As long as you operate a correct installation, high-quality Tesla wheel spacers are safe to use. If you arrange it properly, spacers won’t mess up your car. Appropriately pushing the wheels and tires a bit away from the vehicle hub is advantageous. The more wheel inner clearance allows you to fit a big brake kit.
These Tesla wheel spacers are also useful when the wheel offset is not ideal for the end stance you want to achieve. By increasing the track width, the contact points of tires are expanded, which results in more stability and smoothness. In this article, our expert provides pro tips of safely torque Tesla wheel spacers.
What Is the Torque on Tesla Wheel Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque spec for Tesla wheel spacers is 103.5 lb-ft (140 Nm) for M14 threads. Remember that this is just a reference to the possible torque. Some specific wheels or applications may need more or less tightening torque. It is always recommended to ask a tire professional for help. Because torquing lug nuts properly is one of the most important parts of ensuring wheel and spacer perform as expected.
How to Install Tesla Wheel Spacers Safely?
- Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn off the engine, and pull up the handbrake. Make sure that the surrounding environment of the vehicle is safe and free from interference;
- Loosen the lug nuts with a lug wrench in a star pattern (a special socket will be needed if you are using locking lug nuts);
- Use a jack to lift the vehicle, and keep the tires 20mm away from the ground. Place a tripod on the bottom of the vehicle to ensure safety;
- Remove the lug nuts and the wheels. It is a good chance to clean the axle hub. Use rust remover and sandpaper and other tools to clean the rust, debris;
- Align the bolt holes of the Tesla wheel spacers with the protruding vehicle studs and then carefully slip the spacers onto the hub assembly;
- Fastening the spacer to the vehicle studs with provided lug nuts. Similarly, use a torque wrench to tighten each lug nut in a star pattern.
- Remount the wheel on the spacer (the wheel lug holes pass through the new studs). Use stock lug nuts the secure the wheel. In the same way, torque every lug nut with a torque wrench.
- It is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance.
Where to Buy the Best Tesla Wheel Spacers?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished Tesla wheel aluminum spacers to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the spacers to make sure that they meet the design specifications. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla wheel spacers are machined with heat dissipation grooves. Distributed in petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Forged Aluminum with Hard Anodized
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla wheel spacers are made of 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. These aluminum alloy rim spacers are protected by naturally occurring oxide film and have incredible corrosion resistance. What’s better is that BONOSS applies a special black hard anodized surface treatment. This ensures a surface of unparalleled corrosion resistance.
3. Disassembly Grooves for Fast Removal
For a better user experience, BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla wheel spacers come with disassembly grooves. The disassembly grooves refer to the small slots on the corner. Simply use a flat-head screwdriver and place it on one notch. Pound a hammer on the screwdriver at a 45-degree angle. It should come off pretty easily.
Final Summary: Elevate Your Wheel Style with BONOSS
With attention to innovative engineering and a relentless pursuit of quality manufacturing, BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla wheel spacers surely give you the perfect wheel style and fitment along with confidence for years of rugged use. Choose BONOSS and experience the difference—engineered for those who demand the best.
