Ford Wheel Spacer Kits

Verify that all parts shown in the picture are present.

Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface. Make sure the vehicle is in park or in gear, wheels are chocked, and that the parking brake is set. Raise the side of the vehicle that you will be working on and support the frame with jack stands.

Remove wheels.

Using a wire brush or something similar, make sure the wheel mounting surface and wheel studs are cleaned thoroughly.

Wipe with a clean shop towel.

Clean the wheel spacer mounting surface with a clean shop towel.

Apply the provided high strength thread locker to the wheel studs on the axle.

Install the wheel spacer onto the wheel studs.

Check to make sure that the factory wheel studs are not protruding past the outer mounting surface of the wheel spacer. This can sometimes happen on thinner wheel spacers depending on the vehicle.

If there is stud stickout, verify your wheels have pockets so the stud stickout won't interfere with the wheel mounting surface.

If your wheels do not have pockets that will accommodate the stud stickout, the studs will need to be trimmed to clear the wheel mounting surface.

Remove the wheel spacers and trim your wheel studs if necessary to clear the wheel mounting surface. An angle grinder with a cutoff wheel will make quick work of it, or a hacksaw can be used as well. A file can be used to deburr the edges when done.

Thread on the provided lug nuts onto the wheel studs. (Make sure red thread locker has been applied to the wheel studs first!)

Tighten the lug nuts in a star/cross pattern as shown to ensure even tightening. A pry bar can be used to prevent the wheel spacer from spinning.

Ford Bronco/Ranger (M12 studs): Torque the lug nuts to 100 lb-ft [135 N-m].

Ford F-150 (M14 studs): Torque the lug nuts to 150 lb-ft (204 Nm).

Re-install wheels and put vehicle back on the ground.

Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even tightening.

Ford Bronco/Ranger (M12 studs): Torque the lug nuts to 100 lb-ft [135 N-m].

Ford F-150 (M14 studs): Torque the lug nuts to 150 lb-ft [204 N-m].

Wheel spacers and wheel lug nuts should be checked for tightness after 50 miles and frequently checked for tightness, especially after off road use.

If thread locked wheel spacer lug nuts move when checked for tightness, they must be removed and new high strength thread locker applied before reinstalling.
