1.5" spacers. No stud trimming.

Did you put your 1.5” spacers on your stock LT275/65x18 tires/rims?

Agreed, would like to know more. Stock wheels? What’s the measurements on the spacers and where did you purchase them from? 
 
Thanks!

1.50 wheel spacers, stock 20" wheels with 285/60R20 tires. 

 

 

please reply with link to product. These are perfect for me. Please please please. Part number, price, brand. Hook me up. Your truck looks awesome and so will mine if you help me out.

Just get some B.O.R.A. spacers.  They are the good standard.  Keep in mind you will have to cut off some material in the fenderwell/liner/mudflap areas to run 1.5" spacers with stock wheels.  There will be considerable contact.

Looking to see what Anthony used because he didnt have to trim lugs. 

BORA

 

The brand of the spacer doesn't determine if stud trimming is needed or not - the thickness of the spacer and the specific wheel you use does.

 

You can do 1/4" or less or 1.5" or more with factory wheels and avoid stud trimming.

1.5" Coyote spacers.  No lug trimming due too grooves already machined into the 18" rims

Fly did you machine the grooves for this work? I have the same rims. Or were the rims already stock grooved enough for the install. Also did you have to cut your fenders fly? On my truck I did the rough country 2" levelling system custom designed for trail boss on top of the stock level. They say its like 4 inch but looks lower.

 

Anyways just trying to find spacers where I can get away with the least cutting and trimming. None is preferred. 

 

Is 1.5" kinda the best option? 

 

Does anyone have a link to the bora product? 1.5 inch

 

Does anyone have a link to the coyote product in 1.5 inch

 

Looking to do zero cutting. I have the same stock rims as fly.

 

Thanks. 

 

Also thanks lapoolboy

Hey Justin1983.   Rims  grooved on back side so no worry there.  Did not pay too much attention to how much the studs stuck out past the spacers but weren't much.  No other mod at all.   Had to go get a bigger torque wrench though.

I stayed with factory tires.   I really like how the 1.5 gives me the look I was after.   I think 2" would be just a little too much, but that is my opinion for what I like.   I went with Cayote due to immediate availability and price plus good reviews.   Nearly went with BORA  though.   Also good review, just had a lead time of about 3 weeks and quite a bit more in price.  

These are 2 places I found the spacers.   I got my Coyote from American Trucks.

How much trimming/removal did you do to get rid of the rubbing?

I don't believe it is no, but I did not try anything else I just went right for the 1.5

    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
    • I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
