The Explorer ST wheel spacers are metal discs that move the wheels outwards from the corresponding vehicle hubs. The wheels and tires are set apart even further, which in return improves the traction and stability. In general, installing Explorer ST wheel spacers to increase the track width boost cornering performance. A car with better handling gives satisfaction to the driver and makes the drive safe and enjoyable.
More stability also improves the rollover resistance. It helps increase the comfort of the passengers. Meanwhile, it adds more clearance to fit larger tires. As long as you use top-quality Explorer ST wheel spacers and install them properly, everything is fine. If you have basic mechanical proficiency, you can install wheel spacers on a Ford Explorer ST wheel yourself and save money.
How to Install Explorer ST Wheel Spacers Safely?
- Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn off the engine, and pull up the handbrake. Make sure that the surrounding environment of the vehicle is safe and free from interference;
- Loosen the lug nuts with a lug wrench in a star pattern (a special socket will be needed if you are using locking lug nuts);
- Use a jack to lift the vehicle, and keep the tires 20mm away from the ground. Place a tripod on the bottom of the vehicle to ensure safety;
- Remove the lug nuts and the wheels. It is a good chance to clean the axle hub. Use rust remover and sandpaper and other tools to clean the rust, debris;
- Align the bolt holes of the wheel spacers with the protruding vehicle studs and then carefully slip the spacers onto the hub assembly;
- Fastening the spacer to the vehicle studs with provided lug nuts. Similarly, use a torque wrench to tighten each lug nut in a star pattern. (The proper torque refers to the owner’s manual);
- Remount the wheel on the spacer (the wheel lug holes pass through the new studs). Use stock lug nuts the secure the wheel. In the same way, torque every lug nut with a torque wrench).
Who Sells the Best Explorer ST Wheel Spacers?
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 wheel spacers for Explorer ST. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. When rotating, these grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer. This is effective in dissipating heat for the braking system. For those who change to performance brakes, these BONOSS spacers are good to go.
2. Forged Aluminum for Improved Durability
BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). When facing bump and impact loads, higher tensile strength can bear greater forces without breaking. Hence, these BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers can operate well in racing events.
3. Full-cone Seat for Firmly Secured
It is always a good idea to keep lug nuts fully in contact with the spacers. In this case, BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers come with full-cone lug seats. The full-cone lug seats provide large contact areas. This allows the lug nuts to fasten the spacers more efficiently and securely.
Final Verdict: Choose BONOSS, Choose Safety and Performance
With a friendly price, BONOSS forged active cooling Explorer ST wheel spacers offer more benefits, such as the active cooling functions, knurling surface, disassembly notches and so on. It’s clear that BONOSS forged wheel spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Your car deserves the best. Unlock your car’s full potential today!
