Why Can Wheel Spacers Only Be Installed on the Rear Wheels?

1 Answers

08/27/25 6:30am

The reasons why wheel spacers are only installed on the rear wheels are as follows: 1. Adding wheel spacers to the car's rims widens the track, theoretically improving driving stability and better resisting cornering roll. 2. They are used to match some modified rim products with less-than-ideal ET values. 3. Some modified rims have excessively large ET values, which reduce the track, so wheel spacers are needed to offset the impact of the overly large ET values. Additional Information: The quality of wheel spacer products varies. If the material, heat treatment, forging, and machining processes cannot be guaranteed, it is best not to use wheel spacers unless absolutely necessary. Because once a wheel spacer deforms or even breaks, and the wheel separates from the car body, it can lead to serious accidents.

Are Mud Tires Suitable for Snow?

Mud tires are not suitable for snow as they can affect driving safety and stability. If your area experiences heavy snowfall during winter, it is recommended to use winter tires. Mud tires, commonly known as MT tires, have stronger sidewalls, more exaggerated tread blocks, and significantly larger gaps between tread blocks, which facilitate slow mud expulsion or high-speed mud slinging in muddy conditions. Additionally, they provide better traction on rough terrains such as uneven rocks. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure optimal driving performance.

Can You Drive on the Highway with Temporary License Plates?

You can drive on the highway with temporary license plates, but there are certain restrictions: 1. Temporary plates with sky blue background, black characters, and black borders are only valid for driving within the city limits. 2. Temporary plates with brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders are for inter-city driving. Temporary license plates are paper plates issued for temporary use, allowing vehicles to operate on roads for a limited period, usually not exceeding 30 days. Temporary plates include four main types: temporary plates for administrative districts, temporary plates for cross-administrative districts, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special-type vehicles. There are two temporary plates, with the front displaying the plate number and validity period, and the back showing detailed vehicle information.

What should I do if I scratched someone else's car?

Methods for handling the situation when you scratch someone else's car: Do not flee the scene. You can contact the other car owner for compensation, or call the police to have the traffic police contact the owner to handle the matter, and then contact your insurance company for damage assessment. If you scratch someone else's car and neither the other party nor the traffic police have arrived yet, the car owner can first take photos with a mobile phone as evidence. Capture the scene of the collision between the two cars, including the license plates, and then move the car to a safe location to avoid causing traffic congestion. If you flee after scratching someone else's car, as long as the other car owner has evidence proving it was your fault, this minor accident will be considered a hit-and-run, and the consequences can be very serious.

What is the transmission model of the Hongqi HS5?

The transmission model of the Hongqi HS5 is the Aisin 6AT, which utilizes two sets of planetary gears to reduce fuel consumption during upshifts and aids in the locking of the torque converter. The application of an energy-saving valve also allows the engine to utilize fuel more efficiently during idling or at low speeds. To enhance NVH performance, the Aisin 6AT employs long-stroke dampers, effectively suppressing transmission vibrations during driving. These long-stroke dampers also significantly contribute to maintaining low engine speeds. The Hongqi HS5 is a mid-size SUV launched by FAW Hongqi, with dimensions of 4760mm in length, 1907mm in width, and 1700mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2870mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 340Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Why Should Cars Be Preheated in Winter?

The reason for preheating a car in winter is to allow the engine oil temperature to rise, which improves the lubrication effect of the oil. During winter, outdoor temperatures are relatively low, and the oil becomes more viscous. If the oil temperature is too low, its fluidity decreases, making it difficult to fully lubricate the engine. In fact, idling the engine to warm up the car is unnecessary in winter. The correct way to warm up the car is to start the engine and then drive at low speed in gear, as this increases the engine load and speeds up the warming process. Winter driving precautions: 1. Ventilate frequently by opening windows; 2. Alternate between using the internal and external air circulation in the air conditioning system; 3. Start gently and slowly, shift gears frequently, and try to maintain a steady speed while driving.

Is Engine Intake Cleaning Necessary?

Engine intake cleaning is necessary. Since there is currently no complete method to prevent carbon deposits, if not cleaned regularly, carbon deposits will accumulate endlessly. Once carbon deposits build up in the intake system, it may cause engine shaking, reduced power, and in severe cases, even engine cylinder scoring or seizure. Methods for engine intake cleaning: 1. Bottle cleaning: Also known as non-disassembly cleaning, this method involves introducing cleaning agents into the engine intake pipe via a bottle, where they are drawn into the engine combustion chamber along with the intake airflow. During this process, the cleaning agents clean the engine intake system, especially the throttle and intake valve positions. 2. Disassembly cleaning: Requires removing the engine intake passage for cleaning.
