Installing the ‪@PERRINPerformance‬ 20mm Hub-centric Wheel Spacers on my 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness. The wheel spacers eliminated the muffin top look and gave it that desired aggressive stance. Install was a breeze and it turned out great!

@ronfromportland Жыл бұрын

No, the spacers are just adding 20mm of space to the existing wheel. 20mm offset wheels are entirely different.

@acornhook 3 ай бұрын

The equation for spacers always has to account for the offset of the wheels attached. For example, the OBW factory wheel offset is 48mm, meaning the hub is fixed 48mm away from the center of the wheel (0mm offset) toward the outer rim of the wheel. This means the rim and tire are being moved inward toward the center of the car. Adding a 20mm spacer in effect pushes the hub (rim and tire) placement outward as if the hub inset (distance between the outer rim and hub) were being reduced inward toward the center of the wheel. Therefore, 20mm spacers give the same inset and poke (in relation to the tire and rim's position) as a 28mm offset wheel (48-20=28). If you want the equivalent positioning of 20mm offset wheels, you would need 28mm spacers.

Mine has 1400 miles and I was gutted when I found oil leaking from the lower oil pan. I guess the 20-22 Outbacks with the turbo motors are prone to having leaking oil pans due to a seal failure. Not sure if the 23 OBWs are the same but it wouldn’t hurt to check around that area. I’ll eventually do a follow up video on this because it’s unacceptable! Taking mine back to the dealer soon.
