How to Measure for Wheel Spacers

The thickness of the spacer is critical for safety and performance. Choose a thickness that matches your measured wheel gap and vehicle specifications to ensure a secure fit and avoid any rubbing or misalignment issues. For example:

• Wheel gap: 12mm

• Recommended spacer size: 12mm or smaller

The wheel gap is the distance between the inner fender lip and the outer edge of your tire or rim. For example, if the gap is 12mm, you can install up to 12mm wheel spacers without causing rubbing issues. Accurately measuring this gap ensures the right fit for improved handling and aesthetics.

• Bolt Pattern (PCD): The bolt pattern is the diameter of the circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs, e.g., “5×112 mm.”

• Center Bore (CB): The center bore is the diameter of the hole in the wheel hub, e.g., “66.5 mm.” Both measurements ensure the spacers fit securely and function correctly.

The thread pitch refers to the specifications of your vehicle’s wheel bolts. For example, if your bolts are M14x1.5, choose spacers with matching bolts. If you require extended bolts, the length should equal the stock bolt length plus the spacer thickness.

Example:

• Stock bolt length: 30mm

• Spacer thickness: 12mm

• Required bolt length: 42mm
