Hi has anyone fitted wheel spacers on their Sorento, Just wondered what the benefits are? Do you notice any better road holding, cornering for example or are they just for looks?

Plus what size spacers are best to use?

Cheers Mark

I fitted spacers to my 04 Xs, what a transformation, aided by the new Bridgedstones the cornering is so much better with less body roll and straight line is smoother.
Also cosmetically it brought my tyres/wheels level with the body....some pics;

I fitted 30mm per wheel..60mm axle...on your model i think the max you can fit with bigger than 16 wheels is 20mm per wheel..40mm axle

Thanks for the photos, looks good. My car has 16" wheels so am i right in thinking 30mm spacers per wheel would be fine and bring the wheels out inline with the bodywork. Also would i need the tracking doing after spacer fitment.

Hi Mark,
Yes the 30mm would bring it the same as mine...i did not have to get it tracked, although i changed my tyres the same time to Bridgestone Duellers H/P
