00:00Large aftermarket wheels and wider tires are common causes of rubbing.
00:07Increasing wheel and tire size is a common modification for various vehicles for cosmetic
00:13and performance reasons. However, many components of the wheel well are fixed, including the fenders,
00:20body, and components such as springs, struts, steering linkage, and cross tires.
00:26Large aftermarket wheels can cause rubbing, as can wider tires. Wheel spacers can give
00:32them more room to avoid rubbing. You can watch where the rubs occurred if you notice rubbing.
00:37When the vehicle is stirred with wider tires installed, if they occurred in locations such
00:42as the suspension and control arms, wheel spacers will help you push the wheels away from the vehicle,
00:48and wheel spacers will eliminate these rubs. Yes, wheel spacers can easily solve big brake clearance
00:55issues. Typically, performance brake calipers are bigger than originally equipped ones.
01:01Larger brakes often require more space to fit. Thus, it is necessary to utilize wheel spacers or
01:07to upgrade to new aftermarket wheels. However, aftermarket wheels usually vary in style, seat
01:14types, and materials. It may take more time and budget to get the correct stat. In this case,
01:21wheel spacers are the most cost-effective option to maximize wheel fitment easily by moving the
01:27wheel outward from the caliper. They prevent the caliper from contacting the inner wheel's box.
01:33The thicker the wheel spacers you install, the farther the wheel is pushed out.
01:38So, it is also important to ensure your rings and tires don't rub against the inner wheel well. Besides,
01:44bonus AFT cooling wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better.
01:50Distribute in petal shape. These grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the
01:56wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat. So, it achieves the purpose of AFT
02:02dissipating heat for the braking system. There are small notches that distribute on the corner of the
02:07wheel spacers. These notches access air collectors which tremendously energize the airflow, enhancing the
02:14heat dissipation effect, and improving road safety. To sum up, wheel spacers are used to increase the
02:20space between the wheel and the wheel hub assembly, effectively pushing the wheel away from the vehicle
02:26body or suspension component. By doing so, they can help create additional carry-ons for larger tires
02:32or just issues where the wheel is rubbing against the vehicle fenders or suspension parts.
