Installation of spacers

Wheel spacers are installed between the hub and the wheel to slightly change the wheel position relative to the vehicle's body. This modification is sometimes used to adjust the stance of the vehicle or improve wheel fitment. However, this type of modification requires careful consideration because changes in wheel position can affect suspension load, hub stress, and tire wear. In typical New York city driving conditions most vehicles do not require wheel spacers since the factory setup is already designed for safe operation. In certain cases spacers are used on commercial vehicles, pickup trucks, or vehicles with modified suspension where additional clearance may be needed to prevent tires from contacting suspension components or wheel arches. At FIX SERVICE, wheel spacers are installed carefully with proper torque specifications and wheel fitment checks to ensure safe operation.
