Many people are worried about whether they can install wheel spacers on a Tesla Model X EV. Are wheel spacers a good idea for an electric car? People think that wheel spacers affect driving range because of the added weight. Actually, wheel spacers don’t reduce the driving range at all. Pushing the wheels out a bit won’t disrupt the airflow, hence there will be a negligible effect on battery consumption. In other words, if you just add Tesla Model X spacers, there should be no difference before and after.
With the development of modern manufacturing technology, high-end Tesla Model X wheel spacers are made as light as possible. The added weight is really insignificant. This means installing proper Tesla Model X wheel spacers won’t negatively affect the driving range. As the tires are more evenly loaded, you will experience a faster acceleration response when coming out of a corner.
How to Choose New Tesla Model X Wheel Spacers for An Electric Car?
Proper Tesla Model X wheel spacers can always fit your SUV without hurting ride quality. Correct fitment of the wheel spacers is the highest priority to ensure driving safety. When it comes to safe Tesla Model X wheel spacers, precision can be interpreted as quality. It is one of the keys to success in producing alloy rim spacers. In short, the higher the precision, the better the surface quality, and the better the Tesla Model X spacers can fit on the vehicle hub. Hence, there is less chance of vibration or wobbling.
BONOSS Tesla Model X wheel spacers are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm tolerance. This improves the fit and functionality of spacers. A 5×120 wheel spacer with a high-quality surface is easier to sit flush up against the vehicle hub and wheel. So, there’s no obvious gap between them. This is helpful to avoid high-speed wheel vibration. High-precision Tesla Model X wheel spacers also look better.
Do Tesla Model X Wheel Spacers Hurt the Suspension?
No, quality Tesla Model X wheel spacers won’t hurt your suspension. In the automotive market, wheel spacers are available in thicknesses from 3mm to 70mm. If your wheel gap is about 15mm, then using 15mm wheel spacers (or a little thinner) will not damage any part of the suspension. In some cases, the mass of the Tesla Model X wheel spacers plus wheels are lighter than the equivalent solid wheels with the same backspacing, they won’t hurt your suspension.
BONOSS forged aluminum Tesla Model X wheel spacers are designed for performance improvement. Due to the advanced forging process, these aluminum spacers have a very high weight-to-strength ratio. As a result, they are much strong with much less weight. Lighter Tesla Model X wheel spacers will perform better in most conditions. Adding such lightweight components wouldn’t noticeably affect your suspension. If you get BONOSS hub-centric Tesla Model X wheel spacers installed, the best thing to do is just enjoy the car.
