There are 1-inch to 2-inch alloy rim spacers available for a 1999-2025 Chevy Silverado 1500. For OEM wheels and tires, 25-35mm is the best size range to give the Silverado 1500 pickup truck a perfect flush look. But you can go a litter thicker spacers to achieve a rugged, powerful, and muscular stance. Since wheel spacers are installed between the wheel hubs and wheels, they push the wheels out a few distance. This increases the track width.
A wider track enlarges the support surface of the vehicle, hence improving the performance in the curve. Proper hub-centric Chevy wheel spacers improve stability and handling greatly. The enhanced stability means better rollover resistance when driving in unfavorable conditions, reducing risks. Simply speaking, if the bolt pattern of your Silverado 1500 is 6×139.7mm, then 6×139.7 wheel spacers are the right option.
What Are Quality Chevy Silverado 1500 Rim Spacers Made Of?
When choosing quality spacers for performance upgrades, aluminum types come as a priority. BONOSS forged active cooling Silverado 1500 wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. Because of good thermal conductivity, these aluminum wheel spacers will dissipate brake heat better. This is good for rims or brakes. They feature nicer designs that add both style and function.
Apart from the base functions of spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Chevy spacers provide more practical advantages. There are petal-shaped grooves carved on the back sides. These heat dissipation grooves allow the 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. These BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers help make brake cooling better.
Will Chevy Silverado 1500 Rim Spacers Affect Towing Capacity?
Getting Chevy rim spacers installed won’t affect the towing capacity. Actually, they are upgrading parts to give your pickup truck better performance as well as a unique look, especially if you’re taking it to off-roading events. To ensure a stable and firm wheel connection, BONOSS forged active cooling Chevy Silverado 1500 wheel spacers come with ISO grade 12.9 wheel studs (tensile strength over 1220 MPa) and ISO grade 10 wheel nuts (proof load over 1,100 MPa). Even facing impacts, these wheel fasteners are not easy to break.
What’s better, these BONOSS forged active cooling Chevy Silverado 1500 rim spacers come with full-cone lug seats. Full-cone seat design provides a larger contact area, more force acreage, and better fitting. This allows the studs and nuts to apply enough clamping force to lock the BONOSS forged active cooling Chevy wheel spacers, avoiding any potential loosening risks. In that case, the axle-spacer-wheel connection can be fastened firmly, meaning no vibration, fewer stress loads, higher safety, and a longer service life range.
