The 4WD wheel spacers are wheel accessories for wheel style and performance upgrades. Whether you’re planning to use them for daily driving or off-roading needs, if you use quality wheel spacers and install them correctly, there won’t be a problem. By enlarging the track width, these wheel spacers enable the tires to better grip the road surface, you will feel more stable while cornering.
These 4WD wheel spacers are becoming popular by the day for aesthetic purposes and fitment issues. They allow you to install bigger tires and larger brakes with no rubbing issues. Besides, these tire spacers bring your cars an aggressive and rugged look. In this post, we’ll examine the safe 4WD wheel spacers installation and some pro tips.
Can I Use 4WD Wheel Spacers for Off-roading?
Yes, you can use wheel spacers in off-roading adventures. There are some factors to help you install 4WD wheel spacers safely.
- Clean the Thread:
When torquing the lug nuts, make sure that the stud and nut threads are clean and dry with no oil, or grease. Don’t apply lubrication to the wheel’s hardware. - Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the wheel spacers to proper torque specs. Set the torque wrench to the manufacturer’s recommended value. Then simply turn the wrench handle until it reaches the torque mark. - Correct Torque Specs:
The REFERENCE torque spec on the 4WD wheel spacers is 113 Nm for M12 lug nuts or 140 Nm for M14 lug nuts. For some wheels or applications, you may need more or less tightening torque. So, it’s best to consult a tire specialist to ensure the exact torque spec before operating - Proper Sequence:
Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten spacer wheel nuts in a crisscross sequence. When the lug nuts are properly torqued down, you will feel a click around the head of the wrench. Don’t trust an impact gun can settle everything down. - Re-torque the Spacers:
it is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance. By torquing each lug nut to the proper torque specification, your new 4WD wheel spacers will safely function.
What 4WD Wheel Spacers Are the Best?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacer manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling 4WD wheel spacers are built strictly to meet international standards. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
BONOSS forged active cooling 4WD wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves allow the air to flow across the brake rotors. This boosts the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay. This is good to extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
2. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
BONOSS forged active cooling 4WD wheel spacers are made of 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is high-quality aluminum that has excellent corrosion resistance and high toughness. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). They are strong enough to handle various driving conditions.
3. Hub-centric Design for Zero Vibration
To provide a perfect fitment, BONOSS makes adjustments to the spacers according to the actual vehicle hub design. These BONOSS forged active cooling 4WD wheel spacers come with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. They are vehicle-specific hub-centric wheel spacers. This is helpful to keep the spacers and wheels centered and balanced, reducing the chance of high-speed vibration.
In Summary: Unlock More Wheel Options with BONOSS
From advanced active cooling advantages to customizable solutions and certified quality, BONOSS forged active cooling 4WD wheel spacers are designed to provide a safe, reliable, and enhanced driving experience. Choose BONOSS and experience the difference—engineered for those who demand the best.
