Nowadays, using Explorer ST wheel spacers is a good practical application for aesthetic purposes and performance upgrades. Spacers create more space between tires to accommodate more modification parts. Whether you are going to add large rims or broad tires, wheel spacers are useful to ensure proper fitment and alter the appearance instantly. Proper-size Explorer ST wheel spacers do not hurt ride quality.
Conversely, they make the ride quality better by widen the track. In general, a wider track means more grip in almost every application. Even if you don’t change the tires, the more track width, the better the handling of curves and swerving, the better the resistance to rollover. With so many options available, what Explorer ST wheel spacers are best? In this post, we will explore the safe spacer types and explain the top brands.
Explorer ST Wheel Spacers: Bolt-on vs. Slip-on
There are two main types of Explorer ST wheel spacers that exist on the market: bolt-on types and slip-on types.
Bolt-on wheel spacers are bolted to the existing studs with the provided lug nuts and then secure the wheel on the spacer with the stock lug nuts. This ensures a proper thread engagement. You don’t have to change to longer wheel studs. Generally, they are regarded as being somewhat easier to install than the slip-on style.
Slip-on wheel spacers directly slide over the wheel studs and sandwiched by the wheel and the vehicle hub. It is critical to ensure your factory studs are long enough for the proper thread engagement. For example, a M14x1.5mm wheel stud requires about 8 full turns of the lug nut. If you cannot achieve this, it is necessary to use extended studs to ensure safety.
What Ford Explorer ST Wheel Spacers Are Best?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacer manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers are built strictly to meet international standards that can improve the quality of your own driving experience. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers are machined with heat dissipation grooves. Distributed in petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers are made of 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is high-quality aluminum that has excellent corrosion resistance and high toughness. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). They are strong enough to handle various driving conditions.
3. Strong Fasteners for Enhanced Stability
To ensure safety, BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs. These lug studs will undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. The results of those performance tests are great: tensile strength≥1,220 MPa, proof load≥121,000 N. They are all approved by over 75 SGS and TÜV authoritative certification reports.
4. Worry-free 10-year Warranty
Every genuine BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST 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 wheel spacers.
