There are two main types of 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers, slip-on types, and bolt-on types. Slip-on spacers directly slide over your wheel studs and are sandwiched by the wheel and your vehicle’s wheel hub. On the other hand, the bolt-on 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers are bolted onto the vehicle wheel studs with the provided lug nuts. Since bolt-on spacers come with two sets of wheel lugs to fasten everything in place, they are the best 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers type.
In the market, there are hub-centric 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers and lug-centric spacers. Usually, a hub-centric wheel spacer is machined to fit the specific vehicle hub. When upgrading with Chevy 5×115 spacers, a hub-centric set is always the best option. They allow the spacers to sit centered on your hub, rather than dangle off the studs. Wheel vibrations after installing 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers are almost exclusively caused by lug-centric spacers.
What 2023 Chevy Equinox Wheel Spacers Can I Trust?
When choosing safe 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers, material selection can be very important. Considering the strength and rustproof needs, billet aluminum is more suitable. BONOSS forged active cooling 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up 572 MPa (al7075-T6). They are high-performance aluminum alloys that feature good corrosion resistance, weldability, workability, and machinability.
Additionally, these BONOSS 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers come with ISO grade 10 wheel nuts. The minimum proof load of ISO grade 10 lug nuts is 1,100 MPa which far exceeds the standard grade 6. Besides, they are Dacromet-coating. This type of coating gives salt spray resistances exceeding 500 hours. Most importantly, Dacromet coating does not induce Hydrogen Embrittlement, which means that strong components like wheel studs and nuts can be safely coated. Equipped with such hardware, the 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers are much better and safer.
Can 2023 Chevy Equinox Wheel Spacers Come Loose?

It is always a good idea to keep lug nuts fully in contacting the 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers, which would require the full-cone lug seats.
BONOSS forged active cooling 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers come with full-cone lug seats. They provide a larger contact area, more force acreage, and better fitting. Therefore, the wheel nuts can fully contact the spacers. This allows the studs and nuts to apply enough clamping force to lock the 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers, avoiding any potential loosening risks. In summary, getting genuine BONOSS forged active cooling 2023 Chevy Equinox wheel spacers installed is always a good idea to give your SUV better performance as well as a unique look.
