As long as you install them correctly, high-quality brand 2-inch Colorado spacers won’t hurt your truck. Basically, the Chevy Colorado wheel spacers are installed between the assembly hub and the wheel. The wheel lugs apply a clamping force to secure the spacer and wheel to the vehicle hub. This is the same as installing new offset wheels. So long as you torque them properly, the 2-inch Colorado spacers are safe for daily driving or off-roading adventures. Additionally, they make your pickup truck perform better. Due to the OEM arrangement of suspension components, vehicle chassis engineers establish wheel and tire size limitations.
If you add bigger all-terrain tires, they may hit suspension parts, affecting the overall performance. Professional mechanics will suggest adding 2-inch Colorado spacers because they enlarge the selection of aftermarket wheels and tires. By spacing the wheels outwards, these 2-inch Colorado spacers provide a rugged, powerful, and muscular stance. Modern truck manufacturers engineered the tolerances of the wheel bearings to handle more than the OEM load. These 2-inch Colorado spacers cause no more damage than offset wheels. Done properly, running wheel spacers will be fine for years without any problems.
Can Chevy 2-inch Colorado Spacers Crack?
High-end 2-inch Colorado spacers are precisely engineered with exacting specifications to fit your truck. They perfectly sit on your vehicle hub, meaning no extra stress, hence there is less chance to crack. To ensure a firm wheel connection, BONOSS forged active cooling spacers come with multi-stage hub-centric rings. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps. Hence the wheels can be properly mounted and accurately balanced. Such BONOSS forged active cooling hub-centric 2-inch Colorado spacers reduce the chance of wheel vibration.
In off-roading events, the wheels usually bear fierce impacts, thus the quality of 2-inch Colorado spacers is very important. All BONOSS forged active cooling 2-inch Colorado spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is high-quality aluminum which has excellent processing performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, and no deformation after processing. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa. High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking.
What Are the Safest Chevy 2-inch Colorado Spacers?
After installation, 2-inch Colorado spacers become the connection point of the wheel and hub assembly. Hence, you would need high-quality spacers. BONOSS forged active cooling aluminum 2-inch Colorado spacers are hard-anodizing to resist corrosion so that they can work well for a long time without any problems. A proper hard anodizing coating ensures complete protection against corrosion. The oxide layer that follows the anodizing process offers excellent protection. The black dye coatings will not fade easily.
When it comes to the safest 2-inch Colorado spacers, wheel lugs are important. High-strength Chevy wheel studs and nuts ensure a strong wheel-spacer-hub connection. To ensure safety, BONOSS forged active cooling 2-inch Colorado spacers come with ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs (tensile strength ≥ 1,220 MPa; ultimate tensile load ≥ 152,000 N; proof load ≥ 121,000 N). They are all SGS TÜV-certified. Generally, the higher the tensile strength, the more impact load the wheel studs can withstand, and the safer they are.
