Proper BRZ wheel spacers can help with clearance, ensuring your new wheels fit without rubbing against the suspension or wheel well. Many people would like to apply wheel spacers to achieve a flush style and boost performance. As long as you torque spacers on wheels correctly, you can drive safely and confidently with wheel spacers.
During the installation process, set the torque wrench to the manufacturer’s recommended value. Turn the wrench handle until it reaches the torque mark. Then, tighten each wheel nut a quarter turn at a time in a “star” pattern. When all the wheel lug nuts are properly torqued down, you will feel a click around the head of the wrench.
BRZ Wheel Spacers Installation Pro Tips
Pre-Installation:
- Prepare Tools: You’ll need a jack, torque wrench, and socket set.
- Remove the Wheels: Remove the lug nuts and set the wheels aside.
- Clean the Hub Surface: Make sure the hub surface is clean and free of debris.
- Install Wheel Spacers: Place the wheel spacers onto the hub and tighten the spacer with the provided lug nuts.
Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the wheel spacers to proper torque specs. If you don’t know how much torque for installing spacers on wheels, you can use the following BRZ wheel spacer torque chart: 83.3 ft-lbs (113 Nm)
Proper Sequence:
Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts in a crisscross sequence. Then remount the wheel on the spacer and fasten it with stock lug nuts.
Post-Installation:
After installing BRZ wheel spacers, check and confirm the proper alignment and function of your wheels and tires before driving. It is always a great idea to re-torque the wheel spacers after 50-100 miles of driving. Regularly inspect the tightness of the lug nuts.
What Makes BONOSS BRZ Wheel Spacers the Best Choice?
High-end wheel spacers are produced with top-quality materials to provide optimum performance to the vehicle. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling BRZ wheel spacers undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Safe Upgrades
Based on traditional rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling BRZ wheel spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. These petal-shaped grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously to actively dissipate heat for the braking system. Besides, the edge notches act as air collectors, which tremendously enlarges the airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
Unlike those cheap casting spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling BRZ wheel spacers are exceptionally strong, making them very durable. Due to the super forging process, BONOSS forged 7075-T6 aluminum spacers feature an ultimate tensile strength of 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa). They won’t break easily.
3. Precisely Machined for No Deviation
BONOSS forged active cooling BRZ wheel spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm, which makes the hub-centric lip more accurate, perfectly fits the wheel hub, and provides a snug connection between the wheel and vehicle hub, reducing the chances of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is it necessary to add BRZ wheel spacers on all 4 tires?
A: It is not necessary to add wheel spacers on all 4 tires. Most people use wheel spacers just to accommodate bigger brakes on the front wheels.
Q: Will BRZ wheel spacers allow for larger tires?
A: Wheel spacers create more inner wheel clearance, which allows for fitting a big brake kit without rubbing issues.
Q: Can you use BRZ wheel spacers on stock wheels?
A: Yes, you can put wheel spacers on stock wheels with no problem. Even if you don’t change the OEM wheels and tires, spacers improve the handling greatly.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Vehicle with BONOSS
With these outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling BRZ wheel spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the ride quality, choosing BONOSS ensures that you get a product that meets the highest standards of performance and quality.
