.250in Wheel Spacer Alum Wide 5

The .250in Wheel Spacer Alum Wide 5 from Allstar Performance is a precision-engineered aluminum spacer designed for classic and vintage vehicles equipped with Wide 5 bolt patterns, particularly common in hot rods, circle track racing, and muscle car restorations. This spacer sits between your wheel hub and wheel rim, pushing the wheel outward to achieve a wider stance or to clear suspension components and brake calipers. For mechanics and enthusiasts working on vehicle geometry and fitment, proper wheel spacers are essential for maintaining safe bearing preload, correct brake function, and optimal handling characteristics.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum alloy, the .250in Wheel Spacer Alum Wide 5 provides a quarter-inch offset without adding significant unsprung weight—a critical consideration in performance applications where rotational mass affects acceleration and suspension response. The Wide 5 bolt pattern (5x4.75 inches) was the standard for American muscle cars and hot rods throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and this spacer maintains compatibility with original and modern reproduction wheels using that specification. Aluminum construction resists corrosion better than steel while offering the rigidity necessary to safely distribute wheel loads across all five lugs under road and track conditions.

This spacer is ideal for builders working on classic Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick platforms, as well as racers preparing circle track or drag cars where precise wheel positioning improves weight distribution and tire contact. Installation requires removing the wheel, sliding the spacer onto the hub studs, and re-torquing lugs to factory specifications—a straightforward procedure that fits into any suspension or brake upgrade workflow. Always verify that your studs are long enough to accommodate the additional quarter-inch thickness and maintain proper lug engagement depth for safety-critical fastening.
