Installing 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers is a good idea to maximize wheel fitment. You can replace the OEM rims and tires together with proper wheel spacers. The most common practice is to get the wheels flush with the fenders. However, if you would like to achieve a more aggressive and powerful stance, then you can add a little thicker spacers.
By moving the wheels and tires further from the suspension, the 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers create more inner wheel clearance which is good for preventing larger tires from rubbing issues. Always choose the right wheel spacers, and you will have safe and enjoyable driving. But the big question is: what types of 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers are the best? Let’s dive in to help you avoid costly mistakes.
2017 Toyota Tacoma Wheel Spacers: Steel vs Aluminum
Technically, steel wheel spacers are hard and strong. The high concentration of carbon contributes to its overall hardness but also makes its weight heavier. Besides, some low-quality steel spacers can quickly corrode. Experts will choose aluminum spacers.
On the other hand, forged aluminum wheel spacers are lightweight and strong, meaning they won’t add much weight. What’s better, due to the material properties, these 2017 Toyota Tacoma aluminum wheel spacers are good in corrosion resistance and rust-proof.
2017 Toyota Tacoma Wheel Spacers: Bolt-on vs. Slip-on
Bolt-on Tacoma wheel 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.
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. If you cannot achieve this, it is necessary to use extended studs to ensure safety.
Who Sells the Best 2017 Toyota Tacoma Wheel Spacers Nearby?
BONOSS provides the best 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers for various application. Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacer manufacturers. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for More Adventures
BONOSS forged active cooling 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers improve brake cooling efficiency. The heat dissipation grooves send the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. It would be better if the spacers can solve the rubbing problem and provide more functions.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum, Zero Damage
For the ultimate performance, BONOSS forged active cooling 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers are made of billet aluminum 6061-T6 or even a special 7075-T6 aluminum, these aircraft quality alloys are forged with up to 3000 tons of pressure. The ultimate tensile strength results of these two aluminum alloys are:
- Forged 6061-T6 spacers: 42000-45000 psi (300-310 MPa);
- Forged 7075-T6 spacers: 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa).
Such BONOSS forged active cooling 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers won’t break even under hard driving.
3. Strong Fasteners for Zero Loosen
To safely secure the spacers, BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs (tensile strength≥1,220 MPa) and ISO grade 10 wheel nuts (proof load≥1,110 MPa). They are meticulously coated with Dacromet. This type of coating gives neutral salt spray resistances exceeding 500 hours. They won’t break easily.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Wheel Style with BONOSS
With those outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling 2017 Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. With the right wheel spacers, your vehicle can look even more impressive and perform even better. Your vehicle deserves the best. Happy modding!
