If you want to slightly enhance the performance, aesthetics, and handling of your car, 10mm spacers are often a topic of interest. Wheel spacers create additional clearance between the wheels and vehicle assembly hubs, providing a more aggressive stance, improved stability, and even better cornering performance. Many car enthusiasts wonder, “Are 10mm wheel spacers safe to use?” The answer is a resounding yes—when installed and used properly.
Normally, 10mm spacers are too thin to come with pressed-in wheel bolts. So, for a proper installation, you need longer wheel bolts for 10mm spacers. This leads to another question: What size bolts do I need for 10mm spacers? This blog delves into the benefits, safety considerations, and best practices to help you make an informed decision.
How Long Wheel Bolts Do I Need for 10mm Spacers?
Simply, 10mm spacers occupy about 10mm bolt thread which stops the OEM wheel bolts from engaging the full thread. On this basis, if the OEM wheel bolt length is 27mm and you get a 10mm wheel spacer installed, it is recommended to use 37mm bolts (stock bolt length + spacer thickness = required wheel bolt length). If you get aftermarket wheels installed, it is better to get new wheel bolts that are a little longer than those.
What Sizes 10mm Spacers Are Best?
The most popular 10mm spacers sizes are 5×112 10mm spacers, 5×120 10mm spacers, 10mm spacers 5×114.3, and 4×108 10mm spacers. Wheel lug pattern is one of the keys to identifying wheel dimensions. When installing wheel spacers you have to confirm the correct lug pattern. The 10mm spacer must have the correct bolt pattern to match your vehicle’s hub and wheel. Incorrect fitment can lead to improper load distribution and potential wheel detachment.
Why BONOSS 10mm Spacers Stand Out?
When it comes to the best 10mm spacers for your car, safety and performance should be the top priorities. That’s where BONOSS forged lightweight plus wheel spacers come in. With advanced technology and a commitment to quality, BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.

Adding such a small, lightweight component won’t affect the speed or hurt the suspension parts.
2. Top-quality Materials
For the ultimate performance, BONOSS has been offering forged aluminum alloy wheel spacers in the aftermarket for over 10 years. Starting from a billet of 6061-T6 or even a special 7075-T6 aluminum, these aircraft quality alloys are forged with up to 3000 tons of pressure. These BONOSS 10mm spacers won’t break even under hard driving.
3. ISO Grade 12.9 Wheel Bolts
High-strength wheel bolts ensure a strong wheel-spacer-hub connection. BONOSS provides ISO grade 12.9 wheel bolts for safely securing your 10mm spacers. These wheel bolts are made of high-strength forged SCM440 alloy steel. They perform well in many tests: tensile strength≥1,220 MPa, ultimate tensile load≥152,000 N, and NSS≥500H.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is It OK to Use Universal 10mm Spacers?
A: It is not recommended to use universal spacers. Universal spacers will leave a certain gap between the wheel-to-hub connection, leading to vibrations. Specific wheel spacers are the best option for specific vehicles. Based on 1000+ actual measuring and 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS 10mm spacers are hub-centric and vehicle-specific. They will fit your car perfectly.
Q: What Cars Can Fit 10mm Spacers?
A: There are a lot of vehicles that fit 10mm spacers, such as the Honda Civic Type R FK8, Acura TL, Audi A4 B9, Audi S3 8P, Ford Focus ST, BMW E90/ F30, E92/ E46/ E36/ E30/ E39/ F80, and more.
Q: How do I install 10mm Spacers?
A: Simply remove the wheels, mount the spacers on the vehicle hubs, and then remount the wheels. BONOSS offers a complete step-by-step installation guide, Please check How to Put Spacers on Wheels.
