The amount of change is of course very small, but you can definitely tell the difference. But if you're looking for a more dramatic offset change without the possible need to trim studs, the I'd say go with 1.75" BORA spacers to be safe.

I don’t need too dramatic. Just a little something. Is 1/4” about as big as I could go without jumping to 1.75”? I figure if I could go as much as I can without trimming studs It would be much better for the vehicle. 1.75 seems like a lot.

1-3/4” isn’t too much. You won’t have anymore issues then the same guy running larger offset wheels. When was the last time you heard of someone’s wheel just falling off? It’s the same thing, the spacers are lugged on just as tight as a wheel is. Buy quality stuff and you won’t have issues. I would say a 1/4” spacer wouldn’t make any visual difference at all. I’ve had my 1-3/4 bora’s for a year with zero issues, and I beat on my truck very hard 0df6ab66928ab2ccd8a1b5a24468a416.jpg

What makes the Bora spacers (or any other good quality spacer) safer is that the spacer uses the studs to bolt to the hub. Then with New proper length studs you mount your wheels to it. Plus they are properly hub centric on the hub surface, and hub centric for the factory wheels.

I would not use any spacers that just take up space without providing new proper length studs.

1.75” doesn’t look too much. I’d have to run my stock rims and tires for a while but that shouldn’t look too bad either. Thanks

Looks great, how many miles do you have on them? I drive this truck a lot. You know how it is, some say it’s the worst thing in the world, others say it’s

I’m running bora spacers on mine stock wheels. I love the look it just makes them pop out at the right amount. Bora spacers are both wheel and hub centric.

Thats pretty nice. How many miles do you have on the spacers. I wondering what long term effects will be.

I drive the truck every day, usually about 12,000 miles a year. I haven’t had a single issue, honestly I forget they are on there

I’m going to go for it I think. Looks like the 1.75’s wouldn’t require trimming and It won’t look too bad on stock wheels/tires for a while.

Hope you aren’t in a hurry. It took 5 weeks for mine to get made and delivered

I used supreme suspension hubcebtric 1.5's with my stock rims. No trimming of studs because the stock ram 20's are recessed in between. I've had mine for about 20k no issues, I've since put flares on just because of the roads up here in the north east during the winter, install was easy! Cleaned the hubs, removed the rotor retaining clips,I blue loctite and torqued everything I believe so 120 ft lbs. Just note you will need two people to torque one to hold brakes while you torque the spacer studs on!7d06a8a22673bc7eda51c8d847629a1c.jpg5d30b28c2966a22fc36476840d50a6de.jpgdbff07581139bb728053bbfe015e45ef.jpg

That looks perfect. I live in N.J. so I’m sure I’ll need the flare too. What tires are those?

why did you get rid of them, new wheels? I wonder if I can get away with the 1.5” on these stockers. I’m gonna pull one and check
