The 6×5 5 spacers are metal components that push the wheels and tires outwards to achieve a more aggressive wheel style and improve performance. By creating more inner wheel clearance, they are helpful to stop wider tires from rubbing, clear brake caliper interference, enhance the handling. The wheels are set apart more, providing better stability.
Adding 6×5 5 spacers is similar to changing to lower-offset rims. If you use quality ones and install them correctly, wheel spacers themselves don’t cause any problems. Nowadays, the wheel spacers are one of the most cost-effective wheel upgrading components for wheel fitment. In this blog, we will delve into the best 6×5 5 spacers to help you make a wise decision.
Best 6×5 5 Spacers: Bolt-on vs. Slip-on
There are two main types of 6×5 5 spacers that exist on the market: bolt-on types and slip-on types.
Bolt-on 6×5 5 spacers are bolted to the existing studs with the provided lug nuts and then secure the wheel on the spacer with the stock lug nuts. This ensures a proper thread engagement. You don’t have to change to longer wheel studs. Generally, they are regarded as being somewhat easier to install than the slip-on style.
Slip-on spacers directly slide over the wheel studs and sandwiched by the wheel and the vehicle hub. It is critical to ensure your factory studs are long enough for the proper thread engagement. For example, a M14x1.5mm wheel stud requires about 8 full turns of the lug nut. If you cannot achieve this, it is necessary to use extended studs to ensure safety.
Who Sells the Best 6×5 5 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 6×5 5 spacers. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling 6×5 5 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 6×5 5 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 daily driving and off-roading adventures.
3. Full-cone Seat for Firmly Secured
It is always a good idea to keep lug nuts fully in contact with the spacers. In this case, BONOSS forged active cooling 6×5 5 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.
Frequently Asked FAQs
Q: Do I need to cut OEM studs for 6×5.5 wheel spacers?
A: Simply speaking, if the wheel pockets are deep enough to contain the protruding studs, there is no need to trim any OEM studs. If the wheel pocket depth + spacer thickness≥ stud length, then these wheel spacers will fit properly.
Q: What are the best 6×5 5 spacers for rock crawling?
A: People who frequently go off-roading or hit the trails will benefit from 7075-T6 spacers. The 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is one of the strongest types of aluminum available. They are less likely to break even under hard driving.
Q: How much do replacement 6×5 5 wheel spacers cost?
A: Brand-new 6×5.5” wheel spacers start from $149.99 to $335.99. It depends on the spacer size and material you select.
