The 5×114 3 wheel spacers are metal components that push your wheels and tires outwards to achieve a flush stance. By creating more inner wheel clearance, they are helpful to stop tires from rubbing, clear brake caliper interference, enhance the handling of curves and swerving, and more.
As long as you install them correctly, 5×114 3 wheel spacers are safe to use. When upgrading with wheel spacers, a vehicle-specific set is always the best option. In this article, we’ll explore what factors affect wheel spacer safety, and some considerations to keep in mind when installing them.
What Are the Safest 5×114 3 Wheel Spacers?
When considering the safety of 5×114 3 wheel spacers, there are several factors to take into account:
- Sizes: precise bolt pattern and center bore diameter
- Material: forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy
- Types: hub-centric types
- High-strength wheel studs and lug bolts
- Proper installation and torque specs
Hub-centric vs Lug-centric Wheel Spacers
Hub-centric 5×114 3 wheel spacers are designed with center rings that fit perfectly the axle and the space inside the center bore of the wheel. In this way, the wheel is centered by the hub connection and the lugs can hold it flush against the mounting plate. This ensures the wheel is properly centered on the spacer, reducing vibrations and preventing potential safety issues.
Lug-centric 5×114 3 wheel spacers come with larger hub bore diameters so that the spacer can fit a wider array of vehicles. The spacer looks like a large washer that fits in the gap between the hub and wheel. Without the support of the hub (because of the gap), the wheel cannot be centered on the axle, leading to annoying wheel vibrations while driving.
Who Sells the Best 5×114 3 Wheel Spacers for Sale?
BONOSS has the engineering team to measure the specific vehicle more than 3000 times in detail. With 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the most precise 5×114 3 wheel spacers. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114 3 wheel spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. When rotating, these grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer. This is effective in dissipating heat for the braking system. For those who change to performance brakes, these BONOSS spacers are good to go.
2. Forged Aluminum for Improved Durability
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114 3 wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). When facing bump and impact loads, higher tensile strength can bear greater forces without breaking. Hence, these BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers can operate well in driving.
3. Full-cone Seat for Firmly Secured
It is always a good idea to keep lug bolts fully in contacting the spacers. In this case, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114 3 wheel spacers come with full-cone lug seats. The full-cone lug seats provide large contact areas. This allows the lug bolts to fasten the spacers more efficiently and stalely.
