. putting a 15mm spacer on the back of your front wheel drive Honda) it will change the overall stability of the car. Car makers make the front track width wider for stability purposes.

Spacers are usually ok with wheel hubs that have dual tapered roller bearings (eg full- floats and older solid axle fronts). On any other hubs (ie any half-ton truck) they notably increase the loads on the wheel bearings and shafts and decrease the load capacity of your axle/hubs and therefore of your truck.

During install proper torquing is key. Also it doesn't hurt to use never seize behind the spacer so that it will release if and when the time comes to remove them. Loctite as well so a good idea.

@@t-martz2883 it's a good idea. The only thing to watch out for is garbage parts. You want to make sure the spacers are CNC machined from a single block of aircraft aluminum and make sure they are hubcentric. Meaning there is a channel on the mating surface that hugs the hub ring as well as a lip on the exterior that mates with the rim that imitates a hub ring.

Any knowledge you guys have about similar mods requiring front spacers to keep rub from happening with the Titan UCA's? I'm wanting to know since my research has led me to believe that I'll need 2" spacers for the back to even out the line from front to back. If I might need a spacer up front, I'll want to know how much larger the rear spacer will need to be.

OK, just so I wasn’t going to be “one of those people”, I watched just about all of your spacer videos but I did not get an answer to my burning question. You talk about the performance of the spacer on the truck itself but how will it affect the ability to tow a trailer because that is added weight put onto the rear suspension/wheels. I have an tongue pull RV that has a total tow weight of around the 7000 pound mark MOL and I am concerned that continuous towing of an RV on spacers will cause damage even on hubcentric spacers of 1 1/2 or 2 inches leading to breakage. Can you enlighten me on that aspect please. Thank You!!! Great work on the information I’ve seen thus far.

Will one resist heavy loads in the rear of the truck more? I use my truck to carry at most 1700lbs of materials for work sometimes, so just want to make sure i get the most durable one. Or does the weight in the rear not affect the spacers at all?

Have a 2018 Ram 1500 4WD and looking to lift or level it. I’m unsure how much a difference a 4in lift would make compared to a level. Obviously I know one is going to be, 4in taller lol but I’m considering getting in and out for my daily driver and also reaching the engine compartment. I don’t do any off-roading or anything like that, it’s my daily driver. I don’t want to do any kind of cutting, I really don’t want to cut the frame. So far my choices were to get the readylift 4in sst lift, but I’ve heard the ride quality is more stiff and not great. Also was looking at doing bilstein 5100 front and back with new springs/coils set at 2.1 and if I want I can add a spacer later with new upper control arms. Not sure what’s more reliable, offers the better ride, and what’s worth the money so I don’t buy something I don’t need. What do you think?

The c1500 and k1500 are both 5 lug on your website for the spacers. So please change that not hating or anything I love you guys and your videos but that’s something that should be fixed so people don’t buy the wrong spacers. idk if you guys just have a picture of the 5 lug for all the spacers pictures and you do get sent the right lug nut amount when you get the spacers sent to you but it’s a little confusing like I said especially people who don’t know a lot of trucks or cars in general

This has less to do with the spacers themselves and more about the wheel/tire combo and the effects on scrub radius a spacer has. OEM's design suspension components around a certain scrub radius. The bearings are specced specifically to handle the loads through the wheel/tire combo at that radius. When you add a spacer and move the wheel further out, you change these forces and either have too much, or not enough scrub and wear out the bearings from over or under loading them. (the under loading happens from not moving enough grease around the bearing race). Most people don't put spacers on to keep the same track width, so that is where the "myth" it is caused by spacers comes from. If you keep the overall same track width, a spacer will do no more harm than the factory wheels do absent any vibration issues they may cause if they aren't balanced well.

I can either get 37” fury mt’s wrapped around 24x14’s or 22x12’s in 37” Nitto ridge grapplers because ridge grapplers in 37x13.5R24 are uncharged like 1k from 22’s and I don’t like the small diameter deep dish wheels (22x14). To get the same poke as the 14 wides I would have to get inch spacers all around. On a daily driver what would be the best descision? 14 wides on mt’s or 12 wides on rt’s and 1in spacers? Buying the 12 wides also saves me around 1k.

Truck wheel spacers are different that car spacers? I don't know. My drift car is running 17x10 +0 offset wheels on all four corners and I have 25mm spacers in the rear and 50mm spacers in the front. That's 1 inch in the rear and 2 inches in the front.

The spacers themselves do not, however the sizes of the wheels you put on could have an affect on premature wear of the wheel bearings.

@@CustomOffsetsTV You really should have added that into the video and explained why. Any time you change the track width of a vehicle substantially using wheel offset or spacers, you put wheel bearings/tie rods, ball joints, u joints out of spec for their operating ranges and can see failures. The rate of failure depends entirely on how far out you push the track width from factory. You could, in theory, run 15" spacers with a ridiculous wheel with factory scrub radius and track width and have no issues with wheel bearings at all because the force is transmitted through the same plane as factory.

So I have a 2011 f150 with a 2.5 inch leveling kit. I am running and 18x10 -24 with 33's. I wanted to make it wider with 2 inch spacers. Put a set on my truck and the top of the tires were tipped in. Went to take it to get an alingment but they said it couldn't be done because there wasnt enough to adjust it to correct the alignment. My upper controle arms are maxed out with the 2.5 inch level. Any ideas of what I could do to run the spacers without ruining my tires? Cheapest way possible.

Fuller, I’m considering doing an axle swap on my truck(2nd gen dodge 1500) to one tons(from a 2nd gen 2500). That being said, I don’t want to buy two sets of wheels. Would it be safe/recommended to run adapters on my stock axles(5x139.7) for wheels I’d eventually put on tons(8x6.5)?

Did you widen the stance of your Cherokee over factory? If yes, then that is why you had problems with wheel bearings. When you use a spacer to widen the stance of the vehicle, or change a wheel offset to do the same, you change the way stress is transmitted to the bearings in the suspension. That may cause problems depending on how much load the bearing was designed to handle.

You may be okay. But anytime you put the wheel further out you are giving weight more working leverage on your axle, bearings, springs, and other components. So in theory if you have a 2" spacer past factory spec and you load the bed to factory capacity your bearings, axle, and springs would be overloaded by book spec.
