The Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers are installed between the vehicle hubs and the wheels, moving the wheels and tires outward. This setup allows for accommodating bigger wheels and larger brake calipers based on personal preference or performance needs. They are particularly useful in providing your Jeep Wrangler with a perfect flush look and improved off-roading performance.
These Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers are equipped with wheel studs that are used to secure the spacer to the vehicle assembly hubs. The wheel is then bolted onto the spacer using the stock lug nuts. One major advantage of wheel spacers is that they can change the bolt pattern to fit various wheels. For example, the 5×4.5” to 5×5.5” spacer adapters allow you to change the 5×4.5” bolt pattern (5×114.3mm) to a 5×5.5” bolt pattern (5x127mm).
Jeep Wrangler Wheel Spacers Before and After
Better Appearance:
The Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers increase the track width. A wider stance gives your car a more aggressive and powerful appearance. This aesthetic appeal is often a primary reason enthusiasts opt for wheel spacers. Because the unique look of the wheels being flush with the fenders is attractive.
Enhanced Handling:
The wheels are set further apart, reducing body roll and improving stability. By increasing the track width, spacers boost the handling of curves and swerving which helps your vehicle perform better on the road. This means you’ll enjoy more dynamic and comfortable driving.
More Wheel Clearance:
By pushing the wheels and tires outwards, they create more space to accommodate larger brake calipers, wider tires, and aftermarket suspension components. This is essential for those looking to upgrade their braking system or suspension setup for better off-road performance.
More Advantages:
Some well-made brand wheel spacers provide more useful functions. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with a practical active cooling function. After installation, the petal-shaped heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacer. This is helpful to reduce the heat for the braking system. What’s better, the side knurling patterns can enlarge the side area. This boosts the active cooling effect and also reduces internal stress.
Can You Use Jeep Wrangler Wheel Spacers on OEM Wheels?
Yes, you can use Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers on OEM wheels with no problems. If the wheel pockets are deep enough to contain the protruding studs, you don’t have to cut any OEM studs for wheel spacers. Always get wheel spacers from a reputable brand. Because genuine brand wheel spacers are designed to fit specific Jeep models. This means they have the correct bolt pattern, center bore, and thread pitch, so the spacers will fit perfectly.
For example, BONOSS provides specifically-made forged active cooling Jeep wheel spacers. With over 17 years of manufacturing experience and 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the most precise Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers. These wheel spacers are strictly tested, ensuring that they can withstand years of hard driving without any issues. They are also made from lightweight forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, which makes them very light yet very strong.
Will Jeep Wrangler Wheel Spacers Corrode?
One of the most important properties of aluminum Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers is that they can withstand corrosion and rust. Wheel spacers made of such material are no different. Furthermore, BONOSS applies a black hard anodizing surface treatment. It is ideally suited for aluminum to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetic qualities.
This process makes BONOSS forged active cooling aluminum Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers more durable, decorative, and corrosion-resistant. What’s better, the black dye not only brings a premium appearance but also tends to be more lightfast. This means that BONOSS forged active cooling Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers can work properly for a long time.
