Black Wheel Spacers and Shims – Design and Performance in Perfect Balance
Widening the wheel track isn't just a cosmetic change: it significantly improves the vehicle's stability, road holding, and dynamic response. Black wheel spacers are one of the most effective and refined solutions for achieving a sportier, more precise, and safer setup, while maintaining an aggressive, meticulously detailed style.
High-end Technology and Materials
Simoni Racing black wheel spacers are made exclusively from Ergal 7075-O or Ergal 7075-T6, a high-strength aluminum alloy, and are treated with a black anodized antioxidant to ensure protection, durability, and a racing aesthetic. The black color isn't just an aesthetic choice: it protects the material from wear and corrosion, maintaining its functional and visual characteristics over time.
What are Wheel Spacers?
Wheel spacers are aluminum shims that are mounted between the wheel hub and the rim. They move the wheels outward, widening the track and giving the car a sportier look. But it's not just about aesthetics: the wider support base improves cornering grip, stability, and steering precision.
How to choose the right size
Place the car on a perfectly level surface.
Measure the space between the fender and the tire shoulder (on all four wheels).
Leave a small safety margin (at least 3-5 mm) to avoid contact.
Check:
Rim drilling pattern (PCD)
Center hub diameter
Hub seat depth
Original bolt head type (conical or spherical)
Visual and functional effect
The size chosen will directly influence the "wow" effect: the greater the thickness, the greater the aesthetic impact and the improvement in handling. Spacers are also useful for resolving technical issues, such as contact between rims, brake calipers, or suspension.
Fitment and compatibility
⚠️ Spacers are NOT universal.
Each model has a specific application list based on the make, model, and version of the vehicle. It is essential to choose the right kit to avoid incompatibilities.
How do I know if they are incorrect?
The spacer does not fit into the hub
It does not reach the stop
The centering is forced
In these cases, driving is prohibited, as there is a risk of serious damage to the hub and rim.
Let's dispel a myth: wheel spacers don't ruin your car.
When properly installed and chosen according to vehicle specifications, wheel spacers do not alter suspension geometry, compromise wheel balance, or change the turning radius.
Step-by-step installation
Park the car on a level surface.
Raise the car with a jack on a secure lifting point.
Remove the wheel.
Clean the hub thoroughly with fine sandpaper and degreaser.
Install the wheel spacer, aligning the holes perfectly.
Reinstall the wheel using the bolts provided with the kit.
Repeat on all four wheels.
