In a specific case, the Ford and Chevy 5-lug spacer is the same. For example, both the Ford Mustang and the 2025 Chevy Captiva have a 5×114.3mm bolt pattern. But in most cases, they are not the same. If you want to install Ford car wheels on a Chevy car, a wheel adapter is the solution. Wheel adapters are very useful to convert the center bores and change the offset. They are designed to change the OEM bolt pattern and push the wheels and tires out.
These Chevy 5-lug spacers also increase the track width. A wider track means more grip in almost every application. Highly stable handling is a pure gift for a driver. Installing wheel spacers also helps fit bigger tires and larger brakes safely. They serve as the hub extension parts, so they don’t bear the vehicle’s weight. No extra force applies to the tire when installing a spacer. So, as long as you install them correctly, Chevy wheel spacers won’t cause uneven tire wear.
Can Chevy 5-lug Spacers Cause Vibration?
As long as you get high-quality hub-centric Chevy 5-lug spacers installed, there will be less chance of wheel vibration. Generally, hub-centric spacers are machined with center rings in the middle. These hub-centric rings fit perfectly the axle and the space inside the center bore of the wheel. Before choosing a set of hub-centric 5×115 spacers, you should care about these two contact faces: one is the interface between the spacer and the wheel hub of the car, and the other is the interface between the spacer and the wheel.
BONOSS forged active cooling hub-centric Chevy 5-lug spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric rings. The multi-layer design provides the bevels to fit the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps. This effectively ensures a firm wheel connection and better load transition. Additionally, these BONOSS forged active cooling Chevy 5-lug spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. This improves the fit and functionality of spacers. The wheels are well-balanced so that there will be less chance of vibrations.
Will Chevy 5-lug Spacers Corrode?
One of the most important properties of aluminum Chevy 5×115 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. Rust only occurs in iron and other metals that contain iron. Furthermore, the heat dissipation property of alloy Chevy wheel spacers further increases the brake life as well.
To further prevent corrosion in Chevy 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 Chevy tire spacers more durable, decorative, and corrosion-resistant. Further, the black dye not only brings a premium appearance but also tends to be more lightfast. This means that the coatings will not fade easily.
