Does anyone ever used wheel spacers or know about them?
It doesn't sound very safe.
BONOSS makes them from 5-25mm.
According to them it improves cornering.
Any ideas? www.bonoss.com

Every discussion about wheel spacers on forum. There’s just a few mentions.

Let me say this about that. 😆

Just a couple of spacer comments.... I don’t like spacers. BUT, I use them. Would prefer not to but with the many sets of wheels I’ve gone through, to have them all be the perfect size/offset is asking for an ideal world.

I have several sets in my tool box for my different wheelsets still on my rack as well as a pair currently on my car. They are helpful in getting my tires/wheels situated.

Do they improve handling? Depends. If you have a set of wheels that are too high on offset, then yes, getting them back to proper offset with spacers will “improve handling” (but only because excessive offset hurts handling so you’re effectively and proactively negating the ill effects back to staus quo).

Putting a set on one’s stock wheels won’t necessarily improve handling by much but for improved looks, they work wonders.

Safe? Depends as well. With proper torque and regular re-checks, no issues. I haven’t heard of anyone wrecking because their spacers fell apart in decades. (Some of the original spacers way back when were pretty sketch.)

S’far as the brand you mention, not familiar with them. There’s lots of spacers out there, many name brands costing over $100. But honestly, I’ve been using inexpensive eBay spacers (from a seller called Premier Auto Accessories, local to me here). Have used at least a dozen full sets of them without a problem. (I only have a few sets left because i throw them in with a wheel sale if for a Z.)

Bottom line: always best to get proper offset wheels but if you happen upon a set of TEs with a slightly “off offset” with a great one grand price tag, well hey, use spacers. I’ve run at least six sets of Z34 forged wheels thanks to spacers to “correct” the huge (for Z33) 40mm offset on the front wheels. Even my Volks sets benefit from a little “adjustment”. Good luck.
