As long as you install them properly, using high-quality 12mm spacers is safe. Sometimes, it’s a simple cosmetic enhancement. Other times, it’s out of necessity due to a new brake or tire size. The best 12mm spacers will improve the handling and stability by increasing the track width. Your tires can grip the road better so that the car does not lose control as easily.
With better handling and stability, your car will be safer on the road. This also helps to boost the comfort of the ride. Higher-quality 12mm wheel spacers tend to offer better safety. They are designed to better bear more impacts and shocks along the road without breaking. But the big question is: what sizes are the best for 12mm spacers? Let’s dive in to help you make a wise decision.
Choosing the Right 12mm Spacers
Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers reduce the offset. For example, if the stock wheel offset is +28mm, then a 12mm spacer will make the final offset +16mm. The wheels and tires will sit out 12mm from the hub assembly, providing a wider wheel stance.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Only the bolt patterns that match can you achieve a proper wheel fitment. Therefore, it’s crucial to find the right dimensions for your car before shopping for a new set of wheel spacers. The bolt patterns have three measurements which are expressed like this: 5x112mm/ 66.5mm:
1. The first measurement, e.g., 5, is the lug number of one wheel in millimeters.
2. The second measurement, e.g., 112mm, is the pitch circle diameter of the wheel in millimeters (also called the PCD); in this case, it is 5x112mm.
3. The third measurement is the center bore diameter of the wheel rim in millimeters (also called the CB), in this case, it is 66.5mm.
Therefore, if you need vehicle-specific wheel spacers, then you should choose 5×112 spacers with 66.5mm hub-centric rings.
Who Sells the Best 12mm Spacers?
With over 17 years of manufacturing experience and 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the best forged lightweight plus 12mm wheel spacers. There are several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Extreme Lightweight Benefits
As we all know, the lighter the unsprung weight is, the better the handling capabilities. BONOSS forged lightweight plus 12mm wheel spacers are machined with “Hollow Carved” holes. Compared with the previous production, they are at least 20% lighter. The weight of these BONOSS wheel spacers is quite insignificant, and they won’t damage any suspension parts.
2. Excellent Anti-corrosion Materials
BONOSS forged lightweight plus 12mm spacers are made of high-strength 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy materials. These 12mm spacers have better thermal conductivity than steel ones. They are much lighter and much better in corrosion resistance.
To further prevent corrosion in wheel spacers, BONOSS applies a black hard anodizing surface treatment. It is ideally suited for aluminum to improve corrosion resistance. This process makes BONOSS forged lightweight plus 12mm spacers more durable and corrosion-resistant.
3. Worry-free 10-year Warranty
Every genuine BONOSS forged 12mm wheel spacer is covered by a 10-year warranty. This 10-year warranty protects the customer’s interest and ensures product quality and safety. It is worry-free to use BONOSS forged lightweight plus 12mm spacers.
