These BMW wheel adapters are designed to help with any wheel fitment problems. Even if you get aftermarket wheels with a non-compatible wheel bolt pattern, you do not have to give them up. By installing wheel adapters, you can change your 5×120 wheel bolt pattern to adopt 5×112 wheels. These new wheels will be available on your car in no time.
But when it comes to selecting wheel adapters, people wonder if wheel adapters are safe to use. As long as you set up everything correctly, it is very safe to run wheel adapters. For decades, a lot of people have used wheel adapters with no problems. In this discussion, we will examine how to safely install BMW wheel adapters.
Pro Tips to Safely Install BMW Wheel Adapters
Clean Hubs:
During the installation process, some people may leave rust on the rotors, and not rechecking torque initially. This will cause problems. It is highly recommended to make sure the vehicle hubs are clean and smooth
Apply Anti-seize:
If you frequently go racing, it is a good idea to use anti-seize on those adapters. Make sure the bolts and studs are clean and free from oil or dirt.
Proper Torque:
Set a torque wrench to the proper torque and then tighten each lug bolt in a “star” sequence. This ensures your car is safe and reliable. The REFERENCE torque spec of the BMW wheel adapters is 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts and 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts.
Check Tire Rubbing:
After installing BMW wheel adapters, park the car on flat ground, rotate the steering wheel to one extreme position, and inspect the wheel well to check whether there are rubbing signs.
Re-torque Adapters:
It is always a great idea to re-torque the wheel adapters after 50-100 miles of driving. Regularly inspect the tightness of the lug bolts.
