Dorman Wheel Spacers

The factory-installed wheels and tires of your vehicle are designed for driving at a designated speed and provide certain traction as you are accelerating, cornering, or braking. However, if you are into performance driving and you want to install a new set of rims and tires in order to transfer the power to the ground more effectively and give your auto a new look, you may also need to install wheel spacers. Your new wheels may have a wrong offset; you may need more space for a performance brake kit; or you may want to push your wheels farther away from the hubs for a flush look. That’s when you need Dorman wheel spacers.

These components are placed between the mounting planes of the axle and hub, while retaining the same bolt pattern. They are used to widen the track whenever required, while also ensuring the rim’s inner side clearance thus making fitment of different aftermarket brake and suspension parts easier. Besides, using longer bolts may become necessary to provide a more tight fitment. Wheel spacers are available in various thicknesses and bolt patterns to suit a wide range of requirements. A wider stance ensured by these parts is regarded as being more stable and can potentially give you more steering angle.

Very often, the aforementioned products are installed with hub-centric rings making their fitment and ride quality better. These units are designed and manufactured from out of aircraft-grade aluminum and its alloys, machined to exacting, precise dimensions, being compatible with most of the suspension setups. They ensure excellent load distribution and superior lateral support, all while improving your ride quality. Wheel spacers are especially needed by vehicle owners who want to install bigger-size rim-and-tire combos. They can potentially make your vehicle’s performance better, improving handling and stability.
