The lug nut spacers are used to create necessary distance on the inner portion of the wheel for clearance problems with brakes, tie rods, and other suspension components. By pushing out the wheel, you can gain the ideal amount of clearance for a bigger brake instead of rubbing against it when mounting back the wheel.
Besides, they can also increase body control experience, offering better corner performance, and more stable driving. Aesthetically, they provides a more aggressive and powerful stance. When you get your lug nut spacers and really to install, the instructions below may help you walk through each step.
How to Properly Install Lug Nut Spacers?
- Park your car in a safe, well-lit, level area, leave the wheels in contact with the ground;
- Prepare your new wheel and wheel spacer;
- Loosen all the lug nuts, lift the car and slowly remove the wheel;
- Cleaning the entire hub surface, ensuring it is clean and smooth;
- Place your car spacers on the hub and ensure that the spacer is firmly seated and flush against the hub;
- Tighten the spacer with the matching lug nuts to the vehicle hub to specific torque;
- The REFERENCE torque spec of the lug nut spacers is 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts or 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts.
- Installing your wheel, use the stock lug nuts to secure it;
- Tighten the spacer with the matching lug nuts to the vehicle hub to specific torque;
- Repeat the above steps for the remaining wheels;
- Then your new wheels are safely installed on your car.
Why BONOSS Lug Nut Spacers Stands Out?
When it comes to the best lug nut spacers for your car, safety and performance should be the top priorities. From the most basic theory to actual drawing and mapping, BONOSS endows a meticulous heart and strict requirements. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Effective Active Cooling Advantages
Aside from the above functions, BONOSS forged active cooling lug nut spacers provide the active cooling technique. Distributed in petal shape, the cooling grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates.
The flowing air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This boosts the heat dissipation efficiency of the rotors, reducing brake thermal decay, hence improving road safety.
2. Top-quality Materials
BONOSS forged active cooling lug nut spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The forging process allows the conversion spacers to have a very high weight-to-strength ratio. Lighter-weight aluminum allows them to operate well at a higher performance in most conditions. As a result, BONOSS PCD spacers are much strong with much less weight.
3. Advance Hub-centric Design
BONOSS makes adjustments to the hub-centric wheel spacers according to the actual vehicle hub design. These lug nut spacers 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 effectively reduces any kind of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is it OK to use universal lug nut spacers?
A: It is not recommended to use universal spacers. Universal spacers will leave a certain gap between the wheel-to-hub connection, leading to vibrations. Specific wheel spacers are the best option for specific vehicles.
Q: Does brand matter for lug nut spacers?
A: Yes, it is important to use reputable brand-new wheel spacers. Most genuine brand wheel spacers usually come with a warranty.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Car with BONOSS
With these outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling lug nut spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the handling, choosing BONOSS ensures that you’re getting a product that meets the highest standards of performance and quality. Your car deserves the best.
