Installing Ford Focus ST wheel spacers is one of the most accessible and beneficial modifications. By moving the wheels and tires outward, spacers increase the track width. A wider track means more grip in almost every application. Even you don’t change the OEM tires, a wider track provides better handling and stability.
The Ford Focus ST wheel spacers are used to fix the wrong clearance issues. They are widely and successfully applied for decades. As long as you use genuine quality sets and install them correctly, they are essentially safe and reliable. With so many options available, what sizes Ford Focus ST wheel spacers are best? In this post, we will explore the safe spacer sizes and top brands.
Ford Focus ST Wheel Spacers Size Chart
Thickness:
- 15mm to 20mm: Ideal for a modest adjustment. These spacers start to deliver noticeable stance changes and improved stability.
- 25mm to 35mm: Many people will use middle-size wheel spacers to achieve an aggressive wide stance. They are typically popular among enthusiasts looking for that bold look.
- 40mm to 50mm: Used for specialized wide-body applications. Adding 2-inch spacers provides many advantages, including better stability and rollover resistance.
Wheel Offset:
The Ford Focus ST wheel spacers reduce the wheel offset. Lower offsets make the wheels sit further out. For example, a 20mm spacer will reduce about 20mm offset. A negative offset will make the wheels stick out from the vehicle hub. Depending on the wheel offset, you might need a bigger or smaller spacer to achieve your desired look.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Bolt patterns are specifically set by the manufacturer, helping narrow your wheel spacer choices. Figuring out the correct lug pattern is important before buying a set of alloy rim spacers. For example, the 2011+ Ford Focus ST: PCD=5x108mm, CB=63.3mm, Thread=M12x1.5mm.
Ford Focus ST Wheel Spacers: Bolt-on vs. Slip-on
For most Ford Focus ST cars, tire expert recommend bolt-on type wheel spacers. Bolt-on wheel spacers are bolted to the existing studs with the provided lug nuts and then secure the wheel on the spacer with the stock lug nuts. This ensures a proper thread engagement. You don’t have to change to longer wheel studs.
What Ford Focus ST Wheel Spacers Are Best?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacer manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Focus ST wheel spacers are built strictly to meet international standards that can improve the quality of your own driving experience. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Focus ST wheel spacers are machined with heat dissipation grooves. Distributed in petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Focus ST wheel spacers are made of 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is high-quality aluminum that has excellent corrosion resistance and high toughness. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). They are strong enough to handle various driving conditions.
3. Strong Fasteners for Enhanced Stability
To ensure safety, BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs. These lug studs will undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. The results of those performance tests are great: tensile strength≥1,220 MPa, proof load≥121,000 N. They are all approved by over 75 SGS and TÜV authoritative certification reports.
In Summary: Unlock More Wheel Options with BONOSS
From advanced active cooling advantages to customizable solutions and certified quality, BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Focus ST wheel spacers are designed to provide a safe, reliable, and enhanced driving experience. Choose BONOSS and experience the difference—engineered for those who demand the best.
