When the wheel offset is not ideal, proper Explorer ST wheel spacers are a good solution. Wheel offset means the distance in millimeters from the wheel’s centerline to the mounting plate. Since the mounting plate can be either in front of, coincide, or behind the centerline, the offset can be either positive, neutral, or negative.
By pushing the wheels out, the Explorer ST wheel spacers can fix wrong offset issues. Simply put, 25mm wheel spacers provide about -25mm wheel offsets. This is because 25mm spacers will push your wheels out 25mm which offers the same effect as a wheel with 25mm less offset than the stock wheels. The Explorer ST wheel spacers can make the wheel offset correct.
Explorer ST Wheel Spacers vs Offset Rims
The wheel spacers and offset rims are two popular solutions to change your car’s wheel stance. But which is better for your Explorer ST? Here are the pros and cons of them:
Flexible Offset:
The offset of a wheel is fixed. If you want to alter the offset, you have to change the entire rims. However, Explorer ST wheel spacers can alter the offset flexibly with the stock wheels. For example, 25mm spacers reduce about 25mm offset and 35mm spacers reduce about 35mm offset.
Budget Friendly:
Wheel spacers provide the same effect as many low-offset wheels, but the price is much lower than offset rims. You can use the savings to buy other upgrading parts.
OEM-like Stance:
The Explorer ST wheel spacers allow you to achieve a perfect flush wheel style while preserving the OEM wheels and tires.
Bolt Pattern Conversion:
The best part of wheel spacers (adapters) is that they can change the OEM bolt pattern to fit many aftermarket wheels. For example, if you use a 5×114.3 to 5×120 PCD adapter, you can fit 5×120 wheels on a Explorer ST with 5×114.3mm bolt pattern.
Who Makes the Best Explorer ST Wheel Spacers for Sale?
BONOSS has the engineering team to measure the specific vehicle more than 3000 times in detail. With 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the most precise Explorer ST wheel spacers. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for More Benefits
At the same price as other spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers come with an active cooling function. Distributed in petal shape, these grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when rotating. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the brakes. This boosts the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay.
2. Knurling Surface for Better Experience
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. BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers boost the whole user experience.
3. Precisely Machined for No Deviation
These BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. The smaller the tolerance value, the higher the accuracy, the better the surface quality, and the higher the reliability. The wheels are well-balanced so that there will be less chance of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Can Explorer ST wheel spacers cause extra wear?
A: As long as you operate properly, the wheel spacers won’t wear out tires. Tire rubbing will happen if the wheel offset does not match.
Q: Will Explorer ST wheel spacers affect towing capacity?
A: No, these Explorer ST wheel spacers won’t affect the towing capacity. Make sure you get high-quality spacers from reputable brand (like BONOSS).
Q: Should Explorer ST wheel spacers be re-torqued?
A: Yes, it is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance.
