Land Rover Wheel Spacer FAQ
Are Land Rover wheel spacers safe for off-road use?
Yes. Our hubcentric Land Rover wheel spacers are designed for the extra stresses of off-road driving. Each spacer locates precisely on the hub—typically 70.1 mm or 72.6 mm—so weight is distributed through the hub face, not the studs. The result is a secure and vibration-free fit even during heavy articulation or rough terrain.
Which Land Rover and Range Rover models do your spacers fit?
We manufacture spacers for the Defender (L663 and classic), Discovery 3, 4, and 5, Range Rover P38A, L322, L405, Range Rover Sport L320 and L494, plus Freelander, Evoque, and Velar. Most use a 5×120 PCD with 70.1 mm or 72.6 mm centre bore. Every kit is CNC-machined to the exact dimensions of your specific model.
Do wheel spacers improve off-road performance?
Yes — increasing the track width with hubcentric spacers improves lateral stability on uneven ground and enhances grip during cornering or side-slope driving. Many Defender and Discovery owners use spacers to clear larger tyres, improve approach angles, and widen stance for better control off road.
Will wheel spacers affect road handling?
Properly installed spacers enhance both off-road and on-road stability. On tarmac, they reduce body roll and improve cornering confidence, especially for taller SUVs like the Range Rover or Discovery. They also create a flush, planted look that complements wider wheels or lift kits.
How do I install Land Rover wheel spacers?
Remove the wheel, clean the hub surface, seat the spacer flat against the hub, and refit using the supplied high-tensile extended bolts. Always torque to factory settings and re-check after 50–100 miles of driving. Full instructions can be found in our wheel spacer fitment guide.
Are your Land Rover spacers legal in the UK?
Yes. All Brightstone Engineering Land Rover spacers are UK road legal when correctly fitted. Each part is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6082-T6 aluminium, anodised for corrosion protection, and individually inspected to meet or exceed OEM strength and safety standards.
Which spacer thickness should I choose?
For most Land Rover models, 20 mm–30 mm spacers strike the right balance between stance and clearance. Off-road builds or vehicles running all-terrain tyres may require 35 mm spacers for extra wheel-arch clearance. Refer to our fitment guide before ordering.
What are your spacers made from?
We use only 6082-T6 aluminium, known for its high strength and resistance to fatigue — ideal for vehicles exposed to mud, water, and salt. Every spacer is black anodised to protect against corrosion and maintain appearance even after years of off-road use.
Do the kits include bolts?
Yes. All Land Rover spacer kits come complete with high-tensile extended bolts or pressed-in studs, depending on model. The hardware is zinc-plated for rust resistance and matched to OEM thread pitch for perfect engagement.
Can you make custom Land Rover spacers?
Yes. We can produce custom Land Rover spacers or PCD adapters for unique builds, axle swaps, or off-road projects. Whether you need thicker spacers for oversized tyres or adapters to convert to a new bolt pattern, we can machine them to your specifications in the UK.
Every Brightstone Engineering Land Rover spacer is CNC-machined in the UK, anodised for durability, and built to handle rugged off-road conditions while enhancing road presence — all backed by our lifetime guarantee.
