Choosing the best Tesla Model S 5×120 wheel spacers is helpful to get proper wheel fitment. Adding wheel spacers is one of the easiest and quickest ways to level up the wheel styles and handling. The OEM Tesla Model S wheels and tires are slightly tucked under the fender. After installing wheel spacers, the arches are completely filled up. This makes your electric car look nicer.
7 Pro Tips for the Best Tesla Model S 5×120 Wheel Spacers
Thickness:
- 3mm to 10mm: Good for clearing big brake calipers or slightly altering the offset.
- 15mm to 30mm: Best for achieving a perfect flush stance while enhancing the ride quality.
- 35mm to 40mm: Provides more stability while cornering, allowing for larger tires without rubbing.
- 45mm to 50mm: Ideal for fitting an insane wide-body kit for your Tesla Model S Plaid.
Proper Offset:
The 5×120 spacers essentially reduce the offset. For example, if the 2025 Tesla Model S stock wheel offset is +40mm, then a 20mm spacer will make the final offset +20mm. Use an offset calculator before making a decision.
Bolt Pattern:
If you use Tesla Model S aluminum spacers with stock wheels, make sure the bolt pattern is the same as the OEM one: Tesla Model S (2017-2025): PCD=5x120mm, CB=64.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
Hub-centric:
Precise hub-centric 5×120 wheel spacers won’t cause vibration at high speed. They can create a firm and stable wheel connection. Most OEM wheels are hub-centric, so you need Model S hub-centric wheel spacers to keep the wheels properly secured and balanced.
Wheel Studs:
If you use 3mm to 10mm Tesla slip-on spacers, you need longer wheel studs to secure rim spacers safely. Stock stud length + spacer thickness = required wheel stud length.
Quality Material:
The materials play an important role in spacer safety. For performance electric cars, high-quality forged 7075-T6 aluminum spacers are preferable as they are strong, durable and light in weight.
SGS TÜV Test Reports
The SGS TÜV test reports ensure the spacers meet safety and performance standards. The best Tesla Model S 5×120 wheel spacers should provide proper SGS TÜV performance test reports.
Why BONOSS Model S 5×120 Wheel Spacers Stand Out?
With over 17 years of manufacturing experience and 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the best Tesla Model S 5×120 wheel spacers. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS forged wheel spacers a top choice.
1. Extra Active Cooling Advantages
BONOSS forged active cooling Model S wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves allow the air to flow through the brake rotor. This boosts the brake cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum
As the spacer industry develops, the strength of the spacer has greatly improved. For example, a forged BONOSS forged 7075-T6 spacer can withstand about 572 MPa stress without breaking. These BONOSS forged active cooling Model S wheel spacers are just as safe as many aftermarket alloy wheels.
3. Convenient Disassembly Grooves
There are small slots that are distributed on the corner of wheel spacers. Each notch leaves a limited clearance between the brake rotor and the spacer. With the help of these disassembly grooves, you can simply remove the spacer from the brake rotor. This provides a better user experience.
Frequently Asked FAQs
Q: Do all Model S models have the same bolt pattern?
A: Yes, the bolt patterns (PCDs) of all Tesla Model S are 5x120mm.
Q: What size are the lug nuts on a Model S?
A: The thread size of the lug nuts on a Model S Plaid is M14x1.5mm.
Q: How to install wheel spacers on Model S?
A: It is not difficult and some experienced people can complete it within an hour.
1. Remove the wheels;
2. Clean the vehicle hub;
3. Properly torque wheel spacers (typically 103.5 lb-ft);
4. Remount the wheels.
5. Test drive, recheck the torque.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Model S with BONOSS
With those outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged Tesla Model S wheel spacers offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the handling, BONOSS provides products that meet the highest standards of performance and quality. Your Model S EV deserve the best.
