The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps. As long as you install them correctly, these BONOSS hub-centric wheel spacers won’t mess up the alignment or cause wheel vibration.
3. CNC Machined for Precise Installation
All BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114.3 wheel spacers are precisely CNC machined. The precision is within 0.02mm tolerance. A wheel spacer with a high-quality surface is easier to sit flush up against the vehicle hub and wheel. These precise BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114.3 wheel spacers 2 inch are helpful to avoid excessive tire wear.
