5 Stud Wheel spacers used for Suzuki Jimny, Suzuki Samurai (SJ40), Lada Vida, Ford F100 and others
You can use these wheel spacers to push out the wheel a bit. Some people do it for the looks and others use wheel spacers because they fit new rims and the new rims catches the calipers.
Have a look at http://www.wheel-size.com/size/ to see what size spacer your vehicle use.
NOTE: Price is per spacer!
The wheels spacer bolts onto the vehicle on the existing studs with the nuts supplied. Your wheel then bolts onto the wheel spacer using the studs on the wheel spacer and your original nuts.
- Wheel spacer material ALUMINUM
- Stud – 12×1.25mm – high tensile 10.9 grade

NOTE: On the Ford F100 the stud thread pitch differs from that of the spacers. You will use the original Ford nuts to attach the spacer to the vehicle and use the supplied nuts to attach the wheels to the spacer.
Notes: Please read full fitment instructions here:

Make sure the surface on the vehicle hub is clean and free from any debris before fitment.
The same applies to the back of the wheel spacer which should be clean.
Tighten all nuts by hand first, then torque in cross over sequence to 30 Nm. Then Torque to 110Nm.
When you have them fitted at a tyre fitment centre, keep an eye on the procedures because they normally tighten it with impact wrench. DO NOT allow them to use an impact wrench and make sure they tighten them in cross over sequence.
Check the wheel spacer nuts after the first 500 km to make sure they are tight. Thereafter check every 5000km.
* The use of thread locker will void the warranty of these wheel spacers
Reason: How do you frequently check the torque if you used thread locker?
