Is it safe to put wheel spacers on a trailer?
The tires rub on the frame just enough to make them not work. We do not recommend the use of spacers because it can cause otherwise avoidable issues with your tires and hubs; the added stress from an extension/spacer can cause tire wear or internal issues with the hub.
Are wheel spacers bad for towing?
As long as you’re not towing super heavy you should be fine. I’ve towed a 28ft trailer with spacers before never had a problem.
Is it bad to install wheel spacers?
If your car has the more favourable set up of negative scrub radius then installing a wheel spacer can cause bigger issues. The outward movement of the wheel can make a negative scrub radius become zero. Secondly, installing wheel spacers on a car increases the leverage on the wheel bearing.
Do wheel spacers affect payload?
Bad idea… 2.0 spacers move the wheel shear load too far from the hub. And you will have near-limit payloads.
What is hub centric spacers?
Hub centric wheel spacers mean wheel spacers with small rings of metal made with specific diameters to fit the wheel hub, transforming a lug-centric wheel into a hub-centric one. This allows for creating a snug connection between wheel and axle hub, which is no gap, no high-speed vibration.
What can 8 lug wheel spacers be used for?
These hub centric 8 lug wheel spacers, and dually wheel spacers are specifically designed for vehicles using factory wheels. They may also be used to make aftermarket wheels hub centric. For example, installing larger tires for more clearance and/or wider stance.
How are wheel spacers different from wheel adapters?
Wheel spacers are used to widen the stance of a vehicle using the factory wheels. Unlike adapters, wheel spacers will keep the same bolt pattern as the vehicle. Spacers are available in two designs, hub centric and lug centric, ‘slip-on’ or ‘bolt-on’ style. Hub Centric designs are hub piloted,…
Are there hub centric wheel spacers for SRW trucks?
The Spacers marked Dually are designed specifically for the dually. The links marked SRW 2500/3500 will fit Single Rear Wheel (SRW) Trucks. All hub centric wheel spacers are custom built to order and are typically completed within 5 – 7 business days. If using aftermarket wheels, you will need to provide the center bore size.
What are the different types of bolt on spacers?
Bolt on Spacers are available in two designs, hub centric and lug centric. Hub Centric wheel spacers pilot by the hub of the vehicle. This means they center on the hub of the vehicle while simulating the piloting lip on the face side. Lug Centric would mean they are centered only by the lug nuts.
