Adding Chevrolet C5 Corvette hub centric wheel spacers is a good idea to solve big wheels fitment issues, and clearing large brake caliper clearance problems. By spacing the wheels out, they increase the track width, hence strengthening the grip. As the gripping power increases, the resistance to rollover enhances. As long as you torque each lug nut, it is exactly safe to run wheel spacers.
The REFERENCE torque spec for C5 Corvette hub centric wheel spacers is 113 Nm (83.3 ft-lb). Every time you perform wheel maintenance, you have to tighten the vehicle’s lug nuts accurately. For some wheels or applications, you may need more or less tightening torque. So, it’s best to consult a tire specialist to ensure the exact torque spec before operating.
How to Torque C5 Corvette Hub Centric Wheel Spacers?
Correctly torquing the lug nuts is one of the most important steps when installing C5 Corvette hub centric wheel spacers. For safety, it’s recommended to have a professional install wheel spacers for your cars unless you are experienced in vehicle modifications. Here are some key tips:
- Make sure the stud thread is clean and dry with no oil or grease.
- Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten wheel lug nuts in a crisscross sequence.
- It is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers C5 Corvette hub centric after the first 50 to 100 driving miles.
What Make BONOSS C5 Corvette Hub Centric Wheel Spacers the Best Choice?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacers manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling C5 Corvette hub centric wheel spacers 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 spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Improved Safety
BONOSS forged active cooling C5 Corvette hub centric wheel spacers provide more advantages with prices at a good value. For example, these BONOSS wheel spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. The heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer.
The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. In addition, the disassembly grooves act as air-collecting funnels, which effectively increase airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
2. Hub-centric Design for Enhanced Stability
BONOSS forged active cooling C5 Corvette hub centric wheel spacers come with multi-stage hub-centric lips. 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 C5 Corvette hub centric 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 C5 Corvette wheel spacers are helpful to avoid excessive tire wear.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is it necessary to add C5 Corvette wheel spacers on all 4 tires?
A: It is not necessary to add wheel spacers on all 4 tires. Most people use wheel spacers just to accommodate bigger brakes on the front wheels.
Q: Will C5 Corvette wheel spacers allow for larger tires?
A: Wheel spacers create more inner wheel clearance, which allows for fitting a big brake kit without rubbing issues.
Q: Can you use C5 Corvette wheel spacers on stock wheels?
A: Yes, you can put wheel spacers on stock wheels with no problem. Even if you don’t change the OEM wheels and tires, spacers improve the handling greatly.
