Whether longer wheel studs are needed when using 2024 Hyundai Tucson wheel spacers depends on the thickness of the spacers and the original length of the wheel studs on the vehicle. Wheel spacers are installed between the rotor and wheels to increase backspacing, pushing the wheel hub to a position closer to the fender. The additional space the wheel spacers provides brings many benefits, such as improved handling, achieving a more aggressive stance, and accommodating larger aftermarket wheels.
What 2024 Hyundai Tucson Wheel Spacers Need Longer Wheel Studs?
Suppose the 2024 Hyundai Tucson wheel spacers are primarily divided into slip-on and bolt-on types (typically ranging from 5-25 millimeters). In that case, longer wheel studs will be required for slip-on type products, while bolt-on type products do not need extended wheel studs as they come equipped with their own wheel studs and lug nuts. Let us explain the considerations and the necessary length of wheel studs when using slip-on type wheel spacers.
Slip-on 2024 Hyundai Tucson wheel spacers are designed to fit over the existing wheel studs and are secured to the wheel hub using lug nuts. Therefore, the length of the stock wheel studs is insufficient to support the installation of slip-on wheel spacers. Even for 5mm wheel spacers, BONOSS recommends replacing the stock wheel studs with longer ones because thread engagement is crucial to ensure proper clamping force.
From a structural standpoint, slip-on wheel spacers are safer than bolt-on types. To calculate the required length of the wheel studs for slip-on spacers, you need to consider the length of the stock wheel studs plus the thickness of the wheel spacers. For example, if the stock wheel studs are 37mm long and use 10mm wheel spacers, you will need extended wheel studs of 37 + 10= 47mm long.
Correct, for bolt-on type 2024 Hyundai Tucson wheel spacers, there is no need for extended wheel studs because they come with wheel studs that pass through the wheels. Simultaneously, the stock wheel studs will pass through the bolt holes in the spacers, securing them in place.
However, it’s essential to be cautious about the thickness of the chosen wheel spacers. If the selected spacers are too thin, there might be a clearance issue between the stock wheel studs and the wheel pocket. In this situation, the depth of the wheel pocket may not be sufficient to accommodate the wheel studs properly. If such a problem occurs, you may consider cutting the stock wheel studs or opting for thicker spacers that provide adequate clearance.
