    OK thanks anyway! I have a 2023 MYLR that I just installed lowering springs/shocks on and just wanted to double check what 20mm fitment will look like 😀

    You’ll want to remove the wheels after a couple days and retorque the nuts on the spacer. Same for the fasteners to the wheels. They’ll loosen up a tad after driving.

      Supersonic, you bring up a great point so thank you for your input. Yes, check your torque values 50-100miles of driving.

      No you don’t if you use Loctite

      @@sa.t.2507 you should not be using Loctite on ANY spacer setup. The most crucial element, is to use quality nuts and torque them down correctly. They will not back out. If nuts backing out was an issue, OEM manufacturers would request that you use Loctite on their OEM rims/tires setup.

      @@TheAutomotiveFanatic not true with spacers. Your wheels are planned to be swapped because of seasons or tire swapping, thus it is planned that the nuts will be torqued again and checked. The nuts that holds the spacers are planned to sit there more or less permanently. That’s why you add some Loctite in order to make sure that they always stay tight without checking them.

    Idk if this is true but I’ve heard that putting wheel spacers can damage your wheel bearing? What are your thoughts? Thanks again.

      Lincoln, I have heard both sides of the story. IMHO, if you have proper spacers with hub-centric rings, and...do not go too wide, your bearings should be fine.

      I'm sorry Tom, it was installed on a client's vehicle so I do not have easy access to take photos.

    Is there a difference in year ? I have a 2024 model Y performance, I think the tires size is the same as a 2023

      From what I have seen, there were no changes on the 24' MYLR so these will fit.

    Which mm to get to have it sit flush with the fender on the performance model staggered rims? 18mm, 20mm, or 25mm

      @TheAutomotiveFanatic  5 месяцев назад

      I assume you own the newer MP3 with the 235/35/20 & 275/30/20 tire set up. If so, I would go 15mm all around.

    The diameter of the spacer is much smaller than the rotor surface. There's much less contact now with the wheel; not good

      Thank you Henry for your comment. As intuitive as your comment is on the spacers, it's not necessarily true. Almost every spacers on the market for the 3/Y do not match the size of the hub. What I find as being MOST important though, would be to have hubcentric spacers with the highest quality studs (12.9). If the spacers have both of these factors, you should be safe.
