From track days to daily driving, there are many options of hub centric wheel spacers fitment:
For American /Japanese cars:
15-25mm wheel spacers are the best sizes to achieve a perfect flush stance. These hub centric wheel spacers offer a slight aesthetic improvement by pushing the wheels out just enough to fill in gaps but don’t drastically change the stance.
For European cars:
10-20mm hub centric wheel spacers are the best size range for those looking for a subtle stance improvement without significant changes to the appearance. They’re great if you’re only looking for a modest adjustment.
For pickup trucks:
25-40mm hub centric wheel spacers provide a noticeable enhancement in both stability and appearance. These are popular for their versatility, allowing larger tires and slightly more aggressive off-road capabilities without rubbing issues.
Choosing the best hub centric wheel spacers sizes depends heavily on the year and model of your car. For instance, a 15mm spacer may work well on a 2024 BMW M4 with stock wheels, while a 12mm might be better suited for a modified setup on an older model. Besides, if you have changed the OEM wheels and tires, the allowable thickness of wheel spacers varies by your actual fender gap.
Are Hub Centric Wheel Spacers Better?
Yes, hub centric wheel spacers are better than lug centric spacers. Hub-centric wheel spacers machined with central rings. These middle central rings fit snugly around the vehicle’s hub bore. This design ensures that the weight of the vehicle is supported by the hub itself rather than the wheel studs. The hub centric wheel spacers are typically made to specifically match the diameter of the wheel hub bore, allowing for a precise fit.
Hub Centric Wheel Spacers Pros and Cons
More Stable: Since the wheel is centered on the hub, hub-centric wheel spacers provide better stability. This design minimizes the potential wheel vibration and ensures even weight distribution.
No Additional Stress:
Because the hub connection bears the load, hub-centric spacers place no additional stress on the wheel studs. This can lead to longer-lasting wheel components and reduced risk of failure.
Improved Safety:
The snug wheel-spacer-hub connection decreases the likelihood of misalignment. Effectively avoid some safety issues like uneven tire wear or loss of control while driving.
Easy Installation:
Hub centric wheel spacers typically allow for easier installation as they align directly with the hub. This alignment can help avoid complications during wheel installation and removal.
Best Hub Centric Wheel Spacers:
Good hub-centric wheel spacers are designed for the race track that needs specific load requirements. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with multi-stage hub-centric rings. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange perfectly.
This design is effective in eliminating the vibration of wheels. Thanks to actual measurement data from our professionals, these BONOSS forged active cooling hub-centric wheel spacers are vehicle-specific. This means they are made according to your vehicle specification, so you are worry-free about vibration issues.
How to Choose the Best Hub Centric Wheel Spacers Sizes?
Choosing the right hub-centric spacer size depends on your personal preferences and car’s modification. Here are a few tips to help you decide:
Wheel Offset:
The hub centric wheel spacers reduce the wheel offset. Lower offsets make the wheels sit further out. Depending on the wheel offset, you might need a bigger or smaller spacer to achieve your desired look.
Tire Width:
Wider tires can fill the wheel well more, so you may only need a thinner spacer if you plan to use wider tires. On the other hand, narrow tires may require larger spacers to achieve a flush look.
It will surely be best if a spacer can solve the rubbing problem while providing more advantages. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling hub centric wheel spacers come with an active cooling function. Distributed in petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when rotating. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This is good for improving driving safety.
