If you’re looking to enhance the stance and performance of your cars, two inch wheel spacers can be a game-changer. But with so many options out there, how do you know which sizes and types are the best option? Let’s dive into the world of two inch wheel spacers and find out what works best for your wheel fitment:
Firstly, let’s quickly cover what wheel spacers are. Wheel spacers are metal discs that fit between the wheel and the hub assembly. They push the wheel outward, increasing the track width of your vehicle. This can improve handling, give your car a more aggressive look, and allow for the fitment of wider wheels or tires. The best two inch wheel spacers for your car should be:
- Sizes: precise bolt pattern and center bore diameter;
- Material: forged 6061-T6 / 7075-T6 aluminum alloy;
- Types: hub-centric types;
- High-strength wheel studs and lug nuts;
- Proper installation and torque specs.
What Bolt Pattern Are Two inch Wheel Spacers?
The bolt pattern (also called PCD) is a crucial factor when choosing two inch wheel spacers. Get this wrong, and your spacers simply won’t fit. For most modern sedans, sports cars, SUVs and pickup trucks, the bolt pattern is 4×114.3mm, 5x100mm, 5x112mm, 5×114.3mm, 5x120mm, 6x135mm, 6×139.7mm, and others.
Here is an example: The bolt pattern of the 2025 Chevy Silverado is 6×139.7mm. This means there are 6 pieces of lug nuts arranged in a circle with a diameter of 139.7mm. When shopping for two inch wheel spacers, you’ll often see the bolt pattern written as “6×139.7” or “6×5.5””. Make sure this matches your vehicle’s specifications.
In addition to the bolt pattern, you’ll also need to know the hub center bore. This is the center hole of the wheel that fits over the hub of your car. Always double-check these specifications for your specific model year and trim level. Using the wrong bolt pattern or hub center bore can lead to unsafe driving conditions.
What Makes the Best Two Inch Wheel Spacers?
High-quality Materials:
Not all two inch wheel spacers are created equally. Poor-quality spacers may lead to wheel wobble and even compromised safety. Generally, forged aluminum wheel spacers are considered the best option. This is because forging offers uniformity of composition and structure. It strengthens the resulting two inch wheel spacers greatly.
For example, BONOSS forged active cooling two inch wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 / 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. This material ensures that your wheel spacers won’t crack or deform under pressure. With a tensile strength of 572 MPa or higher (AL7075-T6), these spacers can withstand significant stress and strain, making them ideal for both everyday driving and more demanding conditions.
Practical Design:
Being a high-end wheel spacer company, it is sure that the designs are exquisite and geared towards improving performance and aesthetics. A key advantage of BONOSS forged wheel spacers is the active cooling feature. These active cooling wheel spacers are designed with petal-shaped grooves. The grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when it rotates.
The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system. In addition, the side knurling design eliminates internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect.
Worry-Free Warranty:
A long-term warranty is a testament to the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. For example, all BONOSS forged wheel spacers provide a 10-year warranty. This warranty reflects the high quality and durability of the spacers, ensuring that your investment is well protected.
