The 5×120 wheel spacers create extra clearance between the hub assembly and the wheels. This makes the wheel protrude away from the fender, giving your car a sportier and more aggressive exterior. If you intend to use new aftermarket wheels, you may want to consider getting a set of wheel spacers to fix the offset problems.
Wheel spacers essentially increase the distance from the wheel center to the vehicle hub flange, hence reducing positive offset. The lower the wheel offset you achieve, the more your wheels will stick out the fender flares. If you calculate well and get proper size 5×120 wheel spacers installed, your car will look much cooler and snazzier.
5×120 Wheel Spacers vs Offset Rims: Which is Better?
The wheel spacers and offset rims are two popular solutions to change your car’s wheel stance. But which is better for your car? Here are the pros and cons of them:
- Flexible Offset:
The offset of a wheel is fixed. If you want to alter the offset, you have to change the entire rims. However, the 5×120 wheel spacers can alter the offset flexibly with the stock wheels. For example, 15mm spacers reduce about 15mm offset and 25mm spacers reduce about 25mm offset. - Budget Friendly:
Wheel spacers provide the same effect as many low-offset wheels, but the price is much lower than offset rims. You can use the savings to buy other upgrading parts. - OEM-like Stance:
The 5×120 wheel spacers allow you to achieve a perfect flush wheel style while preserving the OEM wheels and tires. - Bolt Pattern Conversion:
The best part of wheel spacers (adapters) is that they can change the OEM bolt pattern to fit many aftermarket wheels. For example, if you use a 5×120 to 5×114.3 PCD adapter, you can fit 5×120 wheels on a car with 5×114.3mm bolt pattern.
Who Sells the Best 5×120 Wheel Spacers?
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 5×120 wheel spacers. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×120 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 5×120 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 racing events.
3. Full-cone Seat for Firmly Secured
It is always a good idea to keep lug nuts fully in contact with the 5×120 wheel spacers. In this case, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with full-cone lug seats. The full-cone lug seats provide large contact areas. This allows the lug nuts to fasten the spacers more efficiently and securely.
