Automotive wheel spacers designed to increase clearance and improve handling for compatible cars. GEARCELL Wheel Spacers promise a hub-centric fit and corrosion-resistant construction that helps VW Golf owners fit wider wheels without rubbing. Are they the right upgrade for your Golf?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Fit and Stability: Hub-centric 72.6mm lip reduces wobble and improves road holding
- • Best for: VW Golf owners needing extra clearance for wider wheels and to avoid caliper or shock contact
- • Not ideal for: Vehicles without a 5x100/5x112 bolt pattern or hubs smaller than 57.1mm
Four CNC-machined aluminium spacers supplied in 15mm and 20mm thickness, with 20 M14x1.5 bolts. Designed for 5x100mm and 5x112mm fitment with a 57.1mm hub bore.
Clearance and Improved Handling – With hub-centric 72.6mm lip and 15/20mm thickness
Hub-centric lip centres wheels on the hub, transferring load through the hub rather than the studs and reducing lateral play. Two thickness options move the wheel outward by 15mm or 20mm to prevent contact with calipers or suspension components.
More clearance prevents rubbing against brake calipers or shock absorbers, allowing safer fitment of wider rims and tyres. Expect crisper steering feedback and reduced risk of vibration when fitment checks are correct.
Durable Corrosion Resistance – Thanks to aircraft-grade billet aluminium and anodising
Spacers are CNC-machined from aircraft-grade billet aluminium with an anodised finish to limit surface corrosion. Wheel studs are metric 10.9 cold-forged steel with zinc plating and an additional heat treatment for strength.
Robust materials and protective finishes reduce corrosion and maintain clamping integrity over time. Reliability under repeated wheel changes and road exposure is improved compared with lower-grade alternatives.
Straightforward Fitment Kit – With M14x1.5 bolts and common bolt patterns
Kit contains four spacers and 20 M14x1.5 wheel bolts sized at 40mm and 45mm lengths, compatible with 5x100mm and 5x112mm bolt circles and a 57.1mm hub bore. Fitment guidance highlights the need for tapered-stud-compatible wheels and sufficient fender clearance.
Complete hardware simplifies installation for compatible cars and reduces the need to source bolts separately. Essential pre-checks include confirming hub bore size and that wheels accept tapered studs.
