The GX470 wheel spacers are wheel accessories for wheel style and performance upgrades. By moving the tires out about several millimeters, they provide a wider stance. Spacers fill the wheel wells nicely without looking overdone. They also increase the track width. The tires have a greater track width to provide better stability while cornering.
Besides, they have positive effects on handling and performance. When it comes to choosing the best GX470 wheel spacers, it’s essential to consider your driving habits and preferences. Whether you’re seeking a subtle enhancement or a more pronounced upgrade, there are 3 factors to help you make a wise decision.
How to Pick the Best GX470 Wheel Spacers?
Thickness:
Knowing how much the fender gap helps you choose the correct GX470 wheel spacers. Take a straight edge and place it against the outermost part of the rims/tires, then measure from the outside wheel to the fender line. Repeat this on the front and rear wheels and you’ll soon get the perfect thickness.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
To ensure a safe fit, the spacer bolt pattern must be the same as the vehicle lug pattern. Double-check the vehicle bolt pattern in your owner’s manual before buying a set. Here is a brief guide to the bolt pattern (PCD) and center bore (CB) of a Lexus GX470 (J120): PCD=6×139.7mm, CB=106mm, Thread=M12x1.5mm.
Wheel Spacer Types:
There are different GX470 wheel spacers: bolt-on ones and slip-on ones. The bolt-on spacers are bolted to the vehicle studs and following the wheels are secured on the spacers with provided lug nuts. They are thicker like 25mm to 50mm.
On the other hand, slip-on spacers simply slide over your existing wheel studs, secured by a set of new longer studs. So, these GX470 wheel spacers are thinner in thickness, like 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm spacers.
What Make BONOSS GX470 Wheel Spacers the Best Choice?
High-end wheel spacers are produced with top-quality materials to provide optimum performance to the vehicle. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling GX470 wheel spacers are made of advanced machinery and undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
BONOSS forged active cooling GX470 wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves. Distributed in petal-shape, these 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 helpful in enhancing the brake heat dissipation effect, and improving road safety.
2. Hub-centric Design for Enhanced Reliability
In order to further optimize the hub-centric connection, BONOSS forged active cooling GX470 wheel spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. What’s better, the precision of BONOSS wheel spacers has reached 0.02mm. Precise hub-centric wheel spacers provide high surface integrity, effectively guarantee safety, stability, and ensure the smooth operation of vehicle wheel parts.
3. High-strength Fasteners for Improved Safety
To ensure safety, make sure the spacer wheel studs are strong enough. BONOSS forged active cooling GX470 wheel spacers come with ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs. These wheel studs are approved by SGS and TÜV: tensile strength≥1,220 MPa, proof load≥121,000 N. Arguably, a stronger retention power on the wheel is necessary to properly secure the spacer and wheel in place.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Car with BONOSS
With these outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling GX470 wheel 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.
