Adding Chevy wheel spacers is one of the easiest and quickest ways to fix tire rubbing issues. They can also improve handling and rollover resistance, keeping your vehicle from vibrating strangely on the road. Since wheel spacers push the rims out, many modification enthusiasts would like to get some nice spacers along with bigger tires for a more aggressive and powerful stance.
As long as you use high-quality Chevy wheel spacers and install them properly, it is worry-free to add wheel spacers to your cars. Companies that provide quality well-made wheel spacers invested a hefty sum in designing and testing their products. So, genuine brand wheel spacers are exactly safe for daily driving and off-roading events.
Chevy Wheel Spacers Installation Pro Tips
Clean the Wheel Hub:
Spray degreaser on the wheel hub, use a brush to clean as much as the rust. Then wipe it down with the emery cloth. Make sure the contact surfaces are smooth. Any rust that exists will cause the spacer to be installed not completely parallel to the hub.
Proper Torque Chevy Wheel Spacers:
Use a torque wrench to tighten up the wheel nuts to the stipulated torque. The REFERENCE torque specs of the Chevy wheel spacers are 83.3 ft-lbs for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lbs for M14 bolts. Always tighten them in a criss-cross pattern. This ensures that the wheel is seated correctly and snugly.
Re-torque Wheel Spacers:
it is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance. By torquing each wheel nut to the proper torque specification, your new wheel spacers will safely function.
