are 1 inch wheel spacers safe?

No, wheel spacers are perfectly safe if installed properly and on the proper application. The most common cause for failures is not due to the actual wheel spacers but install issues; incorrect hub bore (wheel to spacer or spacer to hub), incorrect torque value on wheel bolts or lug nuts, etc.

No, just make sure you take them off in the winter. The open ends will allow salt to get in and cause corrosion and you could end up with seized lugs and snapping studs.

No. The load from a wheel is transferred to the axle/hub through the friction of the clamped joint, not through the wheel stud. A wheel stud can only bend if the lug nuts are not properly torqued, in which case the wheel is about to fall off, anyway. ... Therefore, properly installed wheel spacers are perfectly safe.

They are typically made of aluminum or steel and are available in a large array of sizes and types to fit most wheels to most automobiles. As long as the change is not drastic and weight and size limits are observed, wheel adapters can be safely used.

Wheel adapters can be safely used to space wheels away from a vehicle on which the pattern matches the wheel, but insufficient space exists to mount the wheel. The adapter is bolted to the vehicle first, with special countersunk lug nuts. The wheel is then bolted to the adapter as if it were the original hub.

The thread engagement on all wheel studs to the lug nut, or lug bolts to wheel hubs, must be equivalent to or greater than the diameter of the stud/bolt. Length of the stud/bolt does not determine permissibility. ... No stacking of wheel spacers allowed.

If the tyre tread has become level with the top of the wear indicator, it means your tyres have reached the legal limit of 1.6mm.

Spacers allow a larger wheel and tire to be fitted without rubbing by creating clearance to interior wheel well components. ... Sometimes by moving the wheel and tire assembly outward from the hub, interior clearance is gained, but rubbing can then occur on the vehicle fender and/or wheel well liner.

These wheels are lug centric. standard acorn style lugs dont always center the hole in the wheel over the lug well.

You will only need spigot rings to fill the gap between the OE hub diameter and the aftermarket alloy's center bore. That said, using a PCD variation bolt in this circumstance will not have any adverse effect and is perfectly safe.

4.75" = 120.65mm, not 120mm. Although the BMW (and Pontiac GTO/G8) stud pattern is close enough to allow the wheels to fit, it's not close enough for a safe fit. Eventually the studs will break and you will be overtaken by your own wheel.

As they said wheel spacers you just jack up the wrangler, take the wheel off and then bolt on the spacer. Its easy, and straight forward. If you end up bringing it to a shop, they are going to charge you top price for the parts, and then labor. Depending on the shop, it can be anywhere from $200-$400 in labor.

The real purpose of extended studs is so u can run rims with spacers and still have enough stud to be caught by ur lug nut. Drag racers have extended studs as they're required by most tracks if u r running lensos/bogarts/welds.

As a general rule, 4x100 wheels will all interchange. Your only concern will be the offset. They're all 57.1 center bore.

A very tasty combination for the MGB is a +1 package of a 15” splinedrive wheel and a 185/65-15 tire. This will clear on most cars; the larger 195/60-15 will likely rub under hard cornering.

All tyres should be above the legal minimum tread of 1.6mm across three quarters of the tyre. ... Make sure the tyre size is the same for the rear and front tyres. Although a spare wheel is not a requirement for an MOT check - a 'space saver' spare fitted as a road wheel will not pass.
