Adding Ford Ranger wheel spacers is safe and they don’t mess up alignment as long as you install them correctly. The main factors involved in setting the alignment to specification are caster, camber, and toe. Once they are set up properly, the direction and the angles that the tires point in are fixed. So, you don’t need an alignment if you just install Ford wheel spacers.
Installing Ford Ranger wheel spacers is a simple process and most knowledgeable customers can install them without problems. If you would like to save that money, you can install spacers yourself. If you never install spacers before, it is recommended to have a professional install those spacers for your vehicle. In this post, we will list some factors to help you use them safely.
Pro Tips to Properly Torque Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers
Every time you perform routine maintenance, remember to check the condition of the lug nut tightness. Here are some expert tips of correctly torquing Ford Ranger wheel spacers:
Clean the Thread:
When torquing the lug nuts, make sure that the stud and nut threads are clean and dry with no oil, or grease. Don’t apply lubrication to the wheel’s hardware.
Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the Ford Ranger wheel spacers to proper torque specs. The REFERENCE torque specs on the Ford Ranger wheel spacers will be 83.3 ft-lbs for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lbs for M14 bolts.
Since some wheels or applications require more or less tightening torque, it’s best to consult a tire expert to find out the exact torque spec before operating. Every time you perform tire maintenance, you can double-check the torque on the wheel spacers just to be safe.
Proper Sequence:
Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts in a crisscross sequence. Properly torquing Ford wheel spacers is critical to ensuring wheel assembly rides smoothly, forces evenly, and performs as expected.
Re-torque:
It is always a great idea to re-torque the Ford Ranger wheel spacers after 50-100 miles of driving. Regularly inspect the tightness of the lug nuts.
Who Sells the Best Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers?
Over 3000+ times of professional measurements, drawing updates, size precision upgrades, and installation tests, BONOSS makes the best Ford Ranger wheel spacers. All BONOSS forged wheel spacers are built strictly to meet international standards that can improve the quality of your own driving experience. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers a top choice for your wheel upgrades.
1. Verified Active Cooling Benefits
With the same price as most rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers provide an active cooling function. The petal-shaped arc grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacers when rotating.
The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This is good for boosting cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety
2. Precise Hub-centric Design
BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers can create a firm and stable wheel connection. Besides, these spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. Precise wheel spacers guarantee safety, stability, and reliability. They can sit flush up against the vehicle hub and wheel, reducing the chance of wheel vibration.
3. Useful Disassembly Grooves
One standout feature of BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers is the unique disassembly grooves. There are small notches that leave a limited clearance between the brake rotor and the spacer. Set a screwdriver into the notch and apply force at an angle, you can easily remove the spacers.
Final Summary: Happy Modding with BONOSS!
From innovative active cooling benefits to certified materials and precise manufacturing, BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers are engineered to enhance your driving experience with safety, strength, and reliability. Discover the difference with BONOSS—built for drivers who demand excellence.
