Wheel spacers on stock wheels?

[Littlefield82]

Pics with 1.25" BORA wheel spacers and 275/70/18 General Grabber ATX SL tires. I would have been happy with 1" (I think) but I do like this look. I will likely get aftermarket wheels when the truck is paid off and now I know what +12 offset wheels would look like.

Stock 20” PVD wheels with stock FX4 Hankook tires. 2” level and 1.5” spacers.

I tried but could not find any hub centric 1/2" spacers for my 20" Sport wheels with the Alcon front Big Brake Kit, which are not even that big) My previous mechanic put on some non hub centric 1/2" spacers (liar told me they were hub centric) and they were junk, front end was wobbling while braking it was horrible.

Just ordered some 1.25" Boras for an APB Brake BBK (3 week backorder) but w/ the stock sport tires and the stock Hankook's and I am pretty sure they are going to stick out too far. So I am in a pickle....

I will post picks once everything is wrenched in.

Did you get the brake kit in? I am thinking about going with their kit.

Yes I did, brakes fit perfectly with the 1.25" Bora spacers.

Reviving this thread as I’m considering 1.25” spacers and curious if anyone had to trim or replace their lug bolts for these to work. Not something I’m willing to do but would like to widen my stance a touch.

I swapped out the Bora 1.25" for Bora 0.75" spacers, wheels stuck out a little too far for my taste.


You have to cut the stock studs "around" 1/2" as they would not fit in the the pockets of my stock 20" Sport wheels.

These are the 1.25" and the specs are: Ford_F-150_(2015-2022)__Spacers,_6x135_Bolt_Pattern,_87.1_Hub._ Aluminum, BORA__Black,
Thickness=1.25in (31.75mm) (VehRecNo=5061)

Thanks for getting back to me. Did you have to trim your studs .5" for the .75" spacers to work, or was that for the old 1.25" spacers to fit?

You my friend are very bright. Come to think of it I believe it was the for the .75" spacers. And I think for the 1.25" on one of the rear wheels the inside small section needed to be sanded down slightly.

I added KSP 1.5" Billet spacers afterwards. Gave the poke I was looking for, although I think 1.25" would have been more what I was hoping for. No levelling, on stock sport 20's with Hankook OEM rubber there is no rubbing. No need trim or modify stock studs, etc - direct bolt-on. Proper Torqueing is key and cannot be understated.

Hi there, i was wondering- i also have the sport rims but they are on my 2017 xlt, did you have any issues with installing, and trim downs needed? Also the quality, i would like the ksp 1.25" but not as popular on amazon canada, i worry about the strength, as i sometimes haul our travel trailer dry weight 5300lbs

I tested 1.25” spacers on my identical sport wheels and they fit great. The pockets were sufficient for the studs.

Thanks Danny great to know!

Just to clarify, you used the KSP brand , before i purchase- cheers

It was a generic brand from Amazon that I used for test fit purposes only. But the brand won’t make a difference. Your factory stud length less the 1.25” thickness of any spacer is going to result in the same clearance with those factory sport wheels.

PS - If I were you, I’d step up and buy BORA spacers… Not an item to cut corners on to save a few bucks. Especially if you’re towing!

Yes i was thinking that Danny, bit more cost, ill have it shipped from USA. After watching the recent Kia hit the wheel that came off the big truck on the highway and do a 360 mid flight is crazy and I don't want to take chances!

 

[Pedaldude]

Has anyone used wheel spacers on their stock wheels with bigger tires to get a little more poke on their trucks? Is this a viable option? Are there any cons...

...Not an item to cut corners on to save a few bucks...

As long as you aren’t driving next to a Kia! ??
