Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel spacers

Video tutorial

In this video we talk about spacers: what they are used for and if installing them brings any benefits. Supercars are usually low and wide, this is because the cars with a favorable ratio between ground clearance and width will have greater stability.

Spacers are used to widen the track, by mounting them between the car hub and the wheel. However, the legality of spacers is a rather complex issue: there is no absolute prohibition, but there are limits.

Spacers must be approved, and the widening of the track cannot exceed the vehicle's silhouette in any case, as the youtuber also mentions in the video.
