Bronco Wheel Spacers

A clown car, very fitting!
Are all you images of your vehicles taken when getting repaired? lol

You're the guy driving the little Fucus clown car.. LOL

Those are just a couple lifts in my garage that I stack some of the cars on... .

Other than changing the 12 quarts of oil and proactively replacing the blower belt on the Paxton, no repairs on the Viper....

I was more referring to your images and the not so nice environments you show your vehicles in...

What's the saying..."a fool and his money are soon parted"...lol

You continue to talk in riddles.... I have zero clue what you're talking about, "not so nice environments" .

The pic of the TRX was on delivery day at the dealership, the Viper is in one of my garage bays on one of my lifts.

Your "a fool and his money are soon parted" comment is yet another mystery....

Enjoy your little Fucus.....

Settle down boys…whatever toys float you boat is fine…it is your boat…and of course spacer lifts, body lifts and wheel spacers are all just terrible things waiting to kill folks but I have had them all without failures and am still alive after nearly 80 years…very little proof and a lot of unsupported opinion…Party on!

Ha, you make me feel young at age 69, LOL

Take care

Don't shoot me but ... I question the importance of hub centric. Leastways I've owned vehicles where the wheels are located by the lugs. No issues with that arrangement - including off-roading.

Are hub centric vehicles designed with weak lugs or lugs that are not well located in terms of centricity, hence the need for hub centric locating?

Our wheels (most modern wheels) are hub centric and are mainly positioned and centered via the hubs, then held in place via the studs and lug nuts. Hub centric spacers have a female cut on the back side that mates with the male portion of the vehicle hub. The outside of the spacer has a male lip which the wheel fits on and is centered by.

It’s an additional way to ensure the wheels are correctly located and free of vibration.

The next time you mount a factory wheel you’ll notice it is first centered and held in place via the male portion of the hub, then cinched down via the studs and in our case 60* tapered lug nuts.

Good luck

This is fun. In case anyone with a Focus or a Viper forgot, here's the OP's question:

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum. I'm looking to improve the stance of my bronco with spacers. I came across these lightweight wheel spacers that seem pretty good quality.

https://wheelspacerstore.com/products/lightweight-wheel-spacers-ford-bronco-2021

What size do you recommend to get? Looking for a more aggressive stance. Thanks!

I bought Mishimoto’s “Borne off road” 30mm spacers for my non-sas badlands. With stock wheels, it equates to roughly the same offset as Sas wheels. I also installed 315/70r17 KO2’s and have non-sas flares. I think the poke looks perfect and have 0 rub. Nice quality spacers too.

This is an older post. Doing the same thing for my 2 door with the same wheels. What did you need for the spare? Any changes to make sure the spare fit?

I just had to trim the rubber bumpers behind the spare. Used a utility knife to cut them down. Took a few tries putting the spare on and off, but got it right eventually. I still have the same setup and have had no issues the spacers. The 35’s just fit under the brake light so no adjustment was needed.

I assume with the 30mm spacers you didn’t have to trim the wheel studs, correct?

Correct, no trimming needed

....
the 3/8" hub centric spacers on my Braptor simply slip on over the wheel studs.... Larger spacers incorporating their own wheel studs bolt on like a wheel. Blue Loktite, torque and check at every tire rotation exactly like the wheels (except Loktite). I would hope that even you with your "lifetime in motorsports' could probably figure that out...
...

[I cut the original quote down a bit.]
Reading through this thread, the issue of checking and possibly re-torquing a fastener with loktite on it seems to be more controversial than using spacers!

bora 1.5 spacers

1.5

Looks super great. I have a Wildtrak as well. How’s the handling. More stable? And vibrations? Anything different?

cero issues, 1.5 spacer and handling feels better on cornering.i like it witb spacers. Offroad cero issues. And they look nice with oem wheels.
and 35s
