Using Audi SQ5 wheel spacers is a good practical application for aesthetic purposes and performance upgrades. Installing wheel spacers to space your wheels out a few millimeters is a way to enhance ride quality. Because now your wheels are mounted further away from the hub assembly, it creates a wider track.
A wider track generally improves grip, which enhances your car’s handling characteristics. These Audi SQ5 wheel spacers enable your tires to better grip the road surface, and the rollover resistance is enhanced. To avoid costly mistakes, we’ll explore the best Audi SQ5 wheel spacers and the top brands.
Audi SQ5 Wheel Spacers: Hub-centric vs Lug-centric
If you ever shopped for Audi SQ5 wheel spacers, you probably come across the terms “hub-centric” and “lug-centric”. After thousands of miles of road testing, our expert confirms that the best Audi SQ5 wheel spacers should be hub-centric types.
Hub-centric wheel spacers fit perfectly onto the vehicle hub and wheel mounting flange. Therefore, the Audi SQ5 wheel spacers are centered by the axle hub and the lugs can hold the wheels stably and firmly. This is a hub-centric connection, which keep your vehicle from experiencing unnecessary vibration.
On the other hand, the lug-centric wheel spacers come with big center holes. When remounting the wheel, there will most likely be a gap between the vehicle hub and the wheel hub flange. Without a firm contact, some fierce impacts are strong enough to unbalance the wheel and deform the wheel bolts, leading to vibration.
How Do I Know if My Audi SQ5 Wheel Spacers are Hub Centric?
The quickest way to know if the Audi SQ5 wheel spacers are hub centric is to look at the middle hub of the spacers and wheel assembly. If the middle hole of the wheel spacer fits snugly against the vehicle hub, then it is a hub-centric spacer. If there is a gap between the center hole of the wheel spacer and the vehicle hub, then it is a lug-centric spacer.
Who Sells the Best Audi SQ5 Wheel Spacers?
There are various wheel spacers in the automotive market, but the BONOSS brand stands out in terms of precision and performance. With over 17 years of manufacturing experience and 1,800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the best Audi SQ5 wheel spacers. Here is what makes BONOSS the top choice:
1. Extreme Lightweight Benefits
As we all know, the lighter the unsprung weight is, the better the handling capabilities. BONOSS forged lightweight plus Audi SQ5 wheel spacers are machined with “Hollow Carved” holes. Compared with the previous production, they are at least 20% lighter. The weight of these BONOSS wheel spacers is quite insignificant, and they won’t damage any suspension parts.
2. Hub-centric with Zero Vibration
In order to further optimize the hub-centric connection, BONOSS forged lightweight plus Audi SQ5 wheel 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 eliminates any possible wheel vibrations.
3. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
BONOSS forged lightweight plus Audi SQ5 wheel spacers are made of 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is high-quality aluminum that has excellent corrosion resistance and high toughness. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). They are strong enough to handle various driving conditions.
