What are the effects of installing wheel spacers on a car?

[StPenelope]

The effects of installing wheel spacers on a car are as follows: 1. Advantages: Adding wheel spacers to the car's wheels widens the track width, theoretically improving driving stability, better resisting cornering roll, and making the vehicle's appearance look fuller. It is also used to match some aftermarket wheel products with less-than-ideal ET values. 2. Disadvantages: There are safety hazards. If the spacer bolts become loose or break, it can lead to wheel detachment. The probability is very low, and drivers can usually feel the wheels wobbling if the bolts loosen, allowing them to stop in time to avoid accidents. However, installing low-quality spacers can be significantly more harmful. 3. Purpose: To increase the car's track width or to switch to preferred wheels using adapter spacers. The greatest benefit of increasing the track width is enhanced stability and better handling. It can address issues such as vehicle roll and drift during high-speed driving and cornering, making the car drive more smoothly and improving comfort.
