The 1.25 inch wheel spacers are wheel accessories for wheel style and performance upgrades. Whether you’re planning to use them for daily driving or off-roading needs, it is safe to use high-quality wheel spacers. By enlarging the track width, these wheel spacers enable the tires to better grip the road surface, you will feel more stable while cornering.
Proper 1.25 inch wheel spacers allow you to install bigger tires and larger brakes with no rubbing issues. Besides, these wheel spacers give your car an aggressive and rugged look. But how to install 1.25 inch wheel spacers correctly? Here are some factors to help you use them safely.
Pro Tips to Install 1.25 Inch Wheel Spacers Safely
There are several critical tips that may help you get proper installation:
Spray degreaser on the studs and use a wire brush to clean the threads. This allows the lug nuts to fasten well. If the hub is dirty, rusted, or pitted use the emery cloth to clean up the surface. Wipe down the entire hub surface, ensuring it is clean and smooth. This needs to be done thoroughly.
Test if the spacer fits your vehicle hub. Ensure that the spacer is firmly seated and flush against the hub. The REFERENCE torque spec of the 1.25 inch wheel spacers is 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts.
Tighten the lug nuts with a torque wrench in a star pattern. This should be done carefully. Double-check that all lug nuts are tightened to the manufacturer’s specification with a properly calibrated torque wrench in a crisscross, star pattern.
It is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance. By torquing each wheel bolt to the proper torque specification, your new 1.25 inch wheel spacers will safely function.
What Are the Best 1.25 Inch Wheel Spacers?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacers manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling 1.25 inch wheel spacers are built strictly to operate well in various driving condition. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Braking Performance
To further improve the heat dissipating ability, BONOSS forged active cooling 1.25 inch wheel spacers come with petal-shaped cooling grooves. These grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, so these BONOSS forged active cooling 1.25 inch wheel spacers can actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Forged Aluminum for Improved Safety
If you are looking for wheel spacers with durability and lightweight, then buying aluminum wheel spacers is the route to go. After a super forging process, the tensile strength of BONOSS forged 7075-T6 aluminum wheel spacers is up to 572 MPa. The higher the tensile strength, the more tensile stress that the wheel spacers can withstand before failure.
3. Full-cone Seat for Enhanced Stability
When it comes to bolt-on spacers, there are lug holes. BONOSS forged active cooling 1.25 inch wheel spacers come with precise full-cone lug seats. The full-cone shape allow the wheel nuts to fully contact the spacers, providing a stronger and more secure fit. This is effective to avoid any potential loosening risks.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Can 1.25 inch wheel spacers fail?
A: Reputable brand (like BONOSS) wheel spacers undergo thoroughly a series of performance tests to ensure they can handle scrutinous standards before leaving the factory.
Q: Do 1.25 inch wheel spacers break studs?
A: Actually, no, the load from the wheel is transferred to the axle/hub through the friction of the clamped joint, not through the wheel studs.
Q: Are 1.25 inch wheel spacers hard to remove?
A: Removing wheel spacers should not be hard. To make the removal process easier, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with disassembly grooves to improve the disassembly efficiency greatly.
