The Ford Ranger tire spacers are designed for functionality and cosmetics. By moving the wheels and tires further from the suspension, wheel spacers create more inner wheel clearance which is good for preventing larger tires from rubbing against the inner fenders, shock absorbers, brake calipers, or other parts.
If you have basic mechanical proficiency, you can install Ford Ranger tire spacers yourself and save money. It is not difficult and some experienced people can complete it within an hour. Here are some expert tips for correctly torquing spacers on your Ford Ranger.
Ford Ranger Tire Spacers Installation Pro Tips
Pre-Installation:
- Lift the car and remove the wheels;
- Clean the entire hub surface, ensuring it is clean and smooth;
- Place the spacer on the hub and ensure it is firmly seated and flush against the hub;
Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the wheel spacers to proper torque specs. The REFERENCE torque specs on the Ford Ranger tire spacers will be 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 Ford Ranger tire 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.
Why BONOSS Ford Ranger Tire Spacers Stands Out?
When it comes to the best Ford Ranger tire spacers for your truck, safety and performance should be the top priorities. From the most basic theory to actual drawing and mapping, BONOSS endows a meticulous heart and strict requirements. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Effective Active Cooling Advantages
Aside from the above functions, BONOSS forged active cooling Ford 6-lug wheel spacers provide the active cooling technique. Distributed in petal shape, the cooling grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates.
The flowing air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This boosts the heat dissipation efficiency of the rotors, reducing brake thermal decay, hence improving road safety.
2. Top-quality Materials
BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger 6×139.7 spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The forging process allows the conversion spacers to have a very high weight-to-strength ratio. Lighter-weight aluminum allows them to operate well at a higher performance in most conditions. As a result, BONOSS PCD spacers are much strong with much less weight.
3. Advance Hub-centric Design
BONOSS makes adjustments to the hub-centric wheel spacers according to the actual vehicle hub design. These Ford Ranger tire spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which effectively reduces any kind of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is it OK to use universal Ford Ranger tire spacers?
A: It is not recommended to use universal spacers. Universal spacers will leave a certain gap between the wheel-to-hub connection, leading to vibrations. Specific wheel spacers are the best option for specific vehicles.
Q: Does brand matter for Ford Ranger tire spacers?
A: Yes, it is important to use reputable brand-new Ranger wheel spacers. Most genuine brand wheel spacers usually come with a warranty.
Q: Do I have to cut studs for Ford Ranger tire spacers?
A: In fact, it is not necessary to cut the stock studs for Ford 1.5” spacers. It depends on how much wheel pockets you have.
