How to tell if your wheel spacers properly fit against your wheels? A simple sheet of paper can reveal a lot.

That was pretty informative, but IMO, too much talking, not enough footage of wheels flying off on the racetrack.

Great short to the point video, that's not something I've done in the past but will start doing.

Thanks!

Just for you, I'll relay that to James and his team.

No wheel spacer involved, but here's one for you.

That was a very informative and timely video.  I've used spacers with and without the snout and always make sure they fit flat. With an aluminum wheel (spacer or not) there should be very little rotation of the lug nuts between "just snug" and "fully torqued".  Steel wheels are another story...., ;-)

Yes. It wasn't a two-piece before.
