Wheel spacers

[Ox69]

I've got a 6/5 zone lift. I want to run 325x60x20 tires on my stock rims. Can this be done? If so what size hub adapters and will I be able to do mild off roading with them. My stock tires are real close to my steering knuckle now. Any help and pic would be great.

It's not a good pic but here's my 1.5" BORA adaptors. They're supposed to be the best out there. You can offroad with them, they're rated for 30,000 lbs so you're good to tow as well! They're not cheap but remember..you get what you pay for. if I could do it over I might go 1.75 just for more offset. I'm happy with the look though! My tires are 325/60/20 on factory 20's. I'll get a better pic tomorrow of the side of the truck, as well as the space on the inside of the wheel well.

I'm running a similar setup. I have the RCX 6" with 325/60 Duratracs on factory rims. I am running a 1" spacer up front. 1" is the thinnest spacer you can get and still be safe. By safe I mean (bolt-on, hub centric and wheel centric) There is plenty of room between the back of the tire and the steering knuckle. That setup gives about a 4.75" backspacing. Oh and the factory lugs stick out past the spacer, but our factory rims have deep pockets between the lug holes, so I didn't even have to cut the lugs down. You will have issues with your spare tire though, unless you get a factory 20" rim for a spare like i did.

Here's the offset

Here's mine with the 1" spacers. There is plenty of room to slip my fingers between the steering knuckle and the tire.

Thank you for all the pic and knowledge. I think I'll get the 1.75 just to be safe. I may want 37" tire as well . So undecided on tire size. I'm going w/ nitto tires for sure. g2's or trail grapplers. The G2's I'm looking at are 325x60xR20/ 35.35" tall x 13.03 wide or the trail grapplers 295x65xR20/ 35.47" tall x 12..13 wide. It makes know sense to get35" tires when they do measure 34.53".

How long have you ran the spacers? Milage on them and how often do you check them?

Mine have been on for about 5000 kms. The manufacture said to retorque them after you've driven 5 miles and you're good to go. I had the dealer retorque them when I put my 35's on 3000 kms ago. I didn't ask if any were loose. I keep meaning to bring it into the shop to check but I've got too much on the go in there! Lol

Are those the spacers for the 02-12's? I saw them on BORA's site but they specified a 1" for the 13-14 and I'd prefer the 1.5" myself. I don't see why they wouldn't fit for the 13+ but just going by their website and wondering which you have.

Not sure, I called in and talked to the owner. He put the order together for me and I told him the truck I have

Well alright then, guess I'll do the same. Truck looks amazing BTW, great setup

I'm pretty sure the difference is the lugs on the 13/14 are different from the earlier years.

I have about 6k miles on mine and have checked them twice, just because I had the wheels off for other reasons. They were fine both times. I just strongly urge you to make sure the spacers are hub and wheel centric, so that the weight is transferred through the hub and not the lugs.

The studs are different size, but the adapters will fit on any 4th gen.

I've been running adapters for about 10K. Doing fine so far.
