H&R Wheel Spacers

H&R wheel spacers push your wheels out to the fender line for a wider, more aggressive stance and to clear big brake kits or suspension components. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and hubcentric by design, they're the spacer motorsport builders and OEM tuners actually trust.

Hubcentric Wheel Spacers Done Right

The word that matters with spacers is hubcentric. H&R spacers locate on the hub bore, so the wheel centers on the hub exactly the way the factory intended, not on the studs. That's what keeps the wheel running true and free of vibration, and it's the difference between a spacer you can trust at speed and one you can feel through the wheel.

Every spacer is CNC-machined from high-strength aircraft-grade aluminum and TÜV-tested to German standards. The tolerances are tight enough that the wheel seats flush and balanced, whether you're gaining clearance for a brake upgrade or dialing in the perfect flush fitment.

DR vs DRA: Choosing the Right H&R Spacer

H&R's DR series are the thinner bolt-on spacers. They use your existing studs or bolts and are ideal for smaller widths where you just need to nudge the wheel out. The DRA and DRM series are thicker and include pressed-in extended studs, so the longer wheel bolts get full thread engagement even at greater spacer widths. Picking the correct series for your thickness is what keeps the install safe.

Getting Wheel Spacer Fitment Right

The right thickness comes down to your wheel offset, the gap to the fender, and clearance at full steering lock and full suspension compression. Measure before you buy, and leave room so the tire doesn't rub. After installation, always torque to spec and re-torque after your first drive.

If you want to change bolt pattern or hub diameter instead of just adding width, look at our H&R wheel adapters instead. Not sure which setup fits your car and how you drive it?

FAQs

Are H&R wheel spacers hubcentric?

Yes. H&R spacers are hubcentric, meaning they locate precisely on the vehicle's hub bore so the wheel is centered on the hub, not on the studs. That eliminates vibration and keeps the wheel running true, which is why H&R spacers are trusted for street and track use.

What's the difference between H&R DR and DRA spacers?

DR (Delrin/bolt-on) spacers are thinner and use your existing wheel studs or bolts, so no hardware changes are needed. DRA spacers are thicker and come with pressed-in extended studs, giving the longer wheel bolts enough thread engagement for a safe, secure fit at greater widths.

How do I know what thickness spacer I need?

It depends on how much clearance you're trying to gain, your wheel offset, and fender clearance. Measure the gap between your tire and the fender or suspension, then pick a thickness that fills it without causing rubbing at full lock or full compression. Contact us with your setup if you're unsure.

Are H&R wheel spacers safe?

Yes, when sized and installed correctly. H&R spacers are TÜV-tested, machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, and hubcentric for precise centering. Always torque the hardware to spec, verify adequate stud thread engagement, and re-torque after the first drive.

Will wheel spacers affect my ride or handling?

Spacers widen the track, which can slightly sharpen steering response and improve stability. They also change the scrub radius and add leverage on wheel bearings, so staying within a sensible thickness for your vehicle keeps everything within safe limits.

Do H&R spacers fit my car's bolt pattern?

H&R makes spacers for a huge range of bolt patterns, center bores, and stud configurations. Each listing specifies the fitment. If you need to change bolt pattern or hub size entirely, you want a wheel adapter rather than a spacer.
