The Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers increase the clearance between the wheel and the brake rotor. For those who plan on adding bigger brake calipers, wheel spacers will be a very useful solution. Besides, the custom conversion spacers (wheel adapters) allow you to change the Jeep OEM 5×127 bolt pattern to another bolt pattern.
This expands your choices of aftermarket wheels. For example, a 5×5.5” (5×127) to 5×4.5” (5×114.3) wheel adapters allows you to use 5×4.5” wheels on your Jeep Wrangler JL/ JK. One of the most frequently asked questions is: What sizes are best for my Jeep? In this post, we’ll examine the safe sizes for off-roading.
Top 3 Factors to Choose Right Jeep Wrangler Wheel Spacers Sizes
1. Thickness:
Generally, you can use 1/2-inch to 2-inch wheel spacers for a Jeep Wrangler with no problems. Here are the pros and cons of each size:
- 10mm to 12mm: Ideal for those who need extra wheel clearance to clear larger brake calipers
- 25mm to 30mm: Ideal for driving on city streets and occasional off-road adventures.
- 35mm to 40mm: Ideal for fitting AT tires without rubbing issues. Achieving the best look.
- 45mm to 50mm: Ideal for fitting a lift kit without rubbing against the shock absorbers.
2. Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers reduce the offset. For example, if your stock wheel offset is +44.5mm, then a 38.1mm spacer will make the final offset +6.4mm (44.5-38.1=6.4).
3. 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:
- Wrangler JL (2019-2025): PCD=5x127mm, CB=71.5mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
- Wrangler JK (2008-2025): PCD=5x127mm, CB=71.5mm, Thread=1/2”-20 UNF.
- Wrangler YJ/ TJ (1987-2007): PCD=5×114.3mm, CB=71.5mm, Thread=1/2”-20 UNF.
What Makes BONOSS Jeep Wrangler Wheel Spacers the Best Choice?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacers manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling Jeep Wrangler 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. Advanced Active Cooling Technology
BONOSS forged active cooling Wrangler wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves behind the spacers boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
Brakes tend to fail quickly when cooling efficiency is poor. To some extent, BONOSS forged active cooling Jeep Wrangler hub spacers extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum Material
While maintaining lightweight, guaranteeing absolute strength and reliability is a priority. All BONOSS forged hub-centric Jeep Wrangler PCD spacers are made of 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The ultimate tensile strength of these two aluminum alloys are:
- Forged 6061-T6 spacers: 42000-45000 psi (300-310 MPa);
- Forged 7075-T6 spacers: 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa).
A high-strength spacer can withstand more stress without breaking. Precise hub-centric construction provides a stable wheel connection.
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 73 SGS and TÜV authoritative certification reports.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Are Jeep Wrangler spacers legal?
A: Generally, the Jeep Wrangler spacers are legal and allowable in most countries and regions. The legality of wheel spacers varies depending on the country, state, or region you reside in, but quality wheel spacers with proper installation are basically legal.
Q: Is it hard to remove Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers?
A: No. With the disassembly grooves, it is easy to remove BONOSS JL wheel spacers.
Q: How often should I check the torque?
A: It’s a good idea to check the torque periodically, especially if you frequently go off-roading. Checking every 3,000 to 5,000 miles can help maintain optimal safety.
