Best Wheel Spacer After, After Market Fender Flares

zu13 · February 18, 2017

I know BORA is supposed to be the best, but what is comparable to it; also is there no spidertrax for chevys or am i crazy, cause i can't find them anywhere! Is any aluminum hub centric spacer the same? I am also looking for a better priced but good option. I don't mind paying that much for wheel spacers but it does seem excessive when i see other brands for a fraction of the cost.

I have a 2014 1500 with a leveling kit in the front and an AAL in the back. I just finished painting the fender flares i bought last year with herculiner and will be installing them sunday. What width do you guys think would be far enough? I was thinking 1.5" all the way around... Any input or similar setups? Post pictures!!

285 65 18 is my tire size im running Nitto Terra Grapplers.

I do not have stock wheels but their back spacing seems to be the exact same as stock, I did not buy them they came with the truck so idk the real specs.

Any and all opinion is welcome! Thank you in advance.

Not much help here but Bora is a very good product. And I'm dying to see the flares installed with herculiner. Pics please!

I went with a spacer from TrailSport. They are hub centric and made from billet aluminum. Have had them on my truck for almost 2 years with zero issues, and the best part is the set only cost 69.00.

thank the lord, i will look into these! I love the look and everything behind the BORA but DANG they are expensive.

I have them painted and waxed my truck today, my kit is missing some screws and my drill bits have disappeared. Hopefully they will be installed tomorrow though!

Also Ollies sells Herculiner 10 bucks a can and i used about 2/3s of the can to paint all 4 flares! Great deal compared to Linex quotes and what not

How many inches did you get for your spacer?

I went with 1.5" spacers and paired with the BDS kit my rear wheels match the fronts almost perfectly.

Hey status update, I decided to go with Rough Country 2 inch spacers, with a military discount, got them for about 151.00 for all 4 high grad aluminum, hub centric, and what not. The flares are absolutely perfect! Only complaint is they do not follow the body line at the front flare on each side going down to where the plastic plate is from the stock truck. With it and it looks bad without it and you see the old white pins. Well at least I do i don't think anyone else will see it!

here is just flares in the first pictures then with spacers from today when i took the pictures.

The pictures at the dealership are no spacers, yesterday. The pictures of the wet truck from the rain is today post spacer install.

Only thing left is to remove that front bumper bottom valance to help with the lifted look and my truck will look like a matchbox truck from my childhood!

Looks very sharp! Ummm the trucks looked really different when I was a kid!

Truck looks nice.. bump! what did you do with the OEM fender flares?

zu13 · February 23, 2017

All i did was unscrew all the "riveted bolts" and then sanded everything down with a scotch bright pad just enough to take the shine off and get some scratches in. After that i had bought some 10 dollars cans of herculiner from Ollies warehouse and turned out only need about 2/3 of one and rolled it on. let the first light coat dry then rolled on the second, once it was dry i re put on the same vinyl piping it came with that i had pulled off and took them to get them installed!

well not exactly but to me it look like the 90s matchbox trucks or R/C trucks with the wide stance and big flares!! Also it helps that i put an AAL in the rear (i have a leveling kit in the front) so i have about 2-3 inch height difference instead of a level truck.
