If you’re going to keep the stock wheels, 15-25mm wheel spacers are the size range to give your Honda Civic Type R FK8 a perfect flushed look. Anytime, it’s important to check whether the Type R FK8 wheel spacers have the right size of axle hole and bolt pattern for your vehicle. For example, if the bolt pattern of the Type R FK8 is 5×120, then 5×120 spacers are the best option. If you get hub-centric Type R FK8 wheel spacers, make sure they are vehicle-specific. For instance, the middle hub-centric ring is exclusively made to fit your specific vehicle hub.
As long as there is enough wheel pocket space, you don’t need to cut OEM studs for Type R FK8 wheel spacers. Simply remove the wheels, mount and tighten these spacers, and then mount and torque the wheels down on the spacers. Since the spacer is secured by the OEM studs, and the wheel is fastened by the provided studs of the wheel spacer, grinding OEM studs to fit Type R FK8 wheel spacers will not shorten the thread engagement and weaken the strength. Make sure you operate correctly and leave a full thread engagement, cutting studs to fit Type R FK8 wheel spacers is safe and reliable.
Will Type R FK8 Wheel Spacers Throw Off Alignment?
Adding Type R FK8 wheel spacers is one of the easiest and quickest ways to fix clearance issues. They are just placed between the vehicle hubs and the wheels, so installing Type R FK8 wheel spacers doesn’t throw off the alignment. The main factors involved in setting the alignment to specification are the caster, camber, and toe. Once they are set up properly, the direction and the angles that the tires point in are fixed. As long as your wheels are aligned well before, these Type R FK8 wheel spacers won’t affect wheel alignment.
BONOSS makes adjustments to the hub-centric Type R FK8 wheel spacers according to the actual vehicle hub design. In this case, some hub-centric wheel spacers are machined with a chamfer on the interface of the hub-centric lip. BONOSS forged active cooling Type R FK8 wheel spacers are designed with better multi-stage hub-centric lips. The hub-centric metal ring is machined to be multi-layers, and the bevels fit the corresponding hub flange, which eliminates any possible gaps. Thus, such precise BONOSS hub-centric Type R FK8 wheel spacers will not cause any kind of vibrations.
Are BONOSS Type R FK8 Wheel Spacers Worth It?
With the same price as many quality Type R FK8 wheel spacers, BONOSS sets are more advantageous. These wheel spacers are designed with better active cooling grooves. Distributed in petal shape, the cooling grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the Type R FK8 wheel spacers when rotating. The flowing air takes away the heat, so it boosts the heat dissipation efficiency of the rotors, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
The precision of BONOSS forged active cooling Type R FK8 wheel spacers has reached 0.02mm. Precise hub-centric Type R FK8 wheel spacers provide high surface integrity, effectively guarantee safety, stability, and reliability, and ensure the smooth operation of vehicle wheel parts. Two materials are available, 6061-T6 aluminum and 7075-T6 aluminum, both forged. For those looking for cheap but durable options, forged 6061-T6 wheel spacers are the way to go. For racing and hard-driving, there is no better option than BONOSS forged active cooling 7075-T6 aluminum Type R FK8 wheel spacers.
