Wheel spacers are aftermarket devices that are installed between the wheel and the hub of a vehicle. They are used to create more clearance for the wheel, the brake caliper, and the suspension components. Wheel spacers can also change the appearance and handling of a vehicle by altering its track width and offset. Lincoln MKC is a compact luxury crossover SUV that was produced by Lincoln from 2015 to 2019. It has a 5×4.25 (or 5×108) bolt pattern and a 63.4 mm hub bore.
Pros of Lincoln MKC wheel spacers
- To fit larger or wider wheels and tires that would otherwise rub against the fender or the suspension.
- To improve the stability and cornering performance of the vehicle by increasing its track width and reducing body roll.
- To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle by filling the wheel wells and giving it a more aggressive stance.
Cons of Lincoln MKC wheel spacers
- To require longer wheel studs or lug bolts to ensure proper thread engagement and clamping force between the wheel and the hub.
- To increase the risk of vibration, noise, or wheel wobble if the wheel spacers are not properly matched to the hub bore, bolt pattern, and thickness of the vehicle.
Therefore, it is important to choose high-quality wheel spacers that are made of durable materials, such as billet aluminum or steel, and that are designed to fit your specific vehicle model and wheel size. You should also consult a professional mechanic or a reputable wheel spacer manufacturer before installing wheel spacers on your Lincoln MKC.
What type of Lincoln MKC wheel spacers can avoid the drawbacks?
The brand that does best in deliberately designing spacers to evade drawbacks and boost performances is BONOSS. Till now, they are the spacer brand with the most global patents and only focus on producing and improving spacer this one product. But how do they evade these drawbacks?
BONOSS Lincoln MKC wheel spacers have a hollow lightweight design. These hollows run through the front and back of spacers and locate between every two adjacent lug seats. They are symmetrical to maintain the balance of the spacer. These aluminum lightweight spacers can minimize the plus stress exerted on the suspension.
BONOSS Lincoln MKC wheel spacers are multi-stage hub-centric. A common hub-centric spacer consists of a lip ring in the center to fit the wheel. If you hold a BONOSS spacer in hand, you can see the lip ring is staged. There are stages and chamfers in most wheel bores and hub bores. Mounting common hub-centric spacers between them is not ‘hub-centric’ enough. To truly ‘hub-centric’ to the wheel and hub, a multi-stage spacer is designed for different car models to fit the chamfers and stages in the wheel bores and hub bores. Thus, these spacers can fit perfectly with the wheel and hub. The vibration and wobble will not gonna appear.
BONOSS Lincoln MKC wheel spacers are stable and safe. They are made from aircraft 7075-T6 or 6061-T6 forged aluminum. Forged aluminum is far more stable and stronger than those cast spacers. Cast spacers are prone to breaking and are incapable to endure the weight of wheel and vehicle suspension. Some YouTubers have recorded them breaking a cast cheap spacer with a hammer. It is a nightmare that the wheels fly away when you are riding on the roads.
