If you’re a racing enthusiast and proud owner of a 2025 Subaru WRX, you may have considered using good wheel spacers to enhance your car’s performance and appearance. Wheel spacers create additional clearance between the vehicle hub and the wheel itself. This allows you to fit wider tires and larger brake calipers without rubbing issues.
Additionally, installing good wheel spacers for 2025 Subaru WRX provides many advantages, including enhanced handling, better stability, and rollover resistance. However, before making any modifications, it’s crucial to understand the safety implications, especially on track days. In this article, we’ll explore what factors contribute to wheel spacer safety.
Top 5 Factors to Ensure Good Wheel Spacers Safety
It’s essential to note that not all 2025 Subaru WRX wheel spacers are created equal, and safety depends on several key factors:
1. Bolt Pattern (PCD):
To ensure a safe fit, the spacer bolt pattern must be the same as the vehicle lug pattern. Double-check the vehicle bolt pattern in your owner’s manual before buying a set.
WRX (2014-2025): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=56.1mm, Thread=M12x1.25mm.
WRX STI (2015-2025): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=56.1mm, Thread=M12x1.25mm.
WRX S4 (2014-2023): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=56.1mm, Thread=M12x1.25mm.
2. Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers reduce the offset. Example: If your stock WRX wheel offset is +55mm, then a 20mm spacer will make the final offset +35mm.
3. Torque Specs:
The REFERENCE torque spec for wheel spacers on a 2025 Subaru WRX is 83.3 ft-lbs (113 Nm). This is just a reference value. It’s best to check your vehicle’s manual or consult a professional to find out the exact specifications before operating.
4. Material:
Good wheel spacers for 2025 Subaru WRX are made of high-strength materials like forged 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. For racing cars, aluminum spacers provide a balance of strength and weight. They won’t break easily.
5. Hub-centric:
Hub-centric spacers can create a firm and stable wheel connection. If you often take your WRX to the track, you will eventually need wheel spacers with integrated hub-centric rings to ensure safety.
Who Makes the Best Wheel Spacers for Subaru WRX?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished Subaru WRX spacers 5×114.3 to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the spacers to make sure that they meet the design specifications. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Braking
BONOSS forged active cooling Subaru WRX spacers come with petal-shaped grooves. The grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This is good for performance brakes.
2. Precise Hub-centric for Zero Vibration
BONOSS forged active cooling Subaru WRX aluminum 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 eliminates any kind of vibrations.
3. Full-cone Lug Seat for Improved Stability
What’s better, BONOSS forged Subaru WRX hub centric spacers come with full-cone lug seats. Full-cone seat design allows the studs and nuts to apply enough clamping force to lock the spacers, avoiding any potential loosening risks.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Can you put spacers on spacers?
A: It is NOT recommended to put spacers on spacers. Using a single 25mm WRX wheel spacer instead of stacking 2 pcs of 12mm spacers is the best way to ensure safety.
Q: How often should I torque Subaru WRX spacers?
A: It is crucial to re-torque your good wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance.
Q: Should I put anti-seize on Subaru WRX spacers?
A: It is optional to use anti-seize on wheel spacers. Good wheel spacers for Subaru WRX (like BONOSS spacers) are well-treated in corrosion resistance. This means they won’t easily corrode or get stuck on your vehicle hub.
