Editor's Notes
May 01, 2019:
Wheel spacers mount between your vehicle’s hub and rim. Their main purpose is to provide a sportier look. Another benefit, however, is improved handling and cornering. For a choice compatible with select Toyotas that's known for durability and corrosion-resistance, check out the Spidertrax WHS007, and they’re made in the U.S.A. Or, look to the Supreme Suspensions 4pc, which are precision-machined to ensure they stay intact, even under heavy loads.
For a reliable universal-fit option for vehicles with 8x165.1 or 8x170 bolt patterns, look to the RockTrix 2pc, which comes with an affordable price. Note that if your studs are less than 1.5 inches long, you’ll need to look into a set with an extended length.
For safety’s sake, your set should match your exact bolt pattern, and you should always have this product installed by a professional mechanic who has experience in this area. This will ensure the hardware is tightened properly and torqued according to your car’s user manual. Once they're installed, spacers should also be inspected regularly (like when you have your tires rotated) as well as after hard use, such as offroading.
