Wheel spacers are devices that fit between the wheel and the hub of a vehicle, increasing the distance between them. They are often used to improve the appearance, performance, and handling of a vehicle by creating a wider stance and reducing the wheel gap. But can you run Mitsubishi Outlander wheel spacers off-road? The answer is yes, but there are some things you need to consider before doing so.
Benefits of running Mitsubishi Outlander wheel spacers off-road
Running Mitsubishi Outlander wheel spacers off-road can have several benefits:
Enhancing stability and traction: By widening the track width of your Outlander, wheel spacers can increase the stability and traction of your vehicle on uneven terrain. This can help you avoid rollovers, skidding, and losing control of your vehicle.
Clearing larger tires: If you want to install larger tires on your Outlander for better off-road performance, you may need wheel spacers to create enough clearance between the tires and the fenders, suspension components, and brake calipers. Wheel spacers can also prevent rubbing and scraping issues that can damage your tires and other parts.
Improving aesthetics: Wheel spacers can also improve the look of your Outlander by filling out the wheel wells and giving it a more aggressive stance. This can make your vehicle stand out from the crowd and reflect your personal style.
How to get safe Mitsubishi Outlander wheel spacers off-road
If you decide to run Mitsubishi Outlander wheel spacers off-road, you need to choose and install them properly to ensure safety and performance. Here are some tips to help you:
Choose the right size and type of wheel spacers: The size and type of wheel spacers you need depend on the size and offset of your wheels, the size and width of your tires, and the amount of clearance you want to create. You can use a wheel spacer calculator online to determine the optimal size of wheel spacers for your Outlander. You also need to choose between bolt-on and slip-on wheel spacers, depending on whether you want to replace or reuse your existing wheel studs.
Choose high-quality wheel spacers from reputable brands: Not all wheel spacers are created equal. You need to choose high-quality wheel spacers that are made of durable materials, such as forged aluminum or steel, and have precise machining and fitment. You also need to choose wheel spacers from reputable brands that have good reviews and ratings from other customers.
Install the wheel spacers correctly and securely: Installing wheel spacers is not a difficult task, but it requires some tools and skills. You need to follow the instructions from the manufacturer and use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts or bolts to the specified torque values. You also need to check the fitment and clearance of the wheel spacers before driving your vehicle. You should also inspect and retorque the lug nuts or bolts periodically to ensure they are not loose or damaged.
