If you’re looking to fine-tune your car’s stance and performance, installing 1/2-inch wheel spacers is a smart and popular choice. These spacers adjust your wheel offset and widen the track, improving stability by expanding the tire contact points. The result? Better handling, increased safety, and a more engaging driving experience. For many enthusiasts, wheel spacers offer the simplest and most budget-friendly way to achieve that perfect flush look.
Key Benefits of 1/2-Inch Wheel Spacers
Enhanced Stance: Push your wheels out to fill the wheel wells for a more aggressive, sporty appearance.
Improved Wheel Fitment: Run wider wheels and tires without worrying about fender rubbing. This opens up more customization options.
Better Handling: A wider track means improved stability and sharper cornering.
Increased Brake Clearance: Create extra room for larger brake calipers by moving the wheel away from the hub assembly.
Cost-Effective Solution: High-quality 1/2-inch spacers deliver results comparable to expensive offset wheels at a fraction of the cost.
Finding the Right Fit: Bolt Patterns & Sizing
The 1/2-inch wheel spacers come in various bolt patterns (PCD), including common sizes like 4x100mm, 5x100mm, 5×114.3mm, and many others. Since bolt patterns are vehicle-specific, it’s important to confirm your car’s requirements before purchasing.
At BONOSS, we take the guesswork out of the equation. With over a decade of expertise, thousands of real-world measurements, and continuous design refinements, our 1/2-inch spacers are precision-engineered using CNC machining with tolerances as tight as 0.02mm. Each spacer is custom-made to match your vehicle perfectly.
Torque Specifications: Getting It Right
Proper installation is key to safety and performance. For 1/2-inch spacers, the recommended torque range is typically between 83.3 ft-lbs (113 Nm) and 103.5 ft-lbs (140 Nm), depending on your wheel stud size. Keep in mind that this is a general guideline—some applications may require adjustments. Always consult a professional if you’re unsure. After installation, re-torque the lug nuts after 50–100 miles of driving to prevent wheel vibration.
BONOSS spacers are crafted from high-strength aircraft-grade aluminum (6061-T6 or 7075-T6), ensuring they’re durable enough to handle tough conditions. A premium hard-anodized finish protects against rust and corrosion, making them a reliable, long-lasting upgrade over cheaper alternatives.
