Proper Model Y Performance spacers can always fit a vehicle without hurting anything. Installing wheel spacers is one of the easiest and simplest ways to boost handling. By moving the wheels and tires outwards, they provide better traction, handling, and stability. The wheels are set apart more, providing better traction and improving your car’s grip on the pavement.
With these Model Y Performance spacers, you will experience better control especially when cornering. These wheel spacers are often chosen by drivers who want to upgrade the appearance and handling of their vehicle without making drastic changes. In this blog, we will delve into the good wheel spacers to help you avoid costly mistakes.
Do I Have to Cut Wheel Studs for Model Y Performance Spacers?
No, you don’t have to cut the stock wheel studs for Model Y Performance spacers. Simply speaking, if the wheel pockets are deep enough to contain the protruding studs, there is no need to trim any OEM studs. So, the first thing is to check the inside of the wheels and make sure the mounting plate has pockets machines into it and isn’t solid. Then measure the cavity in your wheels to check out how much it will allow for the stud to go past the wheel spacers.
Remove one wheel and measure how long the OEM wheel stud is (the protruding part of the wheel hub). If the wheel pockets depth + spacer thick ≥ stud length, then these Model Y Performance spacers will fit properly. For example, if the protruding OEM car stud length is 25mm and the wheel pocket depth is 6mm, then you can put 20mm spacers on your Model Y Performance with no problem. It is highly recommended to process this according to the wheel structure and the advice of the experts.
Do I Need Extended Studs for Model Y Performance Spacers?
Generally, 3mm to 12mm wheel spacers need extended wheel studs to ensure proper thread engagement. This type of wheel spacer doesn’t come with pressed-in wheel studs, so you have to replace the stock wheel studs. Tire engineers explain that only if the stud thread is long enough can the studs provide proper clamping force to keep these Model Y Performance spacers and wheels balanced.
What Makes BONOSS Model Y Performance Spacers the Best Choice?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets BONOSS apart from other spacers manufacturers. All BONOSS forged active cooling Model Y Performance spacers are built strictly to meet international standards. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
With the same price as most rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Model Y Performance spacers come with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves behind the spacers can boost the cooling efficiency. This is helpful in reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
2. Forged Aluminum for Improved Safety
BONOSS forged active cooling Model Y Performance spacers are made of forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking. Therefore, forged aluminum wheel spacers with higher tensile strength are safer and better.
3. ISO Grade 12.9 Wheel Studs for Enhanced Stability
The provided BONOSS wheel studs are made of high-strength forged SCM440 alloy steel. They have achieved ISO grade 12.9 standards:
- Tensile strength≥1,220 MPa;
- Ultimate tensile load≥152,000 N;
- Hardness (HV)≥395;
- NSS≥500H.
High-strength wheel studs and nuts ensure a strong wheel-spacer-hub connection. With such high-strength hardware, your hub centric wheel spacers can bear more force without breaking.
In Summary: Unlock Your Car’s Potential with BONOSS
From advanced active cooling advantages to customizable solutions and certified quality, BONOSS forged active cooling Model Y Performance spacers are designed to provide a safe, reliable, and enhanced driving experience. Choose BONOSS and experience the difference—engineered for those who demand the best.
