Requesting Blox Spacers Reviews/inputs

I think you're right, the other way around doesn't seem logical to me.

This is what RPM Tesla says,

Been using those same Blox spacers since 2019, if you do a search I posted on them, still on the car and has not caused any problems. 35,000 miles.

Hey all. I just received Bonoss (formerly Bloxport) 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers for my 2019 Model 3 performance OEM wheels. The Rear fit great. Front OEM studs are too long - though Bonoss clearly states they'll fit.

I imagine all P models with the PUP (big) brakes have this issue. Perhaps Bonoss/Blox only test fitted them on a stealth-P, which would be the same fitment as a non-P.

18/25 here, hopefully the thicker front spacer will clear the studs.

Ordered from manufacturer. 10 year warranty and new cooled rotor design, look for striations on edge. Amazon sells the old Bloxsport, Bonoss took over.

Wish me luck, 3mm and 5mm extra to the usual 15/20 setup look very doable on a custom suspension, manufacturer also claims this.

Just realized white mudflaps (essential in this situation) not the way to go, getting matte black to match the contrast (white car, blacked out everything and spoiler).

Stock, not custom.

I emailed BONOSS asking them the same question and received this reply:
View attachment 720510

I torqued the spacers to the hub at 103.5ft-lbs and the wheels to the spacers at 129ft-lbs. No issues in over 3000 miles of driving since installing them at those torque settings.

Not good, our EVs do not have torque limiters sot the hubs will take a lot of abuse.

Jack Chen's statement contradicts their own installation instructions. I am doing 129 on all.

Step 5: Install the Wheel Spacer in Place​

Place the BONOSS BLM Series Wheel Spacer on the hub and align the holes in the spacer with the wheel studs, and ensure that the wheel spacer is firmly seated and flush against the hub. Use the matching lug nuts to tighten the wheel spacer to original studs. Carefully turn the lug nuts by hand to ensure they are easy to thread in to avoid cross-thread. Tighten by hand, but do not torque the lug nuts completely. Just put them in place and fasten them a bit.

Step 6: Torque the Matching Lug Nuts to Spec​

Use a torque wrench with the ***manufacturer-recommended torque specification*** to snug up the lug nuts in a star pattern. Do not overtighten the nuts. In addition, ensure the original studs do not protrude past the wheel spacer surface. If you meet problems that the hubs roll while tightening the nuts, you can ask an assistant to press the brake pedal to prevent the hub from rolling.

Has this ever been fully clarified/verified? Definitely don’t want to get this mixed up… TIA
