First of all you need to get everything you need at hand. For this project ,You'll need: a jack ( if you have an elevator, things will be easier, of course), spacers (we recommend quality parts only), wire brush, anti-seize cream and a torque wrench ( with a 17 mm deep socket).

How to install 2” wheel spacers?

Firstly, apply you parking brake and then lift you car on the jack or the elevator and remove the wheel ( Photo no. 1)


After that, clean the rust and dirt off of the hub (Photo no 2). Take your time, this is essential for the spacers to fit exactly on the hub and avoid getting any kind of vibrations later on.

Step 3: apply a thin coat of anti-seize cream. The anti-seize cream must go only around the center hub (Photo no 3).


Step 4: fit your spacer on the hub and make sure sits flush all around (Photo no. 4)


Step 5: tighten the nuts to 90 ft-lb (122 Nm) of torque. The new bolts should be longer than the old, OEM ones.

Step 6: Repeat steps 1-5 for all 4 wheels.
