When choosing the best 2 inch wheel spacers, it’s critical to make sure the wheel spacers can fit your car and are strong enough to take advantage of the vehicle’s performance. From daily commuter comforts to off-roading events, there are many choices of 2-inch wheel spacers. This guide contains a list of spacer ranges, including the latest bolt patterns (PCD), center bores (CB), wheel offsets, and spacer dimensions for specific wheel hubs.
Most Popular 2 inch Wheel Spacers Sizes
The most common 2 inch spacers bolt pattern (PCD) sizes are 6×139.7mm, 6x135mm, 5x127mm, 5x120mm, 5x115mm, 5×114.3mm, 5x112mm, 5x108mm, 4×114.3mm, 4x108mm, and more. Wheel fitment requires the bolt pattern of the wheel to match the vehicle. Specific hub-centric wheel spacers for specific vehicle styles. The wheel options are limited since many wheels on the market do not fit the PCD, CB, and offset.
With a wheel adapter, this won’t be a problem. Wheel adapters can change the above factors easily and safely. They come with two sets of bolt patterns. One set is made to the vehicle specification and the other set is machined to another wheel lug pattern. For example, by using a 5×120 to 5×114.3 wheel adapter, you can put 5×114.3mm wheels on a 5×120 vehicle hub quickly and safely.
The Best 2 inch Wheel Spacers Torque Spec
The best torque specs for 2 inch wheel spacers range from 83.3 ft-lbs (113 Nm) to 103.5 ft-lbs (140 Nm). It depends on the thread size of the wheel studs. If your car comes with M12 wheel studs, torque these 2” spacers to 83.3 ft-lbs. If your car comes with M14 wheel studs, torque them to 103.5 ft-lbs. For some wheels or applications, you may need more or less tightening torque.
How to Choose the Best 2 inch Wheel Spacers?
The best 2 inch wheel spacers should be made of forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloys, hub-centric designs, and come with additional functions and a long warranty.
Purpose-Based Material
- Daily Drivers: For those who mainly drive on roads, the 6061-T6 wheel spacers are just enough without cracking.
- Racing or Off-Road Adventures: People who frequently go racing or hit the trails will benefit from 7075-T6 spacers. The 7075-T6 aluminum 2 inch wheel spacers feature a tensile strength that is nearly double that of the 6061-T6 ones. This alloy is one of the strongest types of aluminum available. They are less likely to break even under hard driving.
Considering the strength and rustproof needs, BONOSS forged active cooling 2 inch wheel spacers are the best option. They are made of forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). They are high-performance aluminum alloys that feature good corrosion resistance, weldability, workability, and machinability.
Hub-centric 2 inch Wheel Spacers
For the best performance and safety, it is recommended to use hub-centric 2 inch wheel spacers. Hub-centric spacers are better to keep the wheel centered on the vehicle hub just like the OEM wheels. They are designed to align perfectly with the hub, ensuring even load distribution and minimizing vibration. These are generally considered the safest options for both on-road and off-road applications.
Especially for large spacer sizes like the 2 inch wheel spacers, you absolutely need hub-centric types. BONOSS has earned a reputation as one of the premiere 2-inch spacer suppliers, doing some of the best wheel spacers for sedans, SUVs, and trucks. All BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are built with multi-stage hub-centric lips. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, eliminating any possible gaps and reducing the chance of vibration.
