Generally, installing 8×170 2 inch wheel spacers is a good idea to make your truck perform better in off-roading adventures. These 2-inch spacers push the wheels further out from the hub assembly, increasing the track width. A wider track provides several key benefits:
- Allows for fitting larger AT tires or aggressive off-road rims.
- A bolder, more powerful wheel stance.
- Enhanced stability on rough trails.
- Improved ride quality and rollover resistance.
To maintain the best performance and safety, it is crucial to choose the right set. Here are the key factors of choosing the safest 8×170 2 inch wheel spacers for your truck.
Top Picks of the Best 8×170 2-Inch Spacers
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Only the bolt patterns match can you achieve a proper wheel fitment. For example, the 8×170 2 inch wheel spacers can only fit a vehicle that comes with 8×170 bolt pattern.
Check Wheel Offset:
Determine your current wheel offset and calculate the difference from the desired offset. Generally, a 2-inch wheel spacer will reduce about 50mm offset. The less the offset, the more the wheels will stick out from the vehicle hub assembly.
Quality Material:
Not all 8×170 2-inch spacers are created equally. Always choose genuine brand wheel spacers that are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. High-quality aluminum rim spacers provide superior strength and rust resistance.
What is the 8×170 Wheel Spacers Torque Spec?
The REFERENCE torque spec of the 8×170 2-inch wheel spacers can be 83.3 ft-lb to 103.5 ft-lb. This is just a reference value. Some wheels or applications may require more or less tightening torque. It is always a good idea to ask a tire expert to figure out the exact torque spec before operating.
