Generally, installing 5×120 spacers is a good idea to improve the wheel style and performance. These wheel spacers push the wheels further out from the hub assembly, increasing the track width. A wider track provides several key benefits:
- Allows for fitting wider tires or aggressive rims.
- A bolder, more powerful wheel stance.
- Enhanced stability and handling.
- Improved ride quality and rollover resistance.
The 5×120 spacers and aftermarket wheels 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:
5×120 Spacers vs New Wheels
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 spacers can alter the offset flexibly with the stock wheels.
Budget Friendly:
Wheel spacers provide the same effect as many aftermarket wheels, but the price is much lower than a set of new wheels. 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.
What is the 5×120 Spacers Torque Spec?
The REFERENCE torque spec of the 5×120 spacers can be 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts. This is just a reference value. Some wheels or applications may require more or less tightening torque. It is always a good idea to ask a tire expert to figure out the exact torque spec before operating.
What Are the Best 5×120 Spacers for Sale?
If you choose BONOSS forged wheel spacers, you’re opting for safety, performance, and trusted quality. All BONOSS forged wheel spacers are made by advanced machinery and undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×120 spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. When rotating, these grooves allow the air to flow between the spacers and brake rotors. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system. These BONOSS forged active cooling car spacers boost the cooling efficiency, reduce brake thermal decay, and improve road safety.
2. Knurling Surface for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×120 spacers are finished with a textured surface on the sides. The knurling surfaces eliminate internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect.
3. Aerospace-grade Aluminum Materials
All BONOSS forged active cooling 5×120 spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 billet aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (as strong as aviation aircraft). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking.
4. Strong Fasteners for Enhanced Stability
When it comes to safe 5×120 wheel spacers, wheel lugs are important. The provided BONOSS wheel studs are made of high-strength forged SCM440 alloy steel. These wheel studs are approved by over 75 SGS TÜV authoritative certification reports:
- Tensile strength≥1,220 MPa;
- Limited life range test≥2,000,000 stress cycles without damage;
- Ultimate tensile load≥152,000 N;
- Hardness (HV)≥395;
- Neutral Salt Spray≥500H.
Final Word: Elevate Your Vehicle with BONOSS
Whether you plan to give your car a more aggressive stance, a better performance, or simply accommodate different aftermarket wheels, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×120 spacers are a great solution. BONOSS ensures the product meets the highest performance and quality standards. Your vehicle deserves the best.
