Installing 5mm 5×114 3 spacer is a good way to upgrade the wheel style and handling. They are often chosen by drivers who want to slightly adjust the appearance or handling of their vehicle without making drastic changes. To safely use 5mm spacers, you need new longer wheel studs to achieve a proper thread engagement.
Only if the stud thread is long enough can the studs provide proper clamping force to keep wheel spacers and wheels balanced. As a rule of thumb, the thread length must be equal to or greater than the diameter of the stud itself. Giving an example, an M14 wheel stud would need at least 14mm threads to ensure a safe installation.
How Long Wheel Studs Do I Need for 5mm 5×114 3 Spacer?
Simply speaking, 5mm 5×114 3 spacer occupy about 5mm stud thread which stops the OEM wheel nuts from engaging the full thread. Therefore, you need at least 5mm longer wheel studs. For example, if your OEM wheel stud length is 35mm and you get a 5mm wheel spacer installed, then 40mm wheel studs are the way to go. Stock stud length + spacer thickness = required wheel stud length.
What is the Best Offset for 5mm 5×114 3 Spacer?
The 5mm 5×114 3 spacer kit can change the wheel offset. For example, a 5mm spacer will reduce about 5mm offset. If you have aftermarket wheels that don’t have the ideal offset, wheel spacers can help achieve the perfect fitment. This enlarges the options of wheel and tire combinations.
