2024 Hyundai Elantra wheel spacers are crucial in enhancing vehicle performance and aesthetics. However, car owners commonly worry about whether wheel spacers can securely hold the wheels in place. Bolt-on type products require lug nuts to secure both the wheel spacers and wheels, making the performance of lug nuts and wheel studs essential for locking the components firmly. Understanding how wheel spacers work and how they impact the overall safety and stability of the vehicle is of utmost importance.”
How do 2024 Hyundai Elantra Wheel Spacers Lock the Wheels?
The 2024 Hyundai Elantra wheel spacers are aftermarket accessories that can create additional space between the wheel hub assembly and the wheels to meet various customization needs. They widen the track width, bringing several benefits, such as improved handling, better traction, a more aggressive stance, and the ability to accommodate additional add-ons. When properly installed, wheel spacers securely hold the wheels in place with the help of lug nuts, wheel studs, and hub-centric design, ensuring a tight connection between the wheels and the hub.
Firstly, it’s important to note that even though the 2024 Hyundai Elantra uses wheel studs for fastening, customers can still choose slip-on type wheel spacers if they replace the stock wheel studs. However, this process can be challenging for some customers, so BONOSS provides bolt-on type wheel spacers. These spacers come with wheel studs and lug nuts, which securely attach the wheel spacers to the rotor. Subsequently, the stock lug nuts are used to secure the wheel to the wheel spacers.
Hub centric design is essential for 2024 Hyundai Elantra wheel spacers as it maintains a concentric structure with the rotor, aligning and connecting the center of the rotor with the center of the wheel hub. Using generic or lug-centric products could lead to vehicle vibrations during high-speed driving. BONOSS has designed multi-stage hub centric spacers that fit the rotor and wheel hub more precisely, eliminating the abovementioned issues.
Furthermore, the performance of the wheel studs and lug nuts on the 2024 Hyundai Elantra wheel spacers is crucial. Factors such as the proof load to support the use of wheel spacers, the grade of lug nuts, and their tensile strength are important considerations. BONOSS has conducted destructive testing on these components in professional institutions.
The 12.9-grade wheel studs on the wheel spacers can withstand a tensile strength of 1220MPa, while the lug nuts can handle a strength of 1110MPa. Although these components are classified differently, both have met the highest-grade requirements in the evaluations, making them fully suitable for use in 2024 Hyundai Elantra wheel spacers.
BONOSS recommends using the torque values specified in the original vehicle’s manual for installing stock lug nuts. Since BONOSS 2024 Hyundai Elantra wheel spacers’ protruding lug nuts have the same grade and performance as the original ones, they can withstand higher tightening torques. However, considering the different wheel hubs and original vehicle threads, it is advised to use the minimum number of rotations and torque recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for securing the lug nuts.
For M12x1.5 lug nuts, it is recommended to tighten them with approximately 6.5 rotations, about 10 millimeters of the load-bearing shaft length. Ultimately, you will hear a “click” sound when they are properly tightened.
