The Tesla spacers are very useful in solving tire rubbing issues. People often want an aggressive sporty look with bigger wheels and tires. But nobody wants the tires rubbing when turning. By pushing the wheels outwards, wheel spacers create more clearance between the wheels and hub assembly.
This is effective to avoid the rims and tires hitting the inner fender well. In addition, this is helpful to clear big brake calipers issues. With proper Tesla wheel spacers, you don’t have to spend a large budget on new offset wheels. This blog delves into the top 7 factors of selecting good wheel spacers to help you make a wise decision.
7 Pro Tips for the Best Tesla Spacers
Bolt Pattern:
Only the bolt patterns that match can you achieve a proper wheel fitment. Therefore, it’s crucial to find the right dimensions for your Tesla car before shopping for a new set of wheel spacers. Here is a brief guide to the bolt pattern (PCD) and center bore (CB):
- Model 3 (2017-2026): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=64.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
- Model S (2012-2025): PCD=5x120mm, CB=64.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
- Model Y (2020-2026): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=64.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
- Model X (2015-2026): PCD=5x120mm, CB=64.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
- Cybertruck (2023-2026): PCD=6×139.7mm, CB=84.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
Hub-centric:
Precise hub-centric Tesla wheel spacers won’t cause vibration at high speed. They can create a firm and stable wheel connection. Most OEM wheels are hub-centric, so you need hub-centric wheel spacers to keep the wheels properly secured and balanced.
Wheel Studs:
The wheel studs and wheel nuts apply a clamping force to secure the spacer and wheel to the vehicle hub. Therefore, forged wheel spacers with high-strength wheel studs are generally safer and better for your wheel upgrades.
Quality Material:
The materials play an important role in spacer safety. For performance cars, high-quality forged 7075-T6 aluminum Tesla spacers are preferable as they are strong, durable and light in weight.
Driving Style:
There are two popular materials for manufacturing the best Tesla spacers: 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. If you mainly drive on streets, the 6061-T6 wheel spacers are just enough. If you frequently go racing, forged 7075-T6 spacers are the best option.
Correct Torque:
The REFERENCE torque on a Tesla wheel spacer is 103.5 ft-lbs or 140 Nm. Since some wheels or applications require more or less tightening torque, it’s best to consult a tire expert to find out the exact torque spec before operating.
SGS TÜV Test Reports:
The SGS TÜV test reports ensure the spacers meet safety and performance standards. The best Tesla spacers should provide proper SGS TÜV performance test reports.
Why BONOSS Tesla Spacers Stands Out?
With over 17 years of manufacturing experience and 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the best Tesla spacers. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers a top choice.
1. Extra Active Cooling Advantages
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves allow the air to flow through the brake rotor. This boosts the brake cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum
As the spacer industry develops, the strength of the spacer has been greatly improved. For example, a BONOSS forged 7075-T6 spacer can withstand about 572 MPa stress without breaking. These BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla spacers are just as safe as many aftermarket alloy wheels.
3. Convenient Disassembly Grooves
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla spacers come with small slots. Each notch leaves a limited clearance between the brake rotor and the spacer. With the help of these disassembly grooves, you can simply remove the spacer from the brake rotor. This provides a better user experience.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Car with BONOSS
With those outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the handling, BONOSS provides products that meet the highest standards of performance and quality. Your car deserves the best.
