These five lug wheel spacers are wheel parts that increase the track width. 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. Generally, vehicles prefer to have wider track widths to reduce the rolling tendency and enhance stability.
In addition, by installing proper five-lug wheel spacers on all 4 tires, you can easily make the vehicle look sporty and aggressive. If you have basic mechanical proficiency, you can install wheel spacers on a car yourself and save money. It is not difficult and some experienced people can complete it within an hour.
Five Lug Wheel Spacers Installation Pro Tips
Pre-Installation:
- Prepare Tools: You’ll need a jack, torque wrench, and socket set.
- Remove the Wheels: Remove the lug nuts and set the wheels aside.
- Clean the Hub Surface: Make sure the hub surface is clean and free of debris.
- Install Wheel Spacers: Place the wheel spacers onto the hub and tighten the spacer with the provided lug nuts.
Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the wheel spacers to proper torque specs. If you don’t know how much torque for installing spacers on wheels, you can use the following five lug wheel spacer torque chart:
- M12 lug nuts or studs: 83.3 ft-lbs (113 Nm)
- M14 lug nuts or studs: 103.5 ft-lbs (140 Nm)
Proper Sequence:
Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts in a crisscross sequence. Then remount the wheel on the spacer and fasten it with stock lug nuts.
Post-Installation:
After installing five-lug 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 lug nuts.
Why BONOSS Five Lug Wheel Spacers Stands Out?
When it comes to the best five lug wheel spacers, safety and performance should be the top priorities. From the most basic theory to actual drawing and mapping, BONOSS endows a meticulous heart and strict requirements. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Effective Active Cooling Advantages
Aside from the above functions, BONOSS forged active cooling five lug wheel spacers provide the active cooling technique. Distributed in petal shape, the cooling grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates.
The flowing air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This boosts the heat dissipation efficiency of the rotors, reducing brake thermal decay, hence improving road safety.
2. Top-quality Materials
BONOSS forged active cooling 5-lug spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The forging process allows the conversion spacers to have a very high weight-to-strength ratio. Lighter-weight aluminum allows them to operate well at a higher performance in most conditions. As a result, BONOSS PCD spacers are much strong with much less weight.
3. Advance Hub-centric Design
BONOSS makes adjustments to the hub-centric wheel spacers according to the actual vehicle hub design. These five lug wheel spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which effectively reduces any kind of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is it OK to use universal five lug wheel spacers?
A: It is not recommended to use universal spacers. Universal spacers will leave a certain gap between the wheel-to-hub connection, leading to vibrations. Specific wheel spacers are the best option for specific vehicles.
Q: Does brand matter for wheel spacers?
A: Yes, it is important to use reputable brand-new wheel spacers. Most genuine brand wheel spacers usually come with a warranty.
Q: Do I have to cut studs for five lug wheel spacers?
A: In fact, it is not necessary to cut the stock studs for 1.5-inch wheel spacers. It depends on how much wheel pockets you have.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Car with BONOSS
With these outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged five lug wheel spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the handling, choosing BONOSS ensures that you’re getting a product that meets the highest standards of performance and quality. Your car deserves the best.
