Hub-centric Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are always the best choice for all customers because the hub-centric design can ensure the wheel spacers stay in the proper position. Contrary to hub-centric BRZ wheel spacers, there is another type called lug centric. It uses a single nut for fixing; no hub-centric or hub-centric diameter becomes a universal type. Since it may be used on different vehicles, some wheel spacer manufacturers sell them to customers who want to get the product at a lower price.
Why Hub-centric Subaru BRZ Wheel Spacers Is a Good Choice?
The principle of hub-centric Subaru BRZ wheel spacers is to be installed between the hub and the wheel, increasing the clearance between them to solve issues related to vehicle steering and appearance. Since wheel spacers are aftermarket wheel parts, accurate data and safe design are key to proper operation. Hub-centric refers to the integrated circular ring design in Subaru BRZ wheel spacers, which does not require additional centering rings like other rubber or metal rings, as precise data in Subaru BRZ wheel spacers eliminates the need for clearance.
The function of hub-centric is to ensure that the central ring of Subaru BRZ wheel spacers stays closely attached to the hub. After tightening the lug nuts, the surface of the wheel spacers comes into contact with the hub, generating static friction to help with fixation. Meanwhile, the surface of Subaru BRZ wheel spacers will also come into contact with the wheel, providing a larger contact area to generate static friction, and hub-centric eliminates the clearance that may cause vibrations at high wheel rotation speeds.
Hub-centric BRZ wheel spacers have always been considered a safe design. In contrast, lug-centric wheel spacers have a design where the wheel spacers are not fully tightened to the hub and wheel, so the load on the lug nuts and wheel spacers relies solely on the bolt holes and nuts. However, considering the impact of load and road feedback during driving, it is easy to cause wear on the bolt holes and loosening of the nuts, leading to risks of wheel vibrations and even wheel hub fractures.
Are BONOSS Subaru BRZ Wheel Spacers Safe?
BONOSS provides bolt-on type Subaru BRZ wheel spacers and custom slip-on type products. Regardless of wheel spacer type, BONOSS provides customers with high-quality products. The high quality is reflected in the machining accuracy and material performance of Subaru BRZ wheel spacers. BONOSS uses CNC machining to produce the products based on machine-measured data, with machining accuracy reaching 0.02mm in every part, ensuring they fit perfectly when installed on the vehicle.
On the other hand, BONOSS also adopts a multi-stage design that considers the structure of the hub and wheel, creating a more compatible structure with layers of hub-centric design that allows the Subaru BRZ wheel spacers to fit securely in the vehicle’s structure, ensuring safety.
BONOSS Subaru BRZ wheel spacers are made from forged 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys, which are lightweight and contain elements for improved performance. These wheel spacers also incorporate active heat dissipation technology to help them maintain good mechanical performance in high-temperature environments.
The most important feature of these forged aluminum alloy wheel spacers is their significantly increased strength. The 6061-T6 alloy has a tensile strength of 42,000-45,000 psi and yield strength of 35,000-40,000 psi, which is more than sufficient for aftermarket parts. The high-performance version made from 7075-T6 alloy offers an additional 40% performance, making it a great choice for customers looking for performance-oriented options, especially for track driving.
