The role of wheel spacers

‌Increase aesthetics‌: By adding spacers, the wheel profile will appear wider, making the wheel eyebrow flush with the outside of the wheel, thereby improving the appearance of the vehicle.

‌Improve stability‌: For some micro vehicles, such as mini vans, by adding spacers to widen the wheelbase, the vehicle's turning stability can be improved and the risk of rollover in special circumstances can be reduced.

‌Adapt to different wheels and vehicles‌: Wheel spacers (also called reducers or adapters) are used to adjust the installation size of the wheel hub to adapt it to different vehicle and wheel hub combinations.
