Wide 5 Wheel Spacer 1/2in Aluminum

The Wide 5 Wheel Spacer 1/2in Aluminum from WEHRS MACHINE is a precision-engineered component designed for classic and vintage hot rods, race cars, and custom vehicles that use the Wide 5 bolt pattern. This spacer increases track width by half an inch per wheel, which translates to one full inch of additional stance width across the axle. Whether you're dialing in weight distribution on a circle-track racer, optimizing handling geometry on a street rod, or simply achieving the aggressive flush fitment look, a quality wheel spacer is fundamental to modern vehicle modification.

Manufactured from aluminum alloy, this Wide 5 Wheel Spacer delivers lightweight construction without sacrificing structural integrity—critical for rotational components where unsprung weight directly impacts suspension response and braking performance. The 1/2-inch thickness is calculated to maintain proper hub geometry while providing measurable track-width adjustment; thinner spacers risk compromising bolt clamping force, while excessive thickness can interfere with brake clearance or suspension travel. WEHRS MACHINE is recognized among circle-track and vintage drag racing communities for precision manufacturing tolerances that ensure consistent fitment, proper load distribution across all five lug studs, and elimination of wobble or run-out that can cause vibration at highway speeds.

This spacer is ideal for builders working with Wide 5 heritage platforms—including vintage Chevrolet, Ford, and Mopar drag and oval-track competition cars—as well as custom hot rods that have been retrofitted with Wide 5 wheels. Installation requires only a wheel removal and re-torque sequence; no special tools or modifications to suspension geometry are necessary. Verify wheel offset and brake caliper clearance before installation, and always use quality grade-8 or better studs torqued to manufacturer specification to ensure safety and longevity under load.
