Nowadays, adding hub centric wheel adapters is one of the most accessible and beneficial modifications. By moving the wheels and tires outward, wheel adapters increase the track width. A wider track means more grip in almost every application. Even if you don’t change the OEM tires, the more track width, the better the handling and rollover resistance.
For those who like to put aftermarket wheels on their vehicles, the hub centric wheel adapters are an essential modification. Proper wheel adapters can convert the OEM bolt patterns to fit more aftermarket wheels. But what size of wheel adapters are the best? Let’s dive in to figure the safe offset and top adapter brands.
Hub Centric Wheel Adapters: Choose the Right Size
The sizes of hub centric wheel adapters can range from 1/2-inch to 2-inch. Let’s break down the pros and cons of these sizes:
- 1/2-inch: Ideal for minor adjustments to wheel fitment. They’re a good choice for achieving a subtle improvement in stance or to correct very small differences in offset.
- 1-inch to 1.5-inch: Popular for enthusiasts who want to push their wheels further out from the suspension for a more aggressive stance.
- 1.75-inch to 2-inch: Ideal for pickup trucks, off-road vehicles, and wide-body cars that need more substantial modifications. They are particularly useful when running larger wheels and tires.
What is the Best Offset for Hub Centric Wheel Adapters?
Wheel adapters can fix wrong wheel offset issues. If you need to slightly adjust the offset to make aftermarket wheels flush with the fenders, then adapters are a good idea. For example, if your stock wheels have a +75mm offset, a 25mm adapter will make the new wheel offset 50mm. This gives your vehicle a more aggressive stance and better handling.
Where to Buy the Best Hub Centric Wheel Adapters?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished hub centric aluminum adapters to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the adapters to make sure that they meet the design specifications.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling hub centric wheel adapters 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 adapter when it rotates. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Forged Aluminum with Hard Anodized
BONOSS forged hub centric wheel adapters are made of 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. These aluminum alloy rim adapters are protected by naturally occurring oxide film and have incredible corrosion resistance. What’s better is that BONOSS applies a special black hard anodized surface treatment. This ensures a surface of unparalleled corrosion resistance.
3. Disassembly Grooves for Fast Removal
For a better user experience, BONOSS forged active cooling hub centric wheel adapters come with disassembly grooves. The disassembly grooves refer to the small slots on the corner. Simply use a flat-head screwdriver and place it on one notch. Pound a hammer on the screwdriver at a 45-degree angle. It should come off pretty easily.
