Ensure your vehicle handles like a dream with perfectly measured wheel spacers. Learn how to measure your wheel gap, bolt pattern (PCD), centre bore, and thread pitch in this easy guide to achieve a secure fit, improved stability, and sleek aesthetics. Don’t risk misalignment – follow our expert tips for a flawless installation!
How to Choose the Right Wheel Spacer Thickness
The thickness of the spacer is critical for safety and performance. Choose a thickness that matches your measured wheel gap and vehicle specifications to ensure a secure fit and avoid any rubbing or misalignment issues. For example:
Wheel gap: 12mm
Recommended spacer size: 12mm or smaller
Step 1: Measure the Wheel Gap
The wheel gap is the distance between the inner fender lip and the outer edge of your tire or rim. For example, if the gap is 12mm, you can install up to 12mm wheel spacers without causing rubbing issues. Accurately measuring this gap ensures the right fit for improved handling and aesthetics.

Step 2: Determine the Bolt Pattern (PCD) & Center Bore (CB)
Bolt Pattern (PCD): The bolt pattern is the diameter of the circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs, e.g., “5×112 mm.”
Center Bore (CB): The center bore is the diameter of the hole in the wheel hub, e.g., “66.5 mm.” Both measurements ensure the spacers fit securely and function correctly.

Step 3: Identify the Thread Pitch
The thread pitch refers to the specifications of your vehicle’s wheel bolts. For example, if your bolts are M14x1.5, choose spacers with matching bolts. If you require extended bolts, the length should equal the stock bolt length plus the spacer thickness.
Example:
Stock bolt length: 30mm
Spacer thickness: 12mm
Required bolt length: 42mm

Quick Tips for Measuring Wheel Spacers
The thread pitch refers to the specifications of your vehicle’s wheel bolts. For example, if your bolts are M14x1.5, choose spacers with matching bolts. If you require extended bolts, the length should equal the stock bolt length plus the spacer thickness.
Example:
Stock bolt length: 30mm
Spacer thickness: 12mm
Required bolt length: 42mm
Why Proper Measurements Matter
Accurate measurements ensure the wheel spacers:
Enhance stability and handling.
Prevent rubbing or alignment issues.
