Can you go fast with wheel spacers?
If your car has the more favourable set up of negative scrub radius then installing a wheel spacer can cause bigger issues. This reduces the life of the wheel bearing as they are not made to take leverage forces and can therefore wear faster, increasing rolling resistance and power loss of the car.
Do wheel spacers affect acceleration?
No, wheel spacers does not make your car slower. -They make you infintesimally slower in a straight line because they add more weight. But overall they are a performance gain – unless they change the thrust angle of the steering too much (15mm on the front isn’t good, imo), then they can make the car react more slowly.
Are wheel spacers actually safe?
Are Wheel Spacers Safe to Use? Because a vehicle’s weight is not sustained by its wheel studs, the use of wheel spacers is generally considered to be safe. A vehicle’s wheels are actually held to their corresponding hubs with a clamping force that is achieved through the tightening of each wheel’s lug nuts.
Are 10mm spacers safe?
Simply put, yes. Spacers are safe for both daily driving and track duty if installed correctly. Quality spacers are made of materials that are as strong if not stronger than the wheels and hub, so they shouldn’t be the weak link in your setup.
