It is safe to use spacers on wheels. Make sure you get a high-quality set and install them correctly. Countless successful cases prove that wheel spacers are safe for sedans, SUVs, and trucks. For decades, many well-known wheel fabricators have provided spacers with no concerns. Many tire technicians will agree that proper wheel spacers will be a good idea to fit wider wheels and encounter clearance issues.
During the installation, use a good torque wrench to torque the wheel nuts/bolts to the correct foot-pounds of force. This ensures the spacers are properly mounted on wheels. As long as you use high-quality ones and install them properly, it is very safe to use spacers on wheels for daily commuters or even a patch of off-roading now and again.
When it comes to choosing the best spacers on wheels, consider these factors:
- Brand reputation and product warranty
- Precise fitment for your specific car model
- Thickness that meets your requirements
- Hub-centric or lug-centric construction
- Quality of materials and process
- Additional function and customer support
Are Wheel Spacers Safe at High Speeds?
Yes, it is safe to use spacers on wheels at high speeds. In fact, many people use spacers for rally racing because of the added traction and grip benefits. Even some famous aftermarket wheel manufacturers offer wheel spacers to fit their wheels. Generally, hub-centric wheel spacers ensure that your wheels are properly centered and fastened. Get high-quality hub-centric wheel spacers and have them installed by professionals, then there is nothing to worry about.
For connection components like wheel spacers, the higher the precision of the contact face, the better the spacers will fit, thus, the safer your driving will be. Particularly, the precision of BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers has reached 0.02mm. Such precise BONOSS forged hub-centric wheel spacers provide high surface integrity, effectively guarantee safety, stability, and reliability, and ensure the smooth operation of vehicle wheel parts.
Are Wheel Spacers Safe on Trucks?
As long as you install them correctly, high-quality brand wheel spacers are safe on trucks. Basically, wheel spacers are mounted on the wheel assembly and the wheels are installed on the spacers. So long as you torque them correctly, the wheel lugs can apply a proper clamping force to fasten the spacer and wheel. This is the same as installing new offset wheels. Done properly, running wheel spacers will be fine for years without any problems.
What’s better, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers provide ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs. These BONOSS ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. The results of those performance tests are great: tensile strength≥1,220MPa; ultimate tensile load≥152,000N; proof load≥121,000N. They are all approved by over 66 SGS and TÜV authoritative certification reports. Such BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are exactly safe on trucks.
Is It Safe to Double Stack Wheel Spacers?
It is NOT safe to double stack spacers on wheels. Because putting a wheel spacer on another spacer will negatively affect the stability of the spacers. It is always a good idea to use one-piece wheel spacers of proper thickness. Safety, precision, lightweight, and the best experience are what sets apart BONOSS from other spacer manufacturers. A key advantage of BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers is the active cooling feature.
Distributed in petal shape, these air grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer when rotating. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This enhances the heat dissipating efficiency and improves road safety.
