Generally, installing 2 inch tire spacers is a good idea to make your car perform better in street driving or off-roading adventures. By pushing the wheels further out from the hub assembly, these 2-inch spacers increase the track width. A wider track provides several key benefits like:
- Allows for fitting larger tires or aggressive rims.
- Creates a bolder and more powerful wheel stance.
- Enhances the handling and stability on rough trails.
- Improved ride quality and rollover resistance.
To maintain the best performance and safety, it is crucial to choose the right set. Here are the key factors of choosing the safest 2 inch tire spacers.
Top Picks of the Best 2 Inch Tire Spacers
Check Wheel Offset:
Determine your current wheel offset and calculate the difference from the desired offset. Generally, a 2-inch wheel spacer will reduce about 50mm offset. The less the offset, the more the wheels will stick out from the vehicle hub assembly.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Bolt patterns are specifically set by the manufacturer, helping narrow your wheel spacer choices. Before buying wheel spacers, it is important to figure out the bolt pattern sizes.
Quality Material:
Not all 2 inch tire spacers are created equal. Always choose genuine brand wheel spacers that are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. High-quality aluminum rim spacers provide superior strength and rust resistance.
What is the 2 Inch Tire Spacers Torque Spec?
The REFERENCE torque spec of the 2-inch wheel spacers can be 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts. This is just a reference value. Some wheels or applications may require more or less tightening torque. It is always a good idea to ask a tire expert to figure out the exact torque spec before operating.
What Are the Best 2 Inch Tire Spacers for Sale?
If you choose BONOSS forged active cooling 2 inch tire spacers, you’re opting for safety, performance, and trusted quality. All BONOSS forged wheel spacers are made by advanced machinery and undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
BONOSS forged active cooling 2 inch tire spacers provide an active cooling function. There are petal-shaped heat dissipation grooves that allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the brakes. The heat dissipation grooves can boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum Materials
All BONOSS forged active cooling 2 inch tire spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 billet aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (as strong as aviation aircraft). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking.
3. Knurling Surface for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling aluminum alloy wheel spacers are finished with a textured surface on the sides. The knurling surfaces eliminate internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Do I need longer wheel studs for 2-inch spacers?
A: If you use bolt-on type spacers, you don’t need longer wheel studs for 2 inch tire spacers.
Q: Do wheel spacers affect alignment?
A: If you just install wheel spacers, high-quality car spacers (like BONOSS spacers) won’t affect wheel alignment.
Q: Do wheel spacers cause tire wear?
A: Tire rubbing will happen if the wheel offset does not match. As long as you use proper-size spacers, they won’t cause tires wear.
Final Word: Elevate Your Vehicle with BONOSS
Whether you plan to give your car a more aggressive stance, a better performance, or simply accommodate different aftermarket wheels, BONOSS forged active cooling 2 inch tire spacers are a great solution. BONOSS ensures the product meets the highest performance and quality standards. Your vehicle deserves the best.
