Universal wheel spacers: a set of 4 aluminum spacers from 3 to 10 mm, for 4x100 to 5x120
These universal wheel spacers are perforated aluminum discs that fit between the hub and the rim. Their elongated holes accommodate most four- and five-stud bolt patterns: 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100, 5x108, 5x114.3, and 5x120. The set contains 4 spacers of the same thickness, enough to equip the entire car at an affordable price.
Why choose these universal wheel spacers
- One model for six bolt patterns: convenient if you change cars or rims.
- Set of 4: front and rear treated identically in a single order.
- Four thicknesses: 3, 5, 8, or 10 mm, for fine flushness adjustment.
- Lightweight aluminum, with no noticeable effect on unsprung mass.
- Large central opening that accommodates most hubs.
- Low price compared to a model-specific wheel spacer.
Universal wheel spacer: what is it used for?
A thin wheel spacer solves three common problems. It spaces out a rim that touches the brake caliper after a brake upgrade. It corrects a slightly excessive rim offset. Finally, it aligns the wheel with the fender for a neater look on a city car, compact car, or light commercial vehicle. The 3 and 5 mm thicknesses are suitable for most cars without modification; 8 and 10 mm require checking the length of the bolts or studs. Unlike a hub-centric wheel spacer, a universal spacer does not recenter the rim: the rim remains centered by its bolts.
Technical specifications
Supported bolt patterns: 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100, 5x108, 5x114.3, 5x120. Thicknesses: 3, 5, 8, or 10 mm. Material: aluminum. Installation: spacer placed between the hub and the rim. Packaging: 4 pieces of the same thickness. Wheel bolts: to be provided depending on the thickness.
Installation: the wheel bolt rule
Installation takes about ten minutes per wheel: remove the wheel, clean the hub, place the spacer by aligning its holes with the mounting holes, then remount the rim. The bolt or nut must always engage for a length at least equal to its diameter: from 5 mm, provide for longer wheel bolts equal to the thickness of the spacer. Tighten in a star pattern with a torque wrench, then check the tightness after 50 to 100 km. A spacer must never prevent the rim from resting flat on the hub. The wheel must remain under the fender: check the technical inspection rules if in doubt.
Frequently asked questions
Will this universal spacer fit my car?
It is suitable if your bolt pattern is on the list and if the hub fits through the central opening. Also check that nothing protrudes from the face of the hub.
Are longer wheel bolts required?
For 3 mm, rarely. From 5 mm, usually: add the thickness of the spacer to the original length.
Is a universal spacer safe?
Yes, for small thicknesses, with sufficiently long bolts and torque tightening. For more than 10 mm, a bolted wheel spacer is preferable.
Can two spacers be stacked?
We advise against it: choose the desired thickness directly.
How many spacers are in the set?
Four identical spacers, one per wheel.
