Whether you need 4 or 2 wheel spacers depend on your personal preference and actual requirement. Installing wheel spacers is one of the most popular and effective ways to achieve an even more aggressive and wider stance. They essentially push your wheels out further from the hub, creating a wider track width.
A wider track enlarges the support surface of the vehicle, hence improving the performance in the curve. Proper hub-centric wheel spacers improve stability and handling greatly. The enhanced stability means better rollover resistance when driving in unfavorable conditions, reducing risks.
Do You Put Spacers on All 4 Tires?
Every car would leave a certain wheel gap for slight changes in tire size. Sometimes, the rear wheel gap is more than the front. If you want to keep this wheel style, it is better to put wheel spacers on all 4 tires. But it doesn’t mean all 4 pieces of wheel spacers should be the same thickness. For four aftermarket wheels, 4 pcs of wheel spacers will make them fit perfectly.
Can I Put Spacers on Just Front Wheels?
Yes, you can put spacers on just front wheels. Some vehicles have more wheel gap at the front than the back. Having wide front track width is for the reasons of traction and the flush stance. For the front wheels, pushing the rims outward means having more inner wheel clearance to accommodate bigger brake calipers or wider tires.
Can I Run 2 Wheel Spacers on Rear Only?
On the other hand, some vehicles have more wheel gap at the rear than the front. If you would like to achieve a perfect flush stance, you can run 2 wheel spacers on the rear only. In a front- or rear-wheel-drive vehicle, as long as both 2 wheel spacers are the same thickness and the suspension geometry is set up to accommodate this, the vehicle will operate fine.
Do 2 Wheel Spacers Come in Pairs?
Most dealers sell 2 wheel spacers as a pair. This is because the same two spacers keep the wheels looking equally spaced in the wheel wells. When you are changing the size of the wheels, the overall diameter of the tire and wheel assembly must remain the same to keep the proper settings.
In simple words, if one front wheel needs a 15mm spacer, it would make sense that the other front wheel on the opposite side would also need a 15mm spacer. Always stick to reputable brand wheel spacers, and there will be no problems. For those who upgrade to performance brakes, these BONOSS forged active cooling spacers are good to go.
BONOSS designs rim spacers to work optimally together to improve the car’s performance. Based on traditional tire spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with more useful designs, such as active cooling grooves, knurling surfaces, disassembly notches, and so on.
Are 2 Wheel Spacers Worth It?
If you intend to get 2 wheel spacers, always choose top-quality ones. BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. When rotating, these grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system.
There are small notches that are distributed on the corner of BONOSS forged active cooling 2 wheel spacers. These notches act as air collectors which tremendously enlarges the airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect, and improving road safety. When it comes to the brake system, apart from braking capacity, heat dissipation is another important aspect. In short, BONOSS forged active cooling aluminum wheel spacers are good for your performance brakes.
