The Ford Ranger wheel spacers can quickly and safely change track width, improving aesthetics and even enhancing the off-roading performance. Installing good spacers is simple and most knowledgeable customers can install them without problems. One of the most important steps is to torque each lug nut to correct torque spec.
The REFERENCE torque spec for Ford Ranger wheel spacers is 113 Nm (83.3 ft-lbs). This is just a reference value. Some wheels or applications require more or less tightening torque. It’s best to check your vehicle’s manual or consult a professional to find out the exact specifications before operating.
Pro Tips for Properly Torquing Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers
For safety, it’s recommended to have a professional install wheel spacers for your trucks unless you are experienced in vehicle modifications. Here are some key tips:
- Make sure the stud & nut thread is clean and dry with no oil or grease.
- Start threading the hardware by hand, then use the torque wrench to tighten wheel lug nuts in a crisscross sequence (typically 83.3 lb-ft).
- Check and confirm the proper alignment and function of your wheels and tires before driving.
- It is crucial to re-torque your new Ford Ranger wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles.
Do You Have to Cut Wheel Studs for Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers?
As long as the wheel pockets are deep enough, you don’t need to cut OEM wheel studs for Ford Ranger wheel spacers. If the wheel cavities are not enough to cover the protruding studs, then wheel spacers above 35mm will fit properly without interference.
Where to Buy the Best Ford Ranger Wheel Spacers?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished Ford Ranger aluminum spacers to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the spacers to make sure that they meet the design specifications. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers are machined with heat dissipation grooves. Distributed in petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Forged Aluminum with Hard Anodized
BONOSS forged Ford Ranger wheel spacers are made of 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. These aluminum alloy rim spacers are protected by naturally occurring oxide film and have incredible corrosion resistance. What’s better is that BONOSS applies a special black hard anodized surface treatment. This ensures a surface of unparalleled corrosion resistance.
3. Disassembly Grooves for Fast Removal
For a better user experience, BONOSS forged active cooling Ford Ranger wheel spacers come with disassembly grooves. The disassembly grooves refer to the small slots on the corner. Simply use a flat-head screwdriver and place it on one notch. Pound a hammer on the screwdriver at a 45-degree angle. It should come off pretty easily.
