When it comes to upgrading your all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), wheel spacers are a popular modification for off-roading enthusiasts. They offer both functional and aesthetic benefits. This modification can transform your ATV, making it look more aggressive while also improving handling and compatibility with wider tires or custom offset wheels. Using ATV wheel spacers also helps clear larger brake calipers.
But there is one question arising: “Are wheel spacers safe on an ATV?” The answer is a resounding yes—especially when they are high-quality and installed properly. In this article, we’ll explore whether ATV with wheel spacers are safe to use, what factors affect their safety, and some considerations to keep in mind when installing them.
Is It OK to Use ATV with Wheel Spacers?
Yes, it is safe to use ATV with wheel spacers. Wheel spacers are mechanical components that push your wheels away from the vehicle assembly hub. When properly torqued, the wheel bolts apply a clamping force to keep everything in the right place. The hub-to-wheel connection doesn’t change. As long as you torque each lug bolt correctly, high-strength ATV spacers won’t break or fail easily.
What ATV with Wheel Spacers Are Safe?
Many tire technicians agree that proper ATV with wheel spacers are a good idea to fit wider wheels and encounter clearance issues. The safety of spacers depends on various factors, including the spacer quality, installation, and driving conditions. The safest ATV with wheel spacers should be:
- Sizes: precise bolt pattern and center bore diameter
- Material: forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy
- Types: hub-centric types
- High-strength wheel studs and lug nuts
- Warranty and customer services
Why BONOSS Wheel Spacers Stand Out?
When selecting wheel spacers for ATVs, BONOSS excels in safety and performance. With advanced technology and unmatched quality, BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Useful Active Cooling Function
With the same price as most rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling ATV wheel spacers provide an active cooling function. Distributed in a petal shape, these 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 brakes. Such BONOSS forged active cooling ATV spacers improve the cooling efficiency, reducing brake thermal decay, and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace-grade Aluminum Materials
All BONOSS forged active cooling ATV with wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 billet aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (as strong as aviation aircraft). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking.
3. Optimized Hub-centric Design
What’s better, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with multi-stage hub-centric rings. 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. These BONOSS ATV wheel spacers make a snug connection between the wheel and vehicle hub, reducing the chances of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Are ATV Wheel Adapters Honda to Polaris Safe?
A: As long as you set up everything correctly, it is very safe to run ATV wheel adapters Honda to Polaris. To keep a snug wheel connection, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with the ISO Grade 12.9 wheel studs (tensile strength≥1,220 MPa) and ISO Grade 10 lug nuts (proof load≥1,100 MPa).
Q: Will Use ATV with Wheel Spacers Void Warranty?
A: In general, using ATV with wheel spacers don’t void the warranty or insurance. However, remember that different brands may have different regulations, so it is best to check carefully before installing. For example, BONOSS forged wheel spacers offer a 10-year warranty.
Q: How to Install ATV Wheel Spacers?
A: Simply remove the wheels, mount the spacers on the vehicle hubs, and then remount the wheels. BONOSS offers a complete step-by-step install guide. Please check How to Put Spacers on Wheels.
