EIBACH Pro Spacers / H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers

Alloy wheel spacers are available for 10mm - 90mm track widening per axle. TRAK+ wheel spacers are made from a proprietary aluminium/magnesium alloy which is not only incredibly strong, but also very light (up to 70% lighter than a comparable steel product) to minimize unsprung weight. TRAK+ wheel spacers are then hard anodized to ensure a tough, durable finish that is resistant to chipping, scratching and oxidation. Like all of Eibach and H&R’s street-engineered products, Eibach and H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers are certified by the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV). Eibach and H&R also have the right wheel bolts or nuts to install TRAK+ wheel spacers on most cars, with original or aftermarket wheels. What EBAICH Pro Spacers and H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers Do: Eibach Pro Spacers and H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers move the wheel out from the hub, effectively widening the stance of the vehicle and lowering its roll centre. This simple modification increases lateral stability, which in turn provides improved handling, greater safety and of course, the sleek style you’ve been looking for. Depending on vehicle make and model they are available for most domestic and imported automobiles. Wheel spacers are also used when a cars such as: Mitsubitsu 3000GT / GTO, Peugeot 406's or some Alfa Romeo's (to name a few) have upgraded brakes, and want to fit aftermarket alloy wheels on, but the larger brake callipers prevents this by coming into contact with the alloy wheel. Other customers of ours needs wheel spacers when they have used brake upgrade kits such as Brembo products. As our fully trained staff deal with such issues on a day to day basis we have unique expert knowledge in this area, unlike other companies who sell wheel spacers. Make sure you deal with a professional knowledgeable company when purchasing alloy wheel spacers.

Unlike other other universal alloy wheel spacers, Eibach Pro Spacers and H&R alloy wheel spacers are car specific, they have been designed and tested for use on individual cars and have been certified by the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV) for usage on the widest range of cars. They are made to the highest quality and standards in Germany.

Eibach Pro Spacers and H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers are made from a proprietary aluminium/magnesium alloy which is not only incredibly strong, but also very light (up to 70% lighter than a comparable steel product) to minimize unsprung weight. TRAK+ wheel spacers are then hard anodized to ensure a tough, durable finish that is resistant to chipping, scratching and oxidation.

Eibach and H&R offer four main types of alloy wheel spacers: DR, DRA, DRS and DRM. All the spacers can be fitted easily, however the DRS kit will require the hubs to be taken off the car to remove the existing wheel studs and replace them with the extended wheel studs which are supplied. If you decide to use this kit we would recommend you use a professionally trained mechanic to undertake this work. In certain circumstances it is worth getting the DRM kit, as this removes the need to replace the studs, as the wheel spacer is in fact bolted onto your hub with the use of special slim line nuts. This enables the alloy wheel to be bolted to the spacer to ensure maximum safety and security. Please find details of the four main types of alloy wheel spacers below:

How To Order Alloy Wheel Spacers

If you wish to order alloy wheels spacers from us please give us a call to go over your options. Before you call us to order we would recommend that you try on your alloy wheel to see how thick you need your alloy wheel spacers to be, in order to achieve what you require.

How To Measure Clearance For Larger Brake Callipers

If you are fitting alloy wheel spacers to ensure clearance from upgraded or larger brake callipers such as Brembo, we recommend that you use washers on your studs (if your car has studs) to simulate the thickness of the spacer you require.

When you have enough washers to simulate the calliper clearance you require, measure the thickness of these washers as this will be a guide as to the thickness of the wheel spacer you require.

This method will help to ensure that the wheel spacer thickness you require is not to much. On Average a 3mm space from the back of an alloy wheel spoke and the calliper would be the minimum clearance.

How To Check What Thickness of Wheel Spacer I Can Use

In the diagram on the right, you can see how we recommend that you measure the available space which you have in order to bring your alloy wheel and tyre in line with your mudguard. In normal use, you would want to ensure that your wheel and tyre is in line with your mudguard, i.e. that your wheels and tyres do not stick out further than the widest point of your mudguard.

Most alloy wheel spacers are available in 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm thickness. In some instances other thicknesses are available.

Getting The Correct Bolts For Your DR System Alloy Wheel Spacer

Our Experts will ensure that if you are fitting wheel spacers from the DR range of wheel spacers (which require longer Bolts) that your wheel spacer is supplied with the correct length bolts for your new setup. It is important to let us know if you have aftermarket wheels or O.E ( Original Equipment) wheels on your car / SUV when ordering. This helps us to ensure that you receive the correct bolts for your application.

If you are unsure of anything please call us, as out knowledgeable staff will be happy to go over your options and ensure that you get the correct wheel spacer.
