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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these spacers improve wheel fitment on my vehicle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy moving the wheel 2 inches away from the hub, these spacers resolve rubbing and clearance problems with brakes, suspension components, or custom wheels.
