Fitted by Assetti Performance

Wheel spacers are a simple yet highly effective upgrade for the Land Rover Defender, helping improve stance, clearance and overall road presence. At Assetti Performance, we specialise in the professional installation of wheel spacers, ensuring they are fitted correctly, safely and suited to your specific Defender setup.

Improving stance and presence

From the factory, many Defenders sit with the wheels slightly tucked inside the arches. Correctly installed wheel spacers push the wheels outward, giving a wider, more purposeful stance that better fills the arches and enhances the vehicle’s overall look.

Correcting wheel fitment

Aftermarket wheels often vary in offset and width, which can affect how they sit on the vehicle. Wheel spacers allow us to fine-tune the final position of the wheel, ensuring it sits correctly without compromising suspension or steering components.

Enhanced stability

By slightly increasing the track width, wheel spacers can improve the Defender’s planted feel on the road. While subtle, the added stability complements wider wheels and tyres well.

Clearance and safety checks

When installing wheel spacers, our technicians carry out full clearance checks — including brakes, suspension and steering at full lock. This ensures smooth, vibration-free driving and avoids rubbing or unwanted contact during everyday use.

Professional installation is essential

• Wheel spacers must be fitted properly to be safe and reliable. At Assetti Performance, all spacer installations are:
• Inspected after fitment for peace of mind
• Hub-centric for precise wheel alignment
• Installed using the correct bolts or studs
• Torqued to manufacturer specifications
