Also some people (like me) want to keep the factory wheels and also have a wider track width

I have bora spacers on my truck for about 5 years now and im surprised that they still havent broken yet even though a lot of people keep telling me that spacers aren't safe yet i had no problems for a long time with them.

Legend has it theres a direct correlation between how big spacers are and how much bedazzle is on the owners back jeans pockets.

I have a 95 burb with a 4 inch lift on 33x12s running bora spacers. 3 years of hard use and still going strong.

To clarify further and kind of put this a different way, answering a common question I'm seeing you guys ask:

Fitting a vehicle with wheel spacers will not stress the axles hubs or anything any more then fitting just a rim with the equivalent backspacing

[radiatedbrain]

Checking/Torquing the spacers every now and again (say once a month) will help ensure theyre safe.
How ive done it on my 2in spacers for 6 months and no issues

[AnthonyJ]

I put BORA spacers on the rear because my Fabtech lift knuckles widened the front track.

I run a set of 2" 100$ eBay spacers on my. Bronco, 35" tires muddin climbing jumping pulling trailers with no issues for 4 yrs. Maybe I'm the exception but I would buy them in a heartbeat again if I needed them.

The garage noises are nothing compared to the heavy rock blasting in the "background"

If you change the track width on either the front or back in correlation to the other half of the vehicle, (I.e. putting a 15mm spacer on the back of your front wheel drive Honda) it will change the overall stability of the car. Car makers make the front track width wider for stability purposes.

I've been running inch and a half spacers on my Jeep Wrangler for a couple years now. The key as Fuller stated, is to purchase quality spacers. Hub Centric and lug Centric is quite important. During install proper torquing is key. Also it doesn't hurt to use never seize behind the spacer so that it will release if and when the time comes to remove them. Loctite as well so a good idea. Jim...out.

I have 1.5 inch hubcentric spacers on my Jeep and so far they haven't caused any problems. They make my Jeeps fitment poke just millimeters out from the fender and it looks nice and mean along with a 2 inch leveling kit.

Profile pic is outdated btw lol jeep looks better now 👌

[EpilepticBob]

Good too know, when I got my wheels done I never did 12 wides just because I just didn’t put much thought into it. But wanted to run spacers to give a bigger stance on my truck with the Levelling kit. Plus better clearance since I have 33s on stock suspension on my 18 GM and rub. So a level and spacers later my truck should better lookin pretty mean

[tvrift]

I always see the argument to get a more offset wheel and skip the spacers, but isn't this doing the exact same thing as a spacer geometry wise? Wouldn't the added stresses be exactly the same?

[vklfwkj]

Somebody ask whistlindiesel about spacers.

[tyef]

I'm putting bora 2 inch on my ram 2500 diesel because I like the factory rims, but want a wider stance with my 35x12x18. Also leveled 2 inch.

[cmj]

How can people still have questions? There are only like 3 to begin with. 😂

[tomnlwinski]

I got 1.5 inch spacers all around to clear 35s on a leveled 2005 2500 cummins and tow 18k-20k pounds all the time

If you have stock wheels
Use the wheel Spacers

If you plan on using a wheel spacer, just get new wheels with a better stance

Hey just so you guys know the k1500 models are 6 lug k1500 is 4x4 c1500 are rwd and they are 5 lug so I don’t know if your site is broke or what is it but you definitely need to change that I put in 1998 gmc k1500 4x4 and Chevy 1998 k150 4x4 and they all were 5 lugs which are incorrect the 88 to 98 4x4 are all 6 lug out the factory so just so people who don’t know a lot about there truck instead of spending 100$ on the wrong spacers you should fix that. The c1500 and k1500 are both 5 lug on your website for the spacers. So please change that not hating or anything I love you guys and your videos but that’s something that should be fixed so people don’t buy the wrong spacers. idk if you guys just have a picture of the 5 lug for all the spacers pictures and you do get sent the right lug nut amount when you get the spacers sent to you but it’s a little confusing like I said especially people who don’t know a lot of trucks or cars in general
