Using Tesla Model S spacers is a good idea to improve the wheel style and performance. Spacers are installed between the hub assembly and the wheels. With the wheels farther apart, it creates more inner clearance which allows for safely accommodating wider tires and larger brake calipers. Besides, they increase the track width which improves overall handling and cornering.
It usually takes less than an hour to install wheel spacers on your vehicle, but remember, there are still a few things to do before driving your car away. But there are more factors to consider when it comes to installing Tesla Model S spacers properly. To avoid costly mistakes, here are top 3 must-know tips.
Pro Tips to Install Tesla Model S Spacers Correctly
Check If There Is Tire Rubbing:
After installing wheel spacers, park the car on flat ground, rotate the steering wheel to one extreme position, and inspect the wheel well of the tire that’s outside. If there is a rubbing, you will notice clear signs on the internal fender and the liner.
Re-torque Each Wheel Lug Nuts:
After installing new Tesla Model S spacers, you should re-torque the hardware after the first 50 to 100 miles of driving. This is necessary for road safety. Because as the wheels are breaking in, they may compress slightly allowing their lugs to lose some of the torque.
Check If There Is Wheel Vibration:
Generally, quality wheel spacers won’t cause any shaking or vibration. If you were previously able to operate at 90 MPH with no vibration, you don’t need to worry about vibration issues. If you have replaced the wheels, then consider doing a wheel alignment first.
What Make BONOSS Tesla Model S Spacers the Best Choice?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacers manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S 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. Advanced Active Cooling Technology
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves behind the spacers boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
Brakes tend to fail quickly when cooling efficiency is poor. To some extent, BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S spacers extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
2. Advanced Hub-centric Design
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S spacers come 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 means zero wheel vibration. This effectively guarantees safety, stability, and reliability.
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.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Are Tesla Model S spacers safe to drive?
A: As long as you install them correctly, high-quality Tesla Model S spacers (like BONOSS spacers) are safe for daily driving or racing events.
Q: Do Tesla Model S spacers affect ride?
A: Adding wheel spacers is a good way to improve the ride quality. By increasing the track width, the contact points of tires are expanded, which results in more stability and smoothness.
Q: How much are Tesla Model S spacers?
A: Start from $300 for a set of 4. It depends on the brands and materials you choose. For example, BONOSS forged wheel spacers provide more useful advantages at a friendly price.
