Are wheel spacers safe and are Tesla Model Y wheel spacers safe? Why are wheel spacers safe? The role of wheel spacers as a part sandwiched between hub assembly and wheel is to increase the distance between the wheel and hub assembly, pushing the wheel outward to the right distance, where we can calculate the distance by offset, the thickness of wheel spacers is often measured in millimeters, such as 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, etc. Suppose your wheel offset is ET40, then installing 15mm wheel spacers will adjust the offset of the wheel to ET25, and the offset will be obtained after subtracting, while the backspacing is increased, assuming the backspacing value is 15. Then 15mm wheel spacers will adjust the backspacing value to 30.
ET and Backspacing
2022 Tesla Model Y wheel spacers always need to be installed after careful calculations. Customers who choose BONOSS wheel spacers believe that the 15mm and 20mm Tesla Model Y wheel spacers will perfectly push the wheels flush with the fender, improving the car’s stance and body vision. The wheel spacers are designed to improve the car’s stance and visual perception. Safe wheel spacers can be used on the vehicle for a long time without any safety accidents, so please choose the qualified wheel spacers carefully.
2022 Tesla Model Y Wheel Spacers Safe
The safety of Tesla Model Y wheel spacers can be divided into the quality safety of wheel spacers and installation safety. The wheel spacers are made of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 or 7075-T6, which has an excellent performance in tensile strength and yield strength, and the weight is obviously lighter than the wheel spacers made of alloy steel. BONOSS Tesla Model Y wheel spacers are often in a state of restocking, and the 7075-T6 wheel spacers are often out of stock. If you need high-quality 7075-T6 Tesla Model Y wheel spacers, you can contact our customer service or check if they are in stock at the mall.
Hubcentric Wheel Spacers
The quality and safety of Tesla Model Y wheel spacers can be reflected in the design of hub centric. As a major feature of the safety of wheel spacers, the design of hub centric will fit the wheel spacers to the wheel and hub assembly perfectly, and the friction force generated and the clamping force after installing the lug nuts will ensure the tightness of the wheel, while the hub centric will ensure that the wheel spacers and the wheel and hub assembly maintain concentric positions. This directly eliminates the shaking that can occur when the wheel is not sufficiently tightened after installing wheel spacers. There is an alternative to purchasing hub centric rings for assistance, but too many parts are not recommended to be installed in the same place, so please purchase Tesla Model Y wheel spacers with hub centric.
How to Safely Install Wheel Spacers?
The installation security of Tesla Model Y wheel spacers is reflected in the number of turns of lug nuts installed. Tesla Model Y uses bolt-on wheel spacers, which means it is equipped with extra lug nuts for fastening, the thread data of Tesla Model Y is M14x1.5. M14 needs 14mm engagement, 1 turn of nut is equal to 1.5mm, so 14mm needs at least 9.5 turns of lug nut tightening, after using the correct torque to install lug nuts, these parts will produce the corresponding clamping force to ensure the wheel will not fall off.
And wheel spacers in the fit with hub assembly, the gap between them needs to be as small as possible, put a piece of paper between them, the paper will not be able to tear out when the fit between the two parts is more ideal. When you find that the seam between the two parts is too large, you can try again by cleaning the rust on the hub assembly, if the seam still exists, you need to go to a professional shop to check, the market for the existence of poor-quality wheel spacers, due to the processing precision is not high, it may lead to the uneven mounting surface of wheel spacers.
