When choosing the best size Polaris Ranger wheel spacers, there are several popular sizes to consider: 1-inch, 1.25-inch, 1.5-inch, 1.75-inch, and 2-inch spacers. Many UTV owners prefer a conservative look, while others aim for a more aggressive stance. Think about how far you want the wheels to sit out from the body.
1-inch Spacers:
1-inch wheel spacers are great for those who want a subtle and beneficial modification. This spacer size provides extra clearance without drastically altering the vehicle’s appearance. Many Polaris Ranger owners start with 1-inch spacers to enhance handling on paved roads and moderate trails.
1.25-inch Spacers:
1.25-inch Polaris Ranger wheel spacers can push the wheels out slightly further. This spacer size is particularly popular for off-road use, as it provides more stability while cornering and better control on rough trails. It also allows for larger tires without rubbing.
1.5-inch Spacers:
If you aim for a bolder, more aggressive stance, 1.5-inch spacers are your best choice. These UTV spacers are ideal for serious off-roaders who need extra clearance and improved track width. It’s vital to choose high-quality hub-centric spacers.
1.75-inch Spacers:
If you have modified the suspension systems, you may need 1.75-inch spacers to avoid rubbing issues. The 1.75-inch spacers create more room between the wheels and the vehicle hub, preventing the tires from hitting the fenders or any other suspension parts.
2-inch Spacers:
2-inch wheel spacers provide ample clearance for oversized tires and create a bold aesthetic statement. They are ideal for a wide-body UTV. Additionally, lifting with 2-inch Polaris Ranger wheel spacers provides many advantages for off-road use, including greater traction, better stability, and rollover resistance.
What is the Bolt Pattern of Polaris Ranger Wheel Spacers?
The latest 1999-2025 Polaris Ranger comes with a 4x156mm bolt pattern. Bolt patterns are specifically set by the manufacturer, helping narrow your wheel spacer choices. For those considering a set of Polaris Ranger wheel spacers to fit new aftermarket wheels, it’s important to understand the difference between spacers and adapters.
Both will make your Ranger look wider, but adapters also provide new bolt patterns to fit different wheels. For example, with a 4×156 to 5×114.3 wheel adapter, you can install Jeep 5×114.3 wheels on your Polaris Ranger easily and safely. With a more competitive price, BONOSS forged active cooling Polaris Ranger wheel spacers provide additional advantages.
For example, the brake active cooling function. The heat dissipation grooves allow external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This boosts the cooling efficiency. So, they can reduce brake thermal decay and improve road safety.
