The VPG 50 Spacer is a CNC-machined 6061 aluminium wheel spacer weighing just 50 g for sim racing, compatible with 50.8 and 70 mm PCD quick releases, designed for setups with high-torque direct drive wheelbases.
Made by VPG Sim with a hard black anodised finish and geometry optimised through finite element analysis (FEA), it brings the wheel closer to the driver and adds a solid mounting point between the wheel and the quick release, without compromising stiffness or adding noticeable weight to the rotating assembly.
Key features of the VPG 50 Spacer
- 6061 aluminium body, CNC-machined with a wear-resistant hard black anodised finish.
- Just 50 g to minimise added inertia on high-torque direct drive wheelbases.
- Geometry validated by FEA against torsion, bending and high loads.
- Rear 50.8 mm mounting pattern (through-holes) and front M5 threads at 50.8 mm.
- Includes a 6 mm carbon fibre adapter plate for 70 mm PCD quick releases.
- Compatible with any 50.8 mm or 70 mm PCD QR; countersinks and chamfers ease fitting in tight cockpits.

Frequently asked questions
Is the VPG 50 Spacer compatible with 70 mm PCD quick releases?
Yes. It mounts on a 50.8 mm pattern as standard and, with the included 6 mm carbon fibre adapter plate, it is compatible with 70 mm PCD quick releases.
How much does it weigh and what is it made of?
It weighs just 50 g and is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium with a hard black anodised finish, for maximum strength with minimal added inertia.
Is it suitable for high-torque direct drive wheelbases?
Yes. Its geometry has been validated with finite element analysis (FEA) to withstand torsion, bending and high loads, making it suitable for high-torque direct drive wheelbases.
