You have a Maserati GT and you want to make it look even more stunning. You want to give it a wider stance, a more aggressive look, and a sharper handling. You want to make it your own.
How do you do that? Get Maserati GT wheel spacers.
Wheel spacers are devices that fit between the wheel and the hub, creating more space between the two. This can have several benefits for your car, such as:
- Improving the appearance of your car by pushing the wheels out to the edge of the fender
- Enhancing the handling and cornering of your car by increasing the lateral stability and lowering the roll center
- Allowing you to fit larger wheels and tires without rubbing or scraping
But how much wheel spacer do you need? How do you know what size is ideal for your car? And what are the factors to consider when choosing wheel spacers?
In this post, we will answer these questions and help you find the ideal size Maserati GT wheel spacers for your car.
How to choose the right size of Maserati GT wheel spacers
The size of the Maserati GT wheel spacers determines how much they will push your wheels out from the hub. The size is usually measured in millimeters (mm) or inches (in) and ranges from 1 mm to 60 mm or more.
The size you need depends on your personal preference and the size of your wheels and tires. Generally speaking, the larger the wheel spacer, the more noticeable the effect will be. However, you also need to consider other factors, such as:
- The gap between your wheel and fender: You want to measure the gap between your wheel and fender and choose a wheel spacer that is slightly smaller than that gap. For example, if you have a 10 mm gap, you can choose a 8 mm or 9 mm wheel spacer. This will ensure that your wheels will not rub or scrape against your fenders when turning or driving over bumps.
- The offset of your wheels: The offset of your wheels is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the mounting surface of the hub. A positive offset means that the hub is closer to the front of the wheel, while a negative offset means that the hub is closer to the back of the wheel. A lower offset will push your wheels out more, while a higher offset will push your wheels in more. You want to choose a wheel spacer that will compensate for your offset and bring your wheels closer to the centerline of your car. For example, if you have a +35 mm offset, you can choose a 15 mm or 20 mm wheel spacer to reduce it to +20 mm or +15 mm.
- The width of your tires: The width of your tires is the distance between the inner and outer sidewalls of your tires. A wider tire will fill up more space in your fender, while a narrower tire will leave more space in your fender. You want to choose a wheel spacer that will match your tire width and create a flush look with your fender. For example, if you have a 245 mm tire width, you can choose a 15 mm or 20 mm wheel spacer to bring your wheels out more.
Another way to determine the size you need is to use a wheel spacer calculator online. These tools allow you to enter your car model, wheel size, offset, and desired stance, and they will tell you the ideal wheel spacer size for your car.
