Wheel spacers

Wheel spacers, also called spacers, are round blocks that are often made of aluminum or steel. A track widener can be placed between the rim and the hub. A spacer widens the track of your car. Widening the track width not only improves the look of your car, but also improves road holding. They are often used when you want to mount another rim with a higher ET value on the car. A higher ET value causes the wheel to move further in. There is then a chance that the wheel will spin. You can prevent this with a track widener.

Buying wheel spacers or spacers: what should you pay attention to?
Do you need track wideners or spacers? Then it might first be interesting to explain to you what a track widener or spacer is and what you can use them for. Spacers are round metal discs that we place between the rim and the wheel hub, so that the wheels come out further out.

They increase the track width of your car. By track width we mean the distance between the center of the right tire and the center of the left tire. The use of track wideners makes the car better on the road. In general, spacers are made of aluminum, magnesium or a mixture of both. By having a track widener mounted on your car, you have more control over your car and your car will stand out more, especially in combination with a set of beautiful rims.

The MOT inspection and wheel spacers or wheel spacers:
Now you may be wondering whether your car will pass the MOT if you have wheel spacers fitted. The apk master will not immediately look for spacers on your car. He will check whether the track wideners do not cause technical defects, as a result of which the car may not pass the MOT.
The rule applies that the track widener may be a maximum of 2 percent larger than the size stated on the vehicle registration certificate or in the vehicle registration register. In addition, attention must also be paid to the use of the correct bolts and nuts when mounting the wheel spacer or wheel spacer. For example, the bolts and nuts must not be too short and must be screwed in at least 10-12 mm.
