Installing 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers is one of the easiest and simplest ways to boost your car’s wheel style and performance. Most motorists purchase wheels based on the looks and bolt patterns but often overlook offset. If you get high offset rims, the wheels will stick into the fenders which doesn’t look good. In this case, the 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers will be helpful.
These rim spacers essentially reduce the distance from the wheel center to the hub assembly, thus they can fix wrong offset issues. As long as you use a quality set and installed them correctly, 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers are as safe as offset rims. In this post, we’ll examine the safe wheel offset and some pro tips.
How Much Offset Does 1.5 Hub Centric Wheel Spacers Add?
Technically speaking, the 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers add approximately -38.1mm offsets. This is because wheel spacers essentially reduce the distance from the wheel center to the hub assembly, they subtract the offset. Giving an example, if you get a +60mm offset rim, then 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers change the offset to +22mm (60mm – 38mm = 22mm).
The lower the offset, the more your wheel will sit further away from the suspension, which provides a tough and aggressive wheel stance. Reducing 1.5-inch wheel offset also means increasing about 38.1mm inner wheel clearance. This is helpful in clearing big brake clearance issues. Larger brakes are safely installed, which improves the performance even more.
If you cannot afford a set of low-offset wheels, then hub centric wheel spacers may be a better option. Determine your current wheel offset and calculate the difference from the desired offset. This allows you to choose the perfect wheel spacer sizes.
What is the Torque Spec for 1.5 Hub Centric Wheel Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque spec of the 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers can be 83.3 ft-lb for M12 bolts and 103.5 ft-lb for M14 bolts. 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 wheel nuts properly is one of the most important parts of ensuring wheel and spacer perform as expected.
What Are the Best 1.5 Hub Centric Wheel Spacers for Sale?
If you choose BONOSS forged active cooling 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers, you’re opting for safety, performance, and trusted quality. All BONOSS forged wheel spacers are made by advanced machinery and undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
BONOSS forged active cooling 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers provide an active cooling function. There are petal-shaped heat dissipation grooves that allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the brakes. The heat dissipation grooves can boost the cooling efficiency, reduce brake thermal decay, and improve road safety.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum Materials
All BONOSS forged active cooling 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 billet aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (as strong as aviation aircraft). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking.
3. Knurling Surface for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling aluminum alloy wheel spacers are finished with a textured surface on the sides. The knurling surfaces eliminate internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect.
Final Word: Elevate Your Vehicle with BONOSS
Whether you plan to give your car a more aggressive stance, a better performance, or simply accommodate different aftermarket wheels, BONOSS forged active cooling 1.5 hub centric wheel spacers are a great solution. BONOSS ensures the product meets the highest performance and quality standards. Your vehicle deserves the best.
