The 5×4 5 spacers are wheel parts that improve the wheel style and performance. Most people use wheel spacers to accommodate a big brake kit and wider tires. As long as you keep the wheels still covered by the fender flares, wheel spacers are safe to use. If you add a 20mm spacer, then the track width will increase by about 20mm.
For many vehicle, this means more stability and grip which is good for cornering. The increased inner wheel clearance provide proper room to fit aftermarket suspension parts. But with all the options out there, what sizes of 5×4 5” wheel spacers are best? We’ll cover the key features to help you select the best 5×4 5 spacers for your unique setup.
5 Pro Tips for the Best 5×4 5 Spacers
- Fender Clearance:
Knowing how much the fender gap helps you choose the correct 5×4 5 spacers. Take a straight edge and place it against the outermost part of the rims/tires, then measure from the outside wheel to the fender line. Repeat this on the front and rear wheels and you’ll soon get the perfect thickness. - Quality Material:
It is recommended to use forged aluminum 5×4 5 spacers. Because aluminum alloy is strong, lightweight, and good in corrosion resistance. Always choose genuine brand wheel spacers that are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. - Precise Fitment:
Precise hub-centric 5×4 5 spacers provide high surface integrity and stability, reducing vibrations and preventing potential safety issues. - Torque Spec:
The REFERENCE torque on a 5×4 5 spacer is 83.3 ft-lbs for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lbs for M14 bolts. A good torque wrench is a great way to fasten lug nuts evenly. Every time you perform tire maintenance, you can double-check the torque on the wheel nuts just to be safe. - Re-torque:
It is always a great idea to re-torque the 5×4 5 wheel spacers after 50-100 miles of driving. Regularly inspect the tightness of the lug nuts.
What Makes BONOSS 5×4 5 Spacers the Best Choice?
High-end wheel spacers are produced with top-quality materials to provide optimum performance to the vehicle. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×4 5 spacers undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Safe Upgrades
Based on traditional rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×4 5 spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. These petal-shaped grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously to actively dissipate heat for the braking system. Besides, the edge notches act as air collectors, which tremendously enlarges the airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
Unlike those cheap casting spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×4 5 spacers are exceptionally strong, making them very durable. Due to the super forging process, BONOSS forged 7075-T6 aluminum spacers feature an ultimate tensile strength of 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa). They won’t break easily.
3. Precisely Machined for No Deviation
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×4 5 spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm, which makes the hub-centric lip more accurate, perfectly fits the wheel hub, and provides a snug connection between the wheel and vehicle hub, reducing the chances of vibrations.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Vehicle with BONOSS
With these outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling 5×4 5 spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the ride quality, choosing BONOSS ensures that you’re getting a product that meets the highest standards of performance and quality.
