Are wheel spacers and adapters the same?

 

1. Reasons for increasing hub adapters and spacers.

 

  • Beautiful. After the car is modified, the addition of wheel adapters and spacer will make the car and the tires more compatible.


  • Performance. The performance referred to here focuses on the stability of the vehicle and the improvement of the vehicle's cornering roll. With the increase of the coaxial track, it does have a good stability improvement for the car's high speed and cornering. Moreover, for the driver, the position of the car's wheels and tires will feel better.

 

2. The role of wheel adapters and spacers.

 

  • Change the hole distance. Some of the car wheels have four holes and some have five holes. The distance between some holes is very large, and some are relatively small. At this time, a adapter is needed to connect the hole between the original car and the wheel hub.


  • Increase the space inside the wheel hub. Generally speaking, when refitting, for example, a large six-piston, due to the limited space inside the original wheel hub, it may not be coordinated after installation. At this time, there are two options, one is to replace a wheel with a low ET value, and the other is to pad adapters.

     

  • Change the elevation angle. Some cars can directly adjust the elevation angle, while others cannot. At this time, a piece of spacer with a narrow top and a wide bottom can be used, but this is a low-cost modification method and not many people use it.

3. How to choose wheel adapters and spacers?

 

  • The connection between the hub and the axle mainly relies on their contact surfaces and the friction generated when the screws are pressed to ensure the correct connection of the hub and the axle, so as to ensure the safety of the hub and the axle when the vehicle is running, and this friction surface is It is bound to have a certain impact if it becomes two sides. Therefore, products with better materials and workmanship accuracy must be selected to ensure safety.


  • During the installation process, it must be observed that the adapters and spacers can completely fit the contact surface of the hub and the axle. Try to make the added gasket or flange form a whole with the hub and axle.


  • Brand guarantee, choose gaskets or flanges produced by familiar modified brands. After all, big brands will have more design guarantees, strict testing procedures, and reliable materials when developing these products.
