EVIL ENERGY 5x4.5 (5x114.3) 2" Wheel Spacers — 70.5mm Hubcentric, 1/2x20 Studs, 6061-T6 Aluminum

These EVIL ENERGY 2-inch, 5x4.5 (5x114.3) hubcentric wheel spacers with a 70.5 mm bore and 1/2x20 studs increase track width and clearance while maintaining precise hub centering.

If you need to correct backspacing, improve wheel fitment, or push wheels outward for a wider stance, these spacers are machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finish-anodized for corrosion resistance and consistent tolerances. Designed to bolt between the hub and wheel, they use hardened 10.9-grade geomet bolts and are CNC-cut for repeatable concentricity — important when you want stable driving characteristics after modification.

How do these spacers improve wheel fitment on my vehicle?

By moving the wheel 2 inches away from the hub, these spacers resolve rubbing and clearance problems with brakes, suspension components, or custom wheels. They restore proper wheel offset and allow more aggressive wheel/tyre combinations without modifying other components.

• Thickness: 2 inches to increase track and clearance
• Pattern: 5x4.5 (5x114.3 mm) PCD for compatible models
• Hubcentric bore: 70.5 mm for precise centering
• Studs: 1/2x20 to match common lug hardware

Are these spacers durable and safe for regular driving?

Manufactured from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the spacers balance strength with light weight to avoid unnecessary unsprung mass. Hardened 10.9-grade geomet bolts plus anodized surfaces reduce corrosion and provide long-term reliability when installed correctly.

• Material: 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum billet
• Bolts: 10.9-grade geomet for high tensile strength
• Production: CNC machining for consistent tolerances
• Finish: anodized for corrosion resistance

What vehicles and wheel locations are these spacers compatible with?

These spacers fit a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models, primarily on rear hubs or specific axle positions as noted. Always verify fitment against your vehicle’s year, hub bore, and lug pattern before purchasing.

• Ford: Ranger (1983–2011 rear hub only), Explorer (1991–2010 not for 2WD front), Mustang models and others listed
• Lincoln: Aviator, MKX, Town Car model years included
• Mercury: Grand Marquis, Marauder, Mountaineer model years included
• Confirm: 5x114.3 PCD and 70.5 mm hub bore match your hub

How should these spacers be installed for best results?

Install the spacer between the wheel hub bearing and the wheel, following the spacer and hub orientation instructions for a secure fit. Hand-tighten fasteners first to avoid over-torquing with power tools, and have wheels professionally balanced after installation to reduce vibration risk.

• Position: between hub bearing and wheel
• Fastening: follow difference in gasket and hub assembly method
• Torque: hand-tighten initially; use proper torque sequence and specs
• Post-install: recommend professional wheel balancing

Who is this for? These EVIL ENERGY 2-inch, 5x4.5 wheel spacers are aimed at owners of compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles who want to correct wheel clearance or achieve a wider stance without cutting or modifying suspension parts. They suit DIY installers comfortable with hub-and-wheel work and professional shops looking for a lightweight, hubcentric spacer option. If you need guaranteed compatibility, check your vehicle’s PCD, hub bore, and recommended lug hardware before ordering.
