Installing Tesla Model S spacers is a simple process and most knowledgeable customers can install them without problems. If you would like to save that money, you can install spacers yourself. If you never install spacers before, it is recommended to have a professional install those spacers for your vehicle. Anyway, as long as you install them properly, high-quality wheel spacers are exactly safe to use.
Pro Tips to Properly Torque Tesla Model S Spacers
Every time you perform routine maintenance, remember to check the condition of the lug nut tightness. Here are some expert tips of correctly torquing spacers on your Model S:
Clean the Thread:
When torquing the lug nuts, make sure that the stud and nut threads are clean and dry with no oil, or grease. Don’t apply lubrication to the wheel’s hardware.
Use a Torque Wrench:
It is recommended to use a good torque wrench to tighten the wheel spacers to proper torque specs. The REFERENCE torque specs on the Tesla Model S spacers will be 103.5 ft-lbs (140 Nm).
Since some wheels or applications require more or less tightening torque, it’s best to consult a tire expert to find out the exact torque spec before operating. Every time you perform tire maintenance, you can double-check the torque on the wheel spacers just to be safe.
Proper Sequence:
Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts in a crisscross sequence. Properly torquing Tesla Model S wheel spacers is critical to ensuring wheel assembly rides smoothly, forces evenly, and performs as expected.
Who Sells the Best Tesla Model S Spacers?
Over 3000+ times of professional measurements, drawing updates, size precision upgrades, and installation tests, BONOSS makes the best Tesla Model S spacers. There are several key advantages that make BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers a top choice for your wheel upgrades.
1. Verified Active Cooling Benefits
With the same price as most rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S spacers provide an active cooling function. The petal-shaped arc grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the spacers when rotating.
The air takes away the heat, so it achieves the purpose of actively dissipating heat for the braking system. This is good for boosting cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety
2. Precise Hub-centric Design
BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S spacers can create a firm and stable wheel connection. Besides, these spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. Precise wheel spacers guarantee safety, stability, and reliability. They can sit flush up against the vehicle hub and wheel, reducing the chance of wheel vibration.
3. Useful Disassembly Grooves
One standout feature of BONOSS forged active cooling Tesla Model S spacers is the unique disassembly grooves. There are small notches that leave a limited clearance between the brake rotor and the spacer. Set a screwdriver into the notch and apply force at an angle, you can easily remove the spacers.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Will Tesla Model S spacers throw off alignment?
A: The Tesla Model S wheel spacers are just placed between the vehicle hubs and the wheels, so installing spacers doesn’t throw off the alignment.
Q: How much are 4 pcs of Tesla 5×120 wheel spacers?
A: It depends on the brands and materials you choose. Normally, 4pc of Tesla Model S wheel spacers will cost from $240 to $500.
Q: Are Tesla Model S spacers safe?
A: Yes, as long as you install them properly, high-quality Model S spacers are safe in daily driving or racing events.
