The GR86 spacers are useful to improve aesthetic appeal and enhance handling. Spacing out your wheels boosts the overall look of your cars. A vehicle that installs the wheel spacers gets an aggressive and personalized look due to the pushing outside of the wheels. Wheel spacers increase your track width.
With the improvement of traction, the resistance to rollover is enhanced, and the comfort level of handling the vehicle improves a lot. By pushing out the wheels, you can gain the ideal amount of clearance for larger brake calipers and wider tires. In this post, we’ll discuss the best GR86 spacers types and the top spacer brands.
Best GR86 Spacers: Steel vs Aluminum
There are a few differences between steel spacers and aluminum spacers:
Steel wheel spacers are strong but heavy. Due to natural oxidation, steel wheel spacers have a higher tendency to corrode. Although this can be prevented by coating the spacer with a black oxide coat or others, the cost will rise, meaning they are also very expensive.
Aluminum GR86 spacers are much lighter than steel ones. They are still fairly strong and durable. Lightweight aluminum wheel spacers make vehicles easier to control. Well-produced aluminum wheel spacers will promote durability and even lighter weight.
Top Picks of GR86Spacers
There are two popular materials for manufacturing high-strength GR86 spacers: the 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. But which type is the best? Let’s have a look at what experts pick:
- Daily Drivers: For those who mainly drive on streets, the 6061-T6 wheel spacers are just enough. They can withstand certain impacts without cracking.
- Racing Enthusiasts: For those who frequently go racing, forged 7075-T6 spacers are the best option. The 7075-T6 aluminum spacers are less likely to break, even under hard driving.
Why BONOSS GR86 Spacers Stand Out?
If you choose BONOSS forged wheel spacers, you’re opting for safety, performance, and trusted quality. All BONOSS forged active cooling GR86 spacers are made of 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 More Adventures
BONOSS forged active cooling GR86 spacers improve brake cooling efficiency. The heat dissipation grooves send the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. It would be better if the spacers can solve the rubbing problem and provide more functions.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum for Guaranteed Safety
For the ultimate performance, BONOSS forged active cooling GR86 spacers are made of billet aluminum 6061-T6 or even a special 7075-T6 aluminum, these aircraft quality alloys are forged with up to 3000 tons of pressure. The ultimate tensile strength results of these two aluminum alloys are:
- Forged 6061-T6 spacers: 42000-45000 psi (300-310 MPa);
- Forged 7075-T6 spacers: 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa).
Such BONOSS forged active cooling GR86 spacers won’t break even under hard driving.
3. Strong Fasteners for Zero Loosen
To safely secure the spacers, BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs (tensile strength≥1,220 MPa) and ISO grade 10 wheel nuts (proof load≥1,110 MPa). They are meticulously coated with Dacromet. This type of coating gives neutral salt spray resistances exceeding 500 hours. They won’t break easily.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Car with BONOSS
With those outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling GR86 spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the handling, BONOSS provides products that meet the highest standards of performance and quality. Your car deserves the best.
