Stance+ Wheel Spacer Fitting Advice:
All our Stance+ Alloy Wheel Spacers should be fitted by a qualified professional. Please make sure you read and understand the fitting advice below-
We try and answer the most searched questions below, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of this information, and we accept no liability for any damage caused by incorrect fitting. The fitting of our Stance+ Alloy Wheel Spacers and Stance+ Wheel Bolts is done at your own liability.
PLEASE READ THROUGH THE ADVICE BELOW PRIOR TO FITTING.
This applies to all three types of our Stance+ Alloy Wheel Spacer Range. Stance+ System A, Stance+ System A Centric and Stance+ System B+ Wheel Spacers.
1. Remove your wheel. The exposed wheel hub will need to be cleaned to ensure a dirt free, flat surface to mount the Stance+ Wheel Spacer. Clean the vehicles hub and mounting surface thoroughly. We advise removing any dirt or rust using a wire brush.
2. Test fit the Stance+ Spacer onto the back of the wheel and make sure the Stance+ Spacer spigot ring (only applies to 13mm Stance+ Spacers or larger) fits correctly into the wheel centre bore locating hub. Our Stance+ Spacer centre bores are car specific so should match perfectly to your alloy wheel and wheel hub.
3. After you have confirmed the centre bore is correct, brush a small amount of copper grease onto the back of the spacer. Place the Stance+ Wheel Spacer onto the vehicles hub and make sure it sits flush against the mounting surface and that there is no play or movement. Any dirt or debris left on the hub will cause wheel vibration. It is essential the wheel hub is free from dust, grit and debris and the Stance+ Spacer fits perfectly flush against the wheel hub.
4. If you have purchased a Stance+ Spacer Kit, or Stance+ Wheel bolts separately please make sure to compare the wheel bolts against your original bolts and make sure the seating matches the original bolts. There are two types: Radius and Tapered. This is essential for safe and secure fitting of your wheels.
5. If you are installing Stance+ Extended Wheel Bolts ensure the threaded shaft length of the new bolts are longer than the original bolts by the thickness of the spacer.
6. Using a torque wrench, tighten the wheel bolts/nuts evenly in a star or crisscross pattern to ensure an even alignment and correct seating of the Stance+ Wheel Spacer. This ensures the proper and correct installation of the Stance+ Spacers. Rotate the wheel prior to lowering the vehicle back down to ensure the wheel spins freely. If the wheel bolts are too long this can cause damage to the wheel drum or ABS ring on the back of the brake disc. (you may need to take off the hand brake to check). Torque the wheel bolts using a Torque wrench to manufacturer recommended settings. Do not use a compressed air gun. Re-torque after approx. 20 miles of driving.
7. Our Stance+ System B+ Bolt-On Wheel Spacers are supplied with short headed nuts or bolts to fit the Wheel Spacer onto the vehicles hub. You then use the vehicles original nuts or bolts to bolt the wheel onto the spacer. Read the above bullet points referencing cleaning the wheel hubs prior to fitting.
8. With the Stance+ System B+ Bolt-On Wheel Spacers, for vehicles with hub studs, make sure the hub studs do not protrude the thickness of the spacer, if this is the case you must make sure the wheel has a recess or pocket to allow the studs to sit into.
9. With Stance+ System B+ Bolt-On Wheel Spacers, for vehicles with bolts, make sure that once the original wheel bolt passes through the wheel into the spacer it does not protrude through the back of the spacer.
10. IMPORTANT: We regret we cannot accept back for exchange or refund any Stance+ Wheel Spacers or Stance+ PCD Adapters that have been supplied correctly BUT have been test fitted or damaged. Fitted parts cannot be returned or refunded.
