If you are a Subaru BRZ owner who loves to customize your car, you might have considered installing wheel spacers. Wheel spacers are devices that fit between the hub and the wheel, increasing the distance between them. This can improve the appearance, performance and handling of your car, as well as allowing you to fit wider tires and wheels.
But how do you choose the right size of wheel spacers for your Subaru BRZ? There are many factors to consider, such as the bolt pattern (PCD), the hub bore (CB), the offset and the clearance. Generally, the PCD of 2023 Subaru BRZ is 5×100, and the CB is 56.1. But in this post, we will focus on one of the most important aspects: the size of the wheel spacers.
The size of the wheel spacers refers to the thickness of the device, measured in millimeters or inches. The thicker the wheel spacer, the more it pushes the wheel outwards from the hub.
What thickness 2023 Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are best?
It is essential to choose a size that suits your personal preferences and needs. The best way to do this is to measure the gap between your wheel and fender, and use that as a guide to select a wheel spacer size that fills that gap without causing any issues.
To measure the gap, you will need a straight edge (such as a ruler or a level) and a measuring tape. Follow these steps:
- Park your car on a flat surface and make sure it is unloaded and at normal ride height.
- Place the straight edge vertically against the fender lip, making sure it is perpendicular to the ground.
- Measure the distance from the straight edge to the outer edge of your tire or wheel (whichever sticks out more).
- Repeat this process for all four wheels and note down the measurements.
The measurements you get are the maximum thickness of wheel spacers you can install without causing any rubbing or interference issues. However, you might want to leave some margin for error and choose a slightly thinner size to account for any variations in tire pressure, suspension movement or wheel alignment.
For example, if you measure a gap of 25 mm at the front wheels and 20 mm at the rear wheels, you might want to choose 20 mm wheel spacers for both axles to ensure a uniform look and avoid any potential problems.
Of course, this is just a general guideline and not a definitive rule. You might have other factors to consider, such as your driving style, your tire size, your suspension setup or your aesthetic preferences. Ultimately, you should choose a size of wheel spacers that makes you happy and confident with your Subaru BRZ.
Which 2023 Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are best?
I recommend BONOSS 2023 Subaru BRZ wheel spacer. They are reliable and price-affordable. Made from aerospace degree 7075-T6 or 6061-T6, they are one-piece forged billet aluminum, hard and tough. The equipped wheel studs are ISO grade 12.9. All the performances have been certified by SGS and TUV. Safety is guaranteed. The fitment of these Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are also perfect. All of them are produced based on precise measurements and can be put onto the hub snugly. If you mount them onto your BRZ, you never face the issue of vibration or wobble.
Besides, BONOSS 2023 Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are anodized. Under the corresponding electrolyte and specific process conditions, the surface of spacer forms an oxide film due to the action of the applied current. This surface can prevent rusting and provide a pretty black outlook. Some spacers which run a long term, cause the vibration because the rust creates gaps. This process aids on prolonging the life of spacers and wheel assembly.
We hope this post has helped you understand what size 2023 Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are best for your car. If you have any questions or need any assistance with choosing or installing wheel spacers, feel free to contact us at any time. We are always happy to help!
