With the combination of independent OEM factory, advanced production techniques, autonomous design and abundant actual measuring data, BONOSS produces and guarantees superior and high-performance custom wheel adapters. Here is a request from the owner of a Mercedes-Benz G63. The owner of this G63 would like to change the original 20-inch wheels to new custom Icon 22-inch wheels. But there is an essential problem: the vehicle hub bolt pattern is 5×130 and the new Icon wheels come with a 5×112 bolt pattern. In this case, these Icon wheels can not be mounted on the G63 properly. Installing wheel adapters can make a PCD conversion to keep the 5×112 wheels attached to 5×130 hub firmly.
Custom Made 5×130 to 5×112 Wheel Adapters
One of the common uses for wheel adapters is PCD conversion. As an example, the G63 can also be mounted with wheels that are made with different bolt patterns. The Mercedes-Benz G63 has a 5×130 bolt pattern. People will put a wheel adapter on the G63 that has a 5×130 bolt pattern on the hub side (that will fasten with the matching lug bolts) and the wheel mounting side of the adapter will have matching inner lug nuts on it in a 5×112 bolt pattern. This allows 5×112 custom aftermarket wheels to be attached on a 5×130 G63. Wheel adapters are usually thicker that are built with their own lug nuts. The adapters lug bolts to the OEM vehicle hub, then the wheel is secured to the lug nuts on the adapter with the stock wheel bolts. Two sets of bolts pattern hold the adapter in place.
How does wheel size affect the performance?
Wheel size not only affects the power performance of the car but also affects the stability, comfort level and corner. Therefore, when changing wheels, you can choose some non-original wheels according to your needs. Larger-size wheels can enhance steering experience and high-speed performance. Increasing wheel diameter generally means wider tire width as well, making the contact patch between tires and road larger, thus boosting grip. As the grip increased, body control tends to get sharper and handling usually improves too. But an excessive positive offset will cause the inner edge of your wheel to rub against the suspension components. Installing wheel adapters can create the desired clearance to correct the offset by pushing the wheels away from the vehicle hub.
Custom Materials, Stud Sizes, Color, Decorative Pattern…
We understand that most vehicle owners are very concerned about the quality of the products they use on their vehicles. This is why we only use the highest quality materials. BONOSS manufactures wheel spacers and adapters in stock with high-grade forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 billet aluminum alloy which both feature many desirable properties such as high strength, wear-resistance, excellent toughness, impact resistance and high-temperature resistance. You don’t have to compromise on quality. BONOSS offers a full line of lug studs to suit your custom wheel spacers and adapters including M14x1.5, M14x1.25, M12x1.5, M12x1.25 and M15x1.25, 1/2-20 UNF. The color and decorative pattern of wheel spacers and adapters are also available to be customized. Besides, they are made with modern CNC machinery, precision to 0.02mm tolerance, ensuring that each wheel spacer or adapter fits snugly and securely, and is built to your exact specifications.
