There are 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, and 50mm wheel spacers available for Land Rover Defender 18”-22” rims. Getting the best spacers is beneficial. For OEM wheels and tires, 15-20mm wheel spacers are the best size range to get a perfect flush stance. If your wheels are not ideal to achieve a perfect wide-body stance, wheel spacers will be the solution. They push the wheels and tires outward significantly so you have a “stance” car.
This is beneficial because Defender wheel spacers provide a more cost-effective reduction in body roll. Many enthusiasts use aftermarket shock absorbers, coilovers, and a lift kit. However, if you lift the vehicle, there is potential rubbing on parts or tires. By pushing the wheels further out, a set of wheel spacers will clear these issues easily. This is good for road handling. Always stick to genuine brand, you can use the Defender wheel spacers on-road and off-road.
Are Land Rover Defender Wheel Spacers Good or Bad?
Many tire experts consider the Defender wheel spacers a good idea to clear big brake calipers. Larger calipers and rotors are going to require more space between the wheels and the hub assembly. If new aftermarket wheels are not on the list, you must ensure the diameter of the brakes doesn’t exceed the inside wheel spokes. If there is interference, Defender wheel spacers will be necessary. By pushing the wheels and tires outwards, they effectively solve rubbing issues.
People always seek ways to prevent the brakes from overheating. In this case, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are designed with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves behind the spacers boost the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety. Brakes tend to fail quickly when cooling efficiency is poor. To some extent, BONOSS forged active cooling Defender wheel spacers extend the longevity of your performance brake kits.
Will Land Rover Defender Wheel Spacers Improve Off-road Performance?
By adding more inner wheel clearance, the Land Rover Defender wheel spacers are beneficial to improve off-road performance. They also increase the track of your vehicle, hence strengthening the grip. Since off-road driving means more impacts and strong forces, it is important to get your vehicle quality forged Defender wheel spacers. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers have undergone continuous intense pressure to be formed.
Due to the continuous stress cycle and process of deformation, BONOSS forged active cooling Defender wheel spacers become hard and tough. The strength is greatly enhanced. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). Since tensile strength is the ability of a spacer to resist tearing due to tension, the higher the tensile strength, the more tensile stress that the wheel spacers can withstand before failure. Such BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are surely a good option for your off-roading needs.
