Wheel spacers?

[B Dauterive]

I have some 22x10 SRT replica wheels that are +25 offset. I tried to have them installed on my truck today but the shop said they don't fit because they hit the upper control arms on the front. I need some spacers so I can put these wheels on but I'm not sure how thick I should get. I want the wheels to only stick out about an inch or so. I don't know what size spacer will do that or where to get them. Any help is appreciated.

1.5 - 1.75" spacer and you should be good to go. You'll clear the wheel studs without having to cut them and that should give you the look you're going for.

Depends on the wheel. I went with aftermarket wheels on my 2015 and had to slightly trim the studs. I went with hubcentric from Supreme Suspension. Those things are solid. Got T-Boned by an F-550 towing a construction equipment. Truck got totaled due to frame damage but those spacers didn't budge. Were still on the truck after some dealership bought it at the auction and repaired and sold it.

Go with the Motorsport-tech Bora hubcentric spacers. They are the best. I've had mine on now on my winter wheels for 5 seasons and they've been flawless.

Agree with @joeygster with purchasing the bora spacers. I believe i have the same rims as you and went with cheap spacers at first due to the wait time at motorsport and when i received my boras it was night and day. Plus when i got them mounted and balanced the shop told me to get those off as soon as possible due to their design. When i showed them the boras they said those would work. Also i only went with 3/4". Dont really like the tires sticking out too far. That and slinging **** everywhere when i drive. I dont have fender flares but im looking for that reason.

I hate tires sticking out needlessly as much as I hate fender flares unless you have big tires like 38's or more so I only went with a set of the hub centric 10 MM spacers just for a little upper control arm clearance on my 14 . I found I did not really need them so they sat on a shelf for a few years . Now on my 17 I threw them on just to push out the 275-65's out a hair for looks which barely noticeable .

I ordered some cheap ones off Amazon to see how each size looks before a spring for a high end set. Thanks for the info

Easy fix. I had the same issue. Bora makes 11mm Hubcentric spacers.

Will that be okay with stock lug bolts or would I need extended ones?

I'm on the stock ones 2 years now. 0 problems

Sweet, do you remember where you got them? I see motorsport-tech has them.

I test fit a 1/2 in cheapo spacer and it fit perfect so I'll get the good ones ordered. Only issue now is the lug nuts I have are super long lol. So I want to see if I can find some like 1in long black lug nuts.

There's a reason cheap isn't always right. Order the aluminum version of bora and you'll be fine.

100% BORA spacers. Don't mess around with losing a tire.

Stock wheel studs are 1.5" long

If you don't want to have to cut the stock studs 1.5" or larger is what you'll want.

Looks like you got your answer, motorsport-tech. Thats where I got mine a few years ago

Yep, I ordered the .5in BORA ones from Motorsport-tech. The only thing I'm still debating is if I should get extended studs. The ones I ordered look like these in the pic.

If still looking for longer studs; I found the Dorman 610-509 to be approx 1/2" longer than stock. They fit nice and tight in the hubs as well.
