What are Wheel Spacers for?
Recently, I saw the Eibach Pro-Spacer Kit (Hub-Centric Wheel Spacers-Pair). Can someone tell me what it is for? thanks.

They are designed to make the wheels sit out farther from the axel, basically widening the stance of the wheels. It is the cheapo way to widen your car's wheels without getting new wheels or something.
So for $30 you can widen where your wheels sit.
They are of course, much more prone to failure and they put alot more stress on the car. I do not recommend them.

They are just spacers that you put between the rim and the hub to make your wheel stance a little wider

The spacers are put between the hub and the tire rim to move it away from the vehicle so than you can put a wider or taller tire.

wheel spacers are for to set your wheels out farther from the hub so the tires won,t rub.

They just go on your bolts, to create a space between your hub and your wheel, to widen your stance/ distance between you wheels. note; they are defectable by police in some states.
