One popular modification among car enthusiasts is adding 2 wheel spacers, which can enhance the overall stance and appearance of your vehicle. Wheel spacers are simple wheel parts that create additional clearance between the wheel hubs and the wheels. This extra space allows you to run wider wheels and tires, giving your car a more aggressive and muscular look.
Choosing the right size wheel spacers is crucial to ensure optimal performance, safety, and a seamless driving experience. Can you put 2 wheel spacers together to make bigger wheel clearance? The answer is simple: it is not recommended to put 2 wheel spacers on one wheel. If you want to move the wheels out 2 inches, then just use one-piece 2-inch spacers.
Can You Put 2 Spacers on Top of Each Other?
Generally, it is not recommended to put 2 spacers on top of each other. Many people try to double up 2 pcs of 1-inch spacers to make it 2-inch on each side. However, things are not that simple. If these two stacked wheel spacers are subjected to different forces, the wheel studs could be broken. Using a single, thicker wheel spacer instead of stacking many thinner spacers is the best way to ensure safety.
What is the Right Size Wheel Spacers?
When it comes to 2 wheel spacers, size matters. Go too small, and you won’t achieve the desired stance or handling improvements. Go too large, and you risk rubbing issues. Here are some general guidelines for choosing the perfect wheel spacer size for your vehicle.
Wheel Offset:
Installing wheel spacers can reduce the wheel offset. The lower the offset is, the more a wheel will sit further out. Depending on the wheel offset, you might need a bigger or smaller spacer to achieve your desired look.
Tire Width:
Wider tires can fill the wheel well more. If you plan to use wider tires, you may only need a thinner spacer. On the other hand, narrow tires may require larger spacers to achieve a flush look.
How to Choose the Best 2” Wheel Spacers?
As long as you use a high-quality set, it is safe to use 2” wheel spacers. The best wheel spacers should be high-quality and well-designed. Here are some tips of how to choose the best 2” wheel spacers:
Reputable Brands:
Brand companies focus on quality and reputation. They often invest a hefty sum in designing and testing their products to make sure their products are high-quality. Besides, most genuine brand wheel spacers usually come with a warranty. You can always trust reputable brands.
Hub-centric Types:
A good way to ensure safety is to get hub-centric spacers which will add strength and provide a better driving experience. In order to make the hub-centric spacers fit more snugly with the vehicle hub, BONOSS forged active cooling spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric rings.
BONOSS forged multi-stage hub-centric two inch wheel spacers are considered to be safer and more reliable. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, the bevels fit for the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps. This effectively reduces the chance of vibration and keeps your wheels safe all the way.
More Advantages:
It will surely be best if a spacer can solve the rubbing problem while providing more advantages. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling 2 wheel spacers come with an active cooling function. Distributed in a petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when rotating.
The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This is good for improving driving safety. Brakes tend to fail quickly when cooling efficiency is poor. To some extent, BONOSS forged active cooling 2 wheel spacers extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
