Get the best wheel spacers and lug nuts at an affordable price. Wheel spacers are an easy way to improve the performance of your vehicle when you are in the driver’s seat. The design of this option will push the wheel further away from the chassis, creating a wider track and a lower center of gravity. That means you will experience more grip as you come into a corner, allowing for a faster acceleration response as you come out of it. You should install spacers on all four wheels to ensure that this benefit is something that you can experience while driving.

Wheel Adapters
Wheel adapters, on the other hand, are discs that can be mounted on a vehicle’s wheel hub assembly to change the existing bolt pattern. The obvious benefit of using wheel adapters is that they allow people to mount custom wheels to their vehicle, regardless of the bolt pattern. Using wheel adapters also increasing the offset of a vehicle’s wheels, which in turn can increase the handling of the vehicle, much like wheel spacers. Furthermore, since people are not restricted to using one particular bolt pattern for their vehicle they can often select tires and wheels that are larger, smaller, or plainly match the vehicle’s appearance better.
If you need to add a significant amount of clearance for your package, then the bolt-on type of wheel spacers is your best choice. They will connect to your existing hub, and then you can bolt the wheel to the product.

| Lug Nuts |
The washer type of wheel spacer is extremely affordable since it doesn’t require any additional mounting hardware to offer you these advantages. If you only need a few extra millimeters of clearance, then it only takes a few minutes to install this option since it sits between the hub and the wheel.
When you decide to use a washer-type wheel spacer to increase your clearance, then you are pushing the wheel out further than normal. That means your lug nuts will have fewer threads available for latching and securing the wheel to your vehicle. Every millimeter of thickness you add with a washer is that much length you can’t use on the outside of the rim. Fewer threads will always increase the risk of having your lug nuts become loose. As a general rule, if you run spacers that are thicker than 5 millimeters, then you will want to use longer bolts for your wheels.

If you are planning on installing wheel spacers and adapters onto your vehicle it’s often a good idea to also install longer bolts or studs so that the lug nuts on the wheel can be properly fastened. And it’s always a good practice when mounting wheels to make sure that all of the lug nuts are fastened securely as well, especially when using any wheel spacers or adapters. The many benefits of wheel spacers and adapters won’t mean much if your tires are mounted properly.
