hey guys i came across these on ebay and im not real sure why or what the reason would be for using spacers this wide and would it strain the wheel bearings more.. i think they would so just curious thanks

- Wheel spacers move the wheel out from the hub, effectively widening the stance of the vehicle and lowering its roll center.

- This simple modification increases lateral stability, which in turn provides improved handling & greater safety.

yeah wheel spacers are good if you get the right ones. its only about a 2 inch spacer. the 50 mm makes it seem a LOT greater then it actually is. ive seen 5 inch spacers before. now who needs those?

ive just never seen them befor it makes since if your running wide tires and you have a little rubbing goin on but i thought it put alot of extra stress on the bearings and axels

yeah it putts some extra wear on them but it also helps with wheels that have a low back spacing too. theres a guy around my house who has a long travel tacoma. he has 2" spacers and he takes them off before he goes to the desert just cause he likes to go fast and dosent want them to break his studs.
