The bolt pattern on a 1993-2020 Lexus GS spacer is 5×114.3mm. Using wheel spacers is a good practical application for aesthetic purposes and performance upgrades. The before and after effects are obvious. It is the most cost-effective and easiest way to widen your vehicle without damaging the ride quality. If you add a 15mm spacer on each tire, then the track width will increase by about 30mm. This is a big improvement for your ride. For example, the wheels sit further away which provides better stability and rollover resistance.
In addition, Lexus GS spacers add more inner wheel clearance. This allows you to install bigger tires and larger brakes safely and nicely. For those who plan on keeping the factory wheels and want to add bigger brake calipers, the Lexus 5×114.3 wheel spacers will be a very useful solution. Additionally, by moving the tires out a few millimeters, they make the vehicle look sporty and muscular. You can achieve such a purpose without replacing the OEM wheels and tires.
What Type of Lexus GS Spacer is the Best?
There are two major types of aftermarket Lexus GS spacers and are based on the manufacturing processes involved. Forged spacers are the safest and strongest of this bunch. BONOSS forged active cooling GS rim spacers are made of top-quality aluminum billets. Due to continuous tons of pressure, the resulting wheel spacers have a high degree of uniformity in the grain structure. That is why BONOSS forged active cooling Lexus GS wheel spacers are much stronger with much less weight.
BONOSS forged active cooling Lexus GS wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. Distributed in petal shape, these grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the Lexus GS spacer when rotating. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the brakes. The heat dissipation grooves behind the spacers boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
Can Aluminum Lexus GS Spacers Break?
Genuine brand aluminum Lexus GS wheel spacers won’t break easily. BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are all made by a super forging process. They undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (AL7075-T6). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking. One of the most important properties of aluminum wheel spacers is that they can withstand corrosion and rust.
Because the aluminum alloy is rust-resistant, meaning it doesn’t degrade due to oxidation caused by iron and oxygen. To further prevent corrosion in wheel spacers, BONOSS applies a black hard anodizing surface treatment. It is ideally suited for aluminum to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetic qualities. This process makes BONOSS forged active cooling aluminum Lexus GS spacers more durable, decorative, and corrosion-resistant.
