Installing Bonoss 15mm wheel spacers on my 2023 Honda civic TypeR FL5

[@thecarman3693]

A note about the 15mm spacers. Due to being only 15mm thick these spacers use a special nut unlike the other thicknesses; this is to insure that the entire nut sits just below the surface that the wheel will bolt onto. Only your hub's stud threads should protude above the surfae into your wheel's voids.

[@D34dKRUzer]

My guy, almost every type of install I search for my new fl5 you show up in the results. Thanks for you videos!

[@MoisesEmpire]

Lol thats awesome! Your welcome!

[@eddyngan9293]

Just install the 15mm Bonoss spacer today. i have torque down to spec as instructed. i want to see how often should i recheck the torque spec ont he spacer and the wheels. Nice video you have done.

[@MoisesEmpire]

Awesome! I personally do tire rotations every 3k to 4k miles so mine get checked and tourqed that often.

[@ryukiddin]

The website to check after the first 100 Miles. After that I would imagine it follows your regular tire rotation schedule

[@oni5909]

@@MoisesEmpiredo u have to retorque if you’re just changing tires? i’m talking about the spacers already been on there for a while and just getting a fresh set of tires. i assume not since they haven’t been touched?

[@MoisesEmpire]

@oni5909 thays correct. They are already tourqed down so no need to do it again. Unless u just wanna make sure they are still tight.

[@oni5909]

@@MoisesEmpire yeah cause i got ps4’s from costco and they said you have to take the wheels off and bring them bc you have spacers on when i was like you don’t have to touch the spacers at all lol

[@Julius_FL5]

Why didn’t you just buy aftermarket wheels with a lower offset?

[@MoisesEmpire]

Because I love the OEM wheels and this is how to get the offset I wanted on them. Also the spacers were a sponsored part so why not. Also Eventually ill get aftermarket wheels but for now I have other parts i rather spend the money on.

[@angelox136]

I just installed the 15mm on my stock FL5. Only downside I'm seeing is a little vibration on the steering wheel after 65mph.

[@MoisesEmpire]

Thats odd. I dont have that problem.

[@angelox136]

@@brewed544 unfortunately no. Might be a bad pair of set I got.

[@MoisesEmpire]

Have all the nuts tourqed properly? Maybe try rotating the spacers like you would your wheels. Swap fronts to the back since front ones is what would affect steering if one of them is bad.

[@CristianRosian]

Hi, can you tell me please how long the hub bolt is ?

[@MoisesEmpire]

I have no idea. I didnt measure them.

[@randomrebuilds]

For added piece of mind, I use a small amount of blue threadlock on the factory studs, and then torque to spec. Nice little comparison video!

[@frankgronowski5538]

Lol you don't use threadlock. You should use anti sieze

[@randomrebuilds]

@@frankgronowski5538 Anti-seize on the hub contact point, thread-lock on the stud/nut threads.

[@Angel_TypeR]

How is it holding on? I'm thinking about going with 20mm, but I'm not sure yet

[@MoisesEmpire]

Next month ill have had them on the car for 1 year and I've never had any problems with them and I do regular tire rotations every 3k miles so thay do get messed with regularly. I recommend 15mm for front and 20mm for rear to get a nice flush fitment. I got 15mm all around cuz when I bought them i didn't realize the rear of the car is a bit wider.

[@supergzeyad4226]

I’m so confused sorry. So those spacers you don’t need to buy extended lug nuts and all I do put those bolts nut on the OEM part and then the new spacers goes into my wheel and OEM lug nuts on it and that’s it? Sorry new to this all

[@MoisesEmpire]

Yes thats it. Very simple since 15mm is not thick enough for u to need extended studs.

[@supergzeyad4226]

@@MoisesEmpire thank you so much really. Yes I ordered the 1 inch all the way around for my civic but wanted to make sure I don’t need to get new extended lug nuts or so since those are adapters wheel spacers not the regular wheel spacers where you need extended lug nuts right?

Thanks for the video. I've installed 20mm ones. It seems as there is understeer now. What is your experience? Any understeer in spirited driving cornering after installation?

[@MoisesEmpire]

I don't think so but then again I don't live in an area with alot of twisty roads so I haven't really been able to push the car during turns enough to notice any understeer.

Hello, do you have 15mm in front and rear? Also, I’m running stock height and wheel/rims. I want to look for a good flush look but I don’t want it to be popping out, I want something subtle but noticeable. Would 15mm all around be a good choice? Would 20mm all around be too much? Please let me know what you think! Thanks.

[@MoisesEmpire]

Mine are 15mm front and back and it is flush but as you can see in the video im lowered so idk if 15mm is also flush on stock height.

You should’ve went with 25mm or at least 20 because it barely looks like you did anything but if it works for you right on

[@MoisesEmpire]

Hard to capture on camera but its a noticable difference. 15mm is perfect for the front for a flush look but I do wish I would have done 20mm in the rear. But its temporary till I get some wheels so not a huge deal to me.

[@demarionh4895]

@@MoisesEmpire yeah no worries bro. I totally get it because I got the 2.0 T Honda Accord not too long ago and I have been seeing everyone getting the 25 mm by Bonoss And they actually come out a lot more stock and then I seen.

[@MoisesEmpire]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

[@mappyfrappy]

Should probably ask why they didn't do that from the factory. Sure it looks better, but does it affect handing or tire wear, particularly at speed? I'd guess one or both. As a comment mentioned, you're better off just getting different wheels with the offset you want instead of half-assing it with spacers. They also sell hormone blockers for kids. Just because someone sells something doesn't make it a worthwhile product. Love to hear spacer-selling bros discuss their engineering testing and why the Honda factory got it wrong. Use at your own risk I'd guess would be the answer. Ahh, I just leave my stock wheels right against the hub, thanks.

[@MoisesEmpire]

I can't speak for honda as to way they didnt do it but my guess is region regulations. Like with all cars, if the manufacturer wants to be able to sell it in certain places of the world, the car needs to meet certain specs.... Handling shouldn't really be affected since 15mm is so minimal and as long as your car gets an alighnment, tire wear should be normal. In my case my car is not daily driven and only sees about 4k miles a year so even if any bad changes to the way it drives were to occur, I wouldn't notice it and aftermarket wheels will be coming at some point. Did the spacers for now because I got them for free and makes the car look better.

​@@trigganometry168 no, not like that

[@thecarman3693]

Older cars (like my Z) have 15" wheels that are only 6.5" wide with 60 series tires. I could not find good performance tires in my size any longer so I went with 17" wheels that are 1" wider. 15mm spacers allowed the new wheels to sit properly on the car due to the difference in offset between the two. My tires went from 215 to 225 --- so you can see I'm not going crazy. Overall diameter is less than 1% difference. For me these are a godsend. I'm keeping the tire load between my inner and outer wheel bearings, so there should be no ssues. And yes, I'm having a proper alignment done. There is a proper way to do this type of work.

[@Tejadamed]

[@MoisesEmpire]

How so?

[@ryandavenport1303]

Wheel spacers are spocom. Buy proper wheels.

[@WombatMilk]

Car culture promotes some dumb shit but StANCe would have to be in the top 5 most ridiculous. I would bet this car has lost performance after this "mod"

[@4drturbo85]

What a fail. Doesn't even torque it down and is using those stupid spacers that bolt onto the existing lugs. Changes the geometry of the suspension creates more wear and tear on the ball joints and the wheel bearings and even the axles since it's bringing the wheel out farther from the hub. But do what you got to do for a "look" I see a plastic wrap all over your car also so it all makes sense. 😂

[@MoisesEmpire]

🤣 none of what u just said is true. Especially the part about the wrap 🤦‍♂️ vehicle wraps are not plastic.

[@thecarman3693]

If you are putting wider wheels on the car (say from 6" to 7") just be sure to keep the cross secton center of the wheel between your inner and outer bearings. You can then adjust camber/caster so that the tire sits flat on the road. Do the above and you should be fine. It's only an issue if you go with too much spacer thickness (or too wide a wheel) and push your tire's load well outside of both wheel bearings.
