Using 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch is actually a good way to improve the driving experience. By increasing the track width, the contact points of tires are expanded, which results in more stability and smoothness. This also improves the rollover resistance. In addition, widening the track gives your car an exaggerated, sporty, and powerful look.
As long as you install them properly, high-quality 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch are safe for cars, trucks, and SUVs. But not all wheel spacers are created equal. If you want maximum safety and performance benefits from tire spacers, quality should be the top priority. Installing 1-inch wheel spacers is not a difficult task, but it requires some tools and skills.
Pro Tips to Install 6×5 5 Wheel Spacers 1 Inch Safely
There are several critical tips that may help you get proper installation:
- Spray degreaser on the studs and use a wire brush to clean the threads. This allows the lug nuts to fasten well.
- If the hub is dirty, rusted, or pitted use the emery cloth to clean up the surface. Wipe down the entire hub surface, ensuring it is clean and smooth. This needs to be done thoroughly.
- Test if the spacer fits your vehicle hub. Ensure that the spacer is firmly seated and flush against the hub.
- Tighten the lug nuts with a torque wrench in a star pattern. This should be done to the manufacturer-recommended torque.
- The REFERENCE torque spec of the 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch is 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts. This is just a reference value.
- Double-check that all lug nuts are tightened to the manufacturer’s specification with a properly calibrated torque wrench in a crisscross, star pattern.
Who Makes the Best 6×5 5 Wheel Spacers 1 Inch for Sale?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished 1 inch spacers to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the spacers to make sure that they meet the design specifications. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Braking
BONOSS forged active cooling 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch come with petal-shaped grooves. The grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This is good for performance brakes.
2. Precise Hub-centric for Zero Vibration
BONOSS forged active cooling 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any kind of vibrations.
3. Full-cone Lug Seat for Improved Stability
What’s better, BONOSS forged active cooling 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch come with full-cone lug seats. Full-cone seat design allows the studs and nuts to apply enough clamping force to lock the spacers, avoiding any potential loosening risks.
Frequently Asked FAQ

A: It is NOT recommended to stack wheel spacers. Using a single 2-inch wheel spacer instead of stacking 2 pcs of 1-inch spacers is the best way to ensure safety.
Q: How often should I torque 6×5 5 wheel spacers 1 inch?
A: It is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance.
