The BMW E39 wheel spacers are wheel components that reduce wheel offset. Simply put, a 10mm wheel spacer will reduce the 10mm offset, and the wheel will be pushed out 10mm. The lower the offset is, the more your wheel will stick out which is also good for creating a sportier and more aggressive stance.
By pushing the rims out, BMW E39 wheel spacers make the rims and tires stick out a certain distance. This is effective to fit a big brake kit without rubbing issues. As long as you install them properly, it is safe to run spacers. In this post, we’ll examine how to torque BMW E39 wheel spacers correctly and the top brands.
What is the Torque on BMW E39 Wheel Spacers?
The REFERENCE torque on the BMW E39 wheel spacers will be 83.3 ft-lbs or 113 Nm (just for REFERENCE, please inquire with a tire expert). The lug bolts are designed to ‘stretch’ a certain amount when torqued to the specified level.
Before tightening the wheel bolts, make sure that the bolt threads are as clean as possible. Then set a manual torque wrench to the specified torque spec. Tighten each wheel bolt until you hear the ‘click’ sound that indicates you’ve reached the right amount of torque.
Do BMW E39 Wheel Spacers Need A Torque Wrench?
A torque wrench is always the best tool to fasten BMW E39 wheel spacers. Don’t trust that an impact gun can settle everything down. Because it is hard for an impact gun to ensure each wheel bolt is evenly tightened with the same torque.
How Often Should BMW E39 Wheel Spacers Be Torqued?
After installing BMW E39 wheel spacers, check and confirm the proper alignment and function of your wheels and tires before driving. It is always a great idea to re-torque the wheel spacers after 50-100 miles of driving. Regularly inspect the tightness of the wheel bolts.
Who Makes the Best BMW E39 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 wheel 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 BMW E39 wheel spacers a top choice.
1. Lightweight plus for Better Experience
BONOSS forged lightweight plus BMW E39 wheel spacers apply an optimized “Hollow Carved” design. Due to these hollow holes, the average weight of each spacer is more than 20% lighter than the previous-gen product. Installing such lightweight wheel spacers wouldn’t noticeably affect the acceleration.
2. Forged Aluminum for Improved Durability
All BONOSS forged lightweight plus BMW E39 wheel spacers are made of top-quality 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa, and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (AL7075-T6). The forging process eliminates the porosity, ensuring structural integrity. This makes them not easy to break.
3. Knurling Surface for Better Experience
BONOSS forged lightweight plus BMW E39 wheel spacers are finished with a textured surface on the sides. The knurling surfaces can enhance the aesthetics by introducing an attractive pattern to their surface. This eliminates internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties.
In Summary: Safely Boost Your Car Performance with BONOSS
With BONOSS’s effective lightweight plus design, superior forged materials, and certified quality, BONOSS forged lightweight plus BMW E39 wheel spacers are undoubtedly the best choice for your wheel style upgrading project. Choose BONOSS and experience the difference—engineered for those who demand the best.
