In the market, most brand Tesla wheel spacers are a hub-centric design. Because the support and centering of the wheel better resist impact loads from being used on typical roads. These hub-centric Tesla wheel spacers are designed to perfectly match the hub center bore of the vehicle. So, they allow the wheel to be centered on the vehicle hub, which is the most effective way to keep the wheels balanced.
However, many aftermarket spacer manufacturers typically sell lug-centric Tesla wheel spacers. These spacers come with larger hub bore diameters so that the spacer can fit a wider array of vehicles. The spacer looks like a large washer that fits in the gap between the hub and wheel. Without the support of the hub (because of the gap), the wheel cannot be centered on the axle, leading to annoying wheel vibrations while driving.
Why You Need Hub-centric Tesla Wheel Spacers?
There is a hole (which is called a center bore) in the center of the wheel that fits closely with the circular metal ring on the hub to center the wheel on the axle of the spindle and bear the vertical weight of the vehicle. Without hub-centric rings, the wheel studs will absorb vertical forces. If the studs absorb the vertical forces, they would withstand a single shear force, which is the weakest arrangement of any fastener.
That is why most originally equipped wheels are hub-centric – to avoid the studs bearing vertical forces. Therefore, if you get lug-centric wheels installed, make sure you have hub-centric Tesla wheel spacers or hub-centric rings to fill the space between the wheels and hub assembly. All BONOSS Tesla wheel spacers are hub-centric. This allows the wheel to support the vehicle’s weight and fill the gap for a more tightly fit, reducing vibration.
Are BONOSS Hub-centric Tesla Wheel Spacers Good?
BONOSS designs Tesla wheel spacers specifically for each vehicle model. Based on traditional hub-centric wheel spacers, BONOSS has optimized this design to further reduce the chance of high-speed vibration, it is called a multi-stage hub-centric design. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit for the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps, reducing the chance of vibration.
The machine precision reaches 0.02mm which provides a high-quality surface. It makes sense that the higher the precision, the better the Tesla wheel spacers will fit. BONOSS hub-centric Tesla wheel spacers have various applications, not only can they allow for a flusher stance, pushing the wheel outside of your fender, but also add your fitment options. Hub-centric wheel adapters, on the other hand, are designed to fit wheels with different bolt patterns or center bore diameters.
