Wheel Adapters are used to change bolt patterns in order to properly fit wheels from one vehicle to the hub of a different vehicle. Wheel Adapters can also be used to adapt or fit aftermarket wheels meant for a different vehicle. Another common use would be adapting aftermarket or stock wheels to a trailer. For example Wrangler wheels to an M military trailer. Wheel adapters can be safely used to space wheels away from a vehicle on which the pattern matches the wheel, but insufficient space exists to mount the wheel.
The adapter is bolted to the vehicle first, with special countersunk lug nuts. The wheel is then bolted to the adapter as if it were the original hub. Wheel adapters always change wheel geometry. Due to the way in which they are installed, they cause the vehicles footprint, or stance, to become wider. This changes the alignment geometry and front-wheel alignment must be performed to ensure proper steering and cornering.
Front-wheel-drive cars require the rear alignment to be corrected as well. Wheel adapters should not be used in load hauling situations, such as on pickup trucks. This can be important on a truck or SUV with a high center of gravity.
The farther away from the center of a vehicle the wheels are placed, the less likely the vehicle will be to roll over. Adding wheel spacers to your vehicle may be necessary for upgraded component fitment such as brakes or suspension.
Fitting larger or even different brakes to your vehicle may cause clearance issues with your stock wheels. This may also cause damage to both your new brakes and wheels. Suspension upgrades may also cause the same types of issues. Lifted pickup trucks are prime candidates for wheel spacers, because a lift kit or some sort of other suspension enhancement may cause tire or wheel rubbing.
Likewise, fitting a wider tire and wheel on a car for a larger contact patch may improve handling, but may also cause the wheel or tire to rub against wheel assembly components.
Spacers can allow for wheel assembly components and your brake or suspension upgrades to remain intact by moving the wheels away from your upgraded components. Brake, wheel, and suspension upgrades can be expensive.
If any of these upgrades are incorrectly calculated, and you find that any type of fitment issue arises, wheel spacers can provide an inexpensive remedy. Any kind of aftermarket parts you could add to your vehicle always pose the risk of incorrect fitment. Just because an aftermarket part says it fits your vehicle, this does not always guarantee it.
This is especially true with aftermarket wheels. Rather than spend thousands of dollars more on different wheels, spacers can correct this issue at a fraction of the cost. Just as wheel adapters have their own set of benefits, there are almost as many reasons to avoid them, and there are just as many experts who advise against them as there are those who advocate for them.
Possibly the main downside to wheel spacers is safety concerns. Every component fitted to your vehicle can pose a safety issue if it is not fitted or installed correctly, but wheel spacers that are not correctly installed can have far greater consequences than many other parts.
This not only makes them easier to install and remove, it also helps prevent rust and corrosion. A thru-axle uses a much larger diameter rod that is threaded into the frame to hold the wheel in place.
There are two primary sizes which are 12mm and 15mm. You can see an axle that accepts thru-axles below. Incorrect quick-release use is dangerous because these mechanisms hold the wheels in place. The most common mistake is simply turning the lever like a wing nut until the wheel seems tight. Used this way the lever and wheel can loosen as you ride and can come off unexpectedly. Bicycle wheel quick releases make it easy to remove wheels without tools.
The wheel can actually come loose and even fall off in a worst case. Convert your existing 15mm Thru Axle Hub to a standard 5mm Quick Release Skewer to fit standard dropout 9mm x mm forks. No tools required for installation.
