Do 11mm wheel spacers affect handling? Yes, they do. As a matter of fact, installing wheel spacers is one of the easiest and simplest ways to boost your car’s handling. By moving the wheels and tires outwards, they increase the width track. The wheels are set apart more, providing better traction and improving your car’s grip on the pavement. You will experience better control especially when cornering.
For sports and performance upgrades, it is often possible to buy aftermarket suspension components (springs, shock absorbers, sway bars) that improve the car’s handling. Adding 11mm wheel spacers means more wheel backspacing. This is effective to accommodate bigger suspension parts. In other words, they create more clearance to avoid potential tire rubbing. Many people equate good handling with sports cars, indeed, a good set of 11mm wheel spacers bring your car performance to a higher level.
Why Lightweight Wheel Spacers Are Better?
Lightweight 11mm wheel spacers are absolutely good for those who need spacers to fix wrong offset issues while hoping to keep the added weight as little as possible. In this case, lighter wheel spacers are good for weight savings. BONOSS lightweight plus 11mm wheel spacers machined with advanced “Hollow Carved” holes. This design provides obviously lightweight effect while maintaining high strength. Compared with the previous-gen product, they are at least 20% weight off.
Keeping a light sprung weight means better accelerating, cornering, and braking. Because there is less weight to control, it can also contribute to greater fuel efficiency. Lighter-weight aluminum alloy allows these 11mm wheel spacers to operate well at a higher performance in most conditions. That is the reason why most customers would choose BONOSS forged aluminum lightweight plus wheel spacers for performance improvement and appearance enhancement.
Why Do You Need Good Extended Wheel Bolts for 11mm Wheel Spacers?
Extended wheel bolts standard hardware for 11mm wheel spacers. They are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of many automobiles. When properly torqued, they apply a clamping force to secure the wheels on the vehicle. So, the bolt condition is critical to getting the proper clamping force at the wheel. Each wheel bolt has basic mechanical properties that help define the expected tensile strength performance.
The core factor may be tensile strength. The tensile strength can be defined as the force a specific fastener can withstand before fracture. In other words, you need high-strength extended wheel bolts to keep the 11mm wheel spacers in place for the long term. BONOSS extended wheel bolts are ISO grade 12.9. The grade 12.9 means the minimum tensile strength of the wheel bolts is 1,220 MPa. It makes sense that stronger bolts are safer.
