Installing Tesla Model S wheel spacers to clear tire rubbing has been a normal practice among many enthusiasts. Generally, aftermarket wheels come with different offset and backspaces. When installing wider tires, you have to consider clearance for the suspension and fenders. Fortunately, Tesla Model S wheel spacers can solve most clearance problems easily and quickly.
Typically, performance brake calipers require more space to fit. By moving the rim out a few distance, these Tesla Model S wheel spacers can easily solve big brake clearance issues. Aftermarket wheel spacers usually vary in types and materials. With so many options available, what Tesla Model S wheel spacers are best? In this post, we will explore the safe spacers and top brands.
2026 Top Picks of Tesla Model S Wheel Spacers
Precise Products:
A vehicle-specific spacer is designed to fit your vehicle and only your vehicle. Figuring out the correct bolt pattern (PCD) of spacers is the first step when researching and shopping for wheel spacers. For example, the 2026 Tesla Model S: PCD=5x120mm, CB=64.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
High-quality Material:
The materials play an important role in spacer safety. For racing events, high-quality forged 7075-T6 aluminum spacers are preferable as they are strong, durable, and light in weight. Besides, high-strength wheel bolts are necessary. Experts will install 2026 Tesla Model S wheel spacers with ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs and ISO grade 10 wheel nuts.
Hub-centric Types:
Precise hub-centric spacers won’t cause vibration. They can create a firm and stable wheel connection. Most OEM wheels are hub-centric, so you need hub-centric wheel spacers to keep the wheels properly secured and balanced.
Expert Tips to Install Tesla Model S Wheel Spacers
- Inspect for Loosening: After any racing events, or as part of routine checks, make sure the wheel nuts haven’t come loose. It’s a good idea to check wheel alignment.
- Proper Torque Spec: The REFERENCE torque specs for Tesla Model S wheel spacers are 103.5 ft-lbs (140 Nm).
- Check for Corrosion: If you drive in wet or snowy conditions, inspect spacers for signs of rust or wear. Aluminum spacers are highly resistant to corrosion. If you ride a lot, keep the spacers clean.
- Retightening Lug Nuts: Every 5,000-10,000 miles, re-torque your Tesla Model S spacers to ensure everything is secure. This is especially important if you like passionate driving or plan a long road trip.
Who Sells the Best Tesla Model S 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 18 years of manufacturing experience and 1,800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the best Tesla Model S aluminum rim spacers. Here is what makes BONOSS the top choice:
1. Active Cooling with Zero Extra Cost
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S 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.
2. Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum for Safety
Unlike regular street wheel spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S wheel spacers are built with stronger forged 7075-T6 aluminum alloy materials. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa, and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa. Such BONOSS forged active cooling rim spacers are specifically engineered to withstand hard driving.
3. Precision Engineered for Perfect Fitment
The manufacturing precision of BONOSS spacers has reached 0.02mm. Precise wheel spacers provide high surface integrity, effectively guarantee safety, stability, and reliability, and ensure the smooth operation of vehicle wheel parts. Such precise BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S wheel spacers ensure a smooth installation experience.
Final Summary: Upgrade Your Car with BONOSS
From innovative lightweight benefits to certified materials and precise manufacturing, BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S wheel spacers are engineered to enhance your driving experience with safety, strength, and reliability.
