In most cases, bolt-on Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers do not require longer wheel studs. Bolt-on wheel spacers typically come with their own bolts or studs designed to fit directly into the existing wheel hub. As long as the included bolts or studs have sufficient length to properly engage the lug nuts and secure the spacer in place, longer wheel studs are not necessary. However, it’s still important to ensure that the Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacer is compatible with your specific vehicle and wheel setup and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation.
How to Install Bolt-on Suzuki Grand Vitara Wheel Spacers?
BONOSS provides bolt-on Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers, which use the principle of double-headed bolts to lock the nuts and wheels. BONOSS provides complete videos and installation guides for customers who want to DIY. The Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers package you received includes a quality assurance manual, installation instructions, and other materials.
First, you must jack up your Suzuki Grand Vitara and secure it on the jack stand. Then use a lug wrench to remove the wheel, and clean the hub and wheel with sandpaper and rust remover, which can help the Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers fit better. When installing Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers, align the bolt holes and hub centric.
Finally, use a lug wrench to tighten the Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers. BONOSS recommends using a wrench with a marked torque value of 113NM (83.3Ft-tb) to install aftermarket lug nuts on the wheel spacers. Professionals suggest that you check the number of installation turns, and rotating eight turns or 10mm of thread engagement will ensure that the spacers are tightened. After installing the wheel, install the stock lug nuts with the same torque. Repeat the above steps on the other three wheels.
The installation of Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers is not complicated, but each wheel requires ten lug nuts to be installed to secure both the wheel spacers and the wheel, which requires more careful inspection. After installation, drive the vehicle back and forth and use a torque wrench to recheck the torque of the lug nuts.
Can You Use Slip-on Suzuki Grand Vitara Wheel Spacers？
Slip-on Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers are a viable option. Some products can be installed on slip-on wheel spacers by replacing stock wheel studs, which can be difficult for customers to DIY, and require very high performance of aftermarket wheel studs. Generally, the wheel studs or wheel bolts used in vehicles are grade 10.9, while higher-grade wheel parts are used on heavy-duty trucks with larger load capacity.
BONOSS provides slip-on Suzuki Grand Vitara wheel spacers and 12.9-grade forged wheel studs to support the performance requirements of the modification. Slip-on wheel spacers require extended wheel studs. Typically, the length is the thickness of the wheel spacers plus the length of the stock wheel studs.
