For off-road enthusiasts, modifying a Jeep Wrangler isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re tackling Moab’s slickrock or navigating Rubicon Trail, achieving the perfect Wrangler offset can make or break your adventure.
Wheel spacers (commonly called hub adapters) are precision-engineered components that push your wheels outward, creating a wider stance for improved stability, tire clearance, and aesthetics.
In this guide, we’ll explore why the best wheel spacers for the Wrangler 2024 combine innovation with rugged reliability—and how to choose the right set for your build.
Why Your Jeep Needs Wheel Spacers?
1. Stability on Challenging Terrain
A wider track width from Jeep wheel spacers means more grip in almost every application, reducing body roll during sharp turns. For 2024 Jeep Wrangler models, even a 1.5-inch spacer improves lateral grip on loose surfaces like gravel or sand.
2. Aggressive Stance Without Permanent Mods
Unlike costly axle swaps, wheel spacers before and after installations deliver instant results. A 1.5-inch to 2-inch spacer pushes factory wheels flush with fenders, giving your Wrangler a trail-ready look while preserving OEM parts.
3. Compatibility With Oversized Tires & Brakes
Upgrading to 37-inch tires? Hub-centric spacers for Jeep Wrangler JL prevent rubbing during articulation. They also create clearance for high-performance brake kits—essential for steep descents.
Choosing the Right Wheel Spacers for Your Wrangler
Hub-Centric vs. Lug-Centric: Safety First
Always prioritize hub-centric designs for wheel spacers safety. These spacers feature a machined lip that aligns with your Jeep’s hub, eliminating vibrations common in lug-centric models.
Material Science Matters
Aircraft-grade forged aluminum (e.g., 6061-T6 alloy) outperforms steel in strength-to-weight ratios. It’s resistant to corrosion—a must for coastal trails or salted winter roads.
Size Guide for 2013-2024 Wranglers
| Year & Model | Recommended Thickness | Use Case |
| 2013-2017 JK | 1.25"-1.5" | Daily driving + light trails |
| 2018-2023 JL | 1.5"-2" | 35-37” tires, rock crawling |
| 2024 Wrangler | 1.5"-2" | Lift kit fitment |
Size Guide by Terrain Type
| Location/Use Case | Recommended Thickness |
| Moab slickrock | 1.5”-2” |
| Florida swamps | 1”-1.5” (mud-focused) |
| Overlanding (mixed terrain) | 2” |
Installation: Precision = Performance
- Tools: Torque wrench (½” drive), jack stands, anti-seize lubricant;
- Secure the Jeep on level ground with parking brake engaged;
- Torque spacer lug nuts to 90-100 ft-lbs in a star pattern;
- Reinstall the wheels and torque to 85-95 ft-lbs (refer to factory manual).
- Pro Tip: Apply thread locker to spacer studs for added security.
Why BONOSS Wrangler Wheel Spacers Outperform?
1. Active Cooling Technology
With the same prices as many other spacers, BONOSS forged wheel spacers provide more advantages. Exclusive heat-dissipation grooves reduce brake rotor temps during prolonged use (verified), preventing fade on mountain descents.
2. Instant Customization
Stock 1”-2” spacers ship the same day. Need a 3” thickness for a custom build? BONOSS delivers CNC-machined solutions in 1-3 days.
3. Aerospace-Grade Durability
Forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum - the tensile strength is up to 572 MPa, and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa (AL7075-T6). Paired with a hard-anodized finish, they are ideal for Florida swamps or Alaskan winters.
4. Zero-Vibration Engineering
Multi-stage hub-centric lips ensure a 0.02mm tolerance fit, eliminating wobble even at 75 MPH.
5. Decade-Long Confidence
A 10-year warranty (5x industry average) backs every spacer.
FAQ: Addressing Top Concerns
Q: “Are wheel spacers safe for Wranglers?”
A: Yes—when using hub-centric spacers with proper torque specs. BONOSS spacers exceed ISO standards for load capacity.
Q: “How do I choose between 1.5” vs 2” spacers?”
A: Match spacer thickness to tire size:
1.5”: Fits 33-35” tires with mild lifts.
2”: Required for 37”+ tires or aggressive articulation.
Q: “Best spacers for Florida swamp trails?”
A: 1.5” BONOSS hard-anodized spacers prevent salt corrosion while maintaining OEM suspension geometry.
Q: “How to clean spacers after mudding?”
A: Pressure wash with mild detergent, then inspect the studs for debris.
