wheel spacers

With stock wheels, that have pockets on the back side, you don't have to trim the studs. If you have aftermarket wheels, check for pockets.

 

I ordered Bora spacers from motorsport tech, Lenny is awesome to deal with. I should have mine on Tues.

I found some hub centric ones on amazon for my truck. Hub bore is like 76.4mm or something in the 70-80mm range. I put 1.5" spacers on my 02 and didn't have to trim because of pockets on the back. 1k trouble free miles so far, truck doesn't get driven too much

My 1.5" BORA spacers should be here Tuesday. I recommend them as they are hand-made in the USA and are both hub and wheel centric. Everyone I talked to said these are the best spacers out there.

 

I believe 1.5" is the minimum to clear without trimming. I'll let you know how it goes when they get here. Also putting 2.5" level and 1.5" body lift on.

Ones I bought were only $69.00 on Ebay. Decided to call the company and order them to ensure I got what I wanted/needed.

the ones on the sight are $79.00 but told them I saw them on eBay and they said oh yeah Ebay sale price. Shipped very quickly and have a true quality fit and finish.

I have 1.5 adapters plus a 1/4" spacer, and had to cut about 1/4" off of the studs in the front, mine where $500, solid steal made from a machine shop here in Houston, bought them B&C off road

So you have 1.75" worth of spacers and still had to cut the studs?

He also has aftermarket rims which may not have space in the rear like the stock rims do.

Agreed. None of my aftermarket wheels I have on anything have the pockets like the stock wheels did. I'm just surprised that he has that much spacer and STILL has some sticking out. Not to mention I would be skeptical of stacking a spacer on top of another one on a lifted truck and especially with those big, wide a$$ AF wheels hanging out there. I was considering running the billet, hub/wheel centric 1/4" spacers out back to try and get my rear wheels to come out enough to be even with the front due to the lift kit pushing the front wheels out wider. I'm running 20x10 -14.

The only reason why I put a 1/4" spacer on a 1.5" adaptor is so I dint need to cut as much off of the stud, but yes I have a total of 1.75 of spacers on my truck, I did have 2" adapters on my truck but they where aluminum and I did not feel safe with them

But i have a 1.5" adapter with a 1/4" spacer, so it's like having a bunch of spacers stacked up together to make 1.75"
