Lets zoom and enhance:

Two 3" spacers stacked...

This is how we die.

Bro, I saw a guy do it on YouTube. It’s good.

I’ve done or facilitated some sketchy stuff with wheels. I’ve made and used wobble bolts to fit Japanese bolt-pattern wheels to German cars. I’ve made bolt-on spacers (1-inch), and I’ve bored out the center of BBS mesh wheels so they’d fit an old Mercedes center bore.

but this? This is suicide.

I was behind a truck like this the other day... when your brake discs are completely inboard of your wheels, you are asking for trouble. I got as far away as I could.

The front end was a whole mess of competing bad ideas and cheap walmart parts as well.

This is good for your wheel bearings.

I’ll never understand wheel spacers.

That’s a design feature, not a flaw.

No, really. Inboard brakes are designed into some cars.

I unterstand them, in certain situations a small set is perfectly fine (1/4" or less) but 6" of spacers is just suicide.

Angular torque on a bearing is great, just keep extending the lever /s

Wow. I’ll have to start looking for that “technique,” because that is freaking insane.

Oh yeah. A lot of 80's Alfas used them and one of the more famous ones if the Hummer H1 (done I believe to fit bigger brakes than they could in the small wheels needed to keep big side walls for going off road). But when they are supposed to be covered by the wheels and then aren’t you are bro’ing too hard. Maybe we should make a post about inboard brakes. Would be interesting to see what oddities the Oppo hive mind would come up with.

It’ll be fun watch the wheel bolts snap.
