Are lug adapters good?
Wheel adapters are not designed to handle hard cornering or heavy hauling and they may fail under these circumstances. Since these accessories also alter the way a vehicle handles, they can be extremely dangerous for inexperienced drivers or those operating their vehicles at highway speeds.
What is the difference between a wheel spacer and adapter?
Most wheel spacers bolt onto a truck’s axles or hubs, and include studs that wheels are mounted on. Adapters, on the other hand, also have studs, but they’re arranged in a different bolt pattern.
Are dually spacers safe?
The recommended minimum spacer size between the rear dually tires is 1/2″ (1.27cm). This will be safe at maximum load capacity and will prevent any small debris from getting lodged between the rear tires which could result in premature wear and punctures.
How thin can a wheel adapter be?
The thinnest possible hub centric wheel adapter we build for safety is 1″ thick. Adapters can be made thicker to account for offset. Thus, a thicker adapter will push the wheels out further.
How much gap should be between dually tires?
It’s widely agreed by many dually owners that the 1/2″ spacer is sufficient enough, as long as the tires aren’t too wide and they do not make contact on constant travel, or they are too close to allow debris and rocks to get jammed in-between the tires.
Do wheel spacers hurt bearings?
That said, wheel spacers affect suspension geometry, and will change the scrub radius, affecting braking stability, and also reduce the effective spring rate at the wheels. Wheel spacers can also cause wheel bearing failure.
How often should you rotate tires on a dually?
every 10,000 miles
