As long as you install them properly, using high-quality 5×100 to 5×112 adapters is safe and reliable. In the market, there are hub-centric wheel adapters and lug-centric adapters. Hub-centric wheel adapters can create a firm and stable wheel connection. It is this contact point that bears the weight of the vehicle. In brief words, you will eventually need quality hub-centric wheel adapters with integrated hub-centric rings to ensure safety.
As long as you torque them properly, high-quality aftermarket wheel adapters are exactly safe to use. If you are unsure or have any doubts, you can toy with the reference below:
- M12 lug nuts or bolts: 83.3 lb-ft (113 Nm);
- M14 lug nuts or bolts: 103.5 lb-ft (140 Nm).
Please note that different wheels or applications need different torque values. It is highly recommended to consult a tire expert before operating.
5×100 to 5×112 Adapters Before and After
More Wheel Options:
The 5×100 to 5×112 adapters allow you to change the 5×100 bolt pattern to a 5×112 bolt pattern. Wheel adapters expand your choices of aftermarket wheels. For example, a 5×100 to 5×112 wheel adapter allows you to use BMW 5×112 wheels on your Subaru BRZ.
Correct Wheel Offset:
Wheel adapters can fix wrong wheel offset issues. If you need to slightly adjust the offset to make aftermarket wheels flush with the fenders, then adapters are a good idea.
Zero Tire Rubbing:
Wheel adapters increase the clearance between the wheel and the brake rotor. For those who plan on adding bigger brake calipers, wheel adapters will be a very useful solution.
Better Handling:
By increasing the track width, 5×100 to 5×112 wheel adapters boost the handling of curves and swerving, which helps your vehicle perform better on the road.
What Makes BONOSS 5×100 to 5×112 Adapters the Best Choice?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets apart BONOSS from other adapters manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling 5×100 to 5×112 adapters are built strictly to meet international standards that can improve the quality of your own driving experience. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their adapters a top choice.
1. Advanced Active Cooling Technology
BONOSS forged active cooling wheel adapters are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves behind the adapters boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
Brakes tend to fail quickly when cooling efficiency is poor. To some extent, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×100 to 5×112 hub adapters extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum Material
While maintaining lightweight, guaranteeing absolute strength and reliability is a priority. All BONOSS forged hub-centric 5×100 to 5×112 PCD adapters are made of 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The ultimate tensile strength of these two aluminum alloys are:
Forged 6061-T6 adapters: 42000-45000 psi (300-310 MPa);
Forged 7075-T6 adapters: 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa).
A high-strength adapter can withstand more stress without breaking. Precise hub-centric construction provides a stable wheel connection.
3. Strong Fasteners for Enhanced Stability
To ensure safety, BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel bolts. These lug bolts will undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. The results of those performance tests are great: tensile strength≥1,220 MPa, proof load≥121,000 N. They are all approved by over 66 SGS and TÜV authoritative certification reports.
