GEN 2 Bora Wheel Spacers Installed

[GT11]

Anyone can modify their own truck to their liking. It’s their truck. Im sorry is advance for this opinion and I may be in the minority here but personally, not a fan of the looks like I put the wrong offset or got these wheels on a deal even though they don’t quite fit look.

It seems like nobody really calls out folks who go with aftermarket wheels that adjust the offset to push the wheels out a bit. I think there are a few of us that actually like the factory wheel... appreciate the quality/strength of the factory beadlocks, but just want a minor stance adjustment. I used some high quality ones on a predecessor vehicle (Tundra TRDPro) without issue... i think i went 1 1/4” with factory wheels and 35”. I’m considering something minor on the Raptor. Just did Geisers and Icons but staying with stock wheels and tires for now. If not planning to go to 37”.. do you guys think I’m apt to have interference issues with 1 1/4” Bora’s? I mean... i don’t see too many flights / serious jumps in my future but envision some bouncing around for sure.

Edit: i also understand (and get) the concept of introducing an additional failure point. I think it goes without saying that you absolutely have to go with high quality. Some have also argued why one would replace the quality of a factory beadlock with a run of the mill (not forged) wheel. Just for the sake of discussion (not looking for argument

Agreed @MZRaptor72. The offset of my factory wheels with the 1.5" spacers are the same as aftermarket 17" wheels such as Method, Icon, Black Rhino, Fuel, etc.... Quality spacers such as Bora Installed Correctly have zero risk of failure. I challenge you to find someone that has had a Bora wheel spacer fail that was not an installation error.

There are a lot of idiots out there that dont properly install spacers or used Chinese junk and they fail. Then they blame the spacers and dont take responsibility for their crap install.

I know there are people out there that would be interested in spacing out their stock wheels so I thought I would just share my experience with installing them. If you dont like them feel free to move onto the next thread.

I am normally not a fan of wheels poking out past the fenders, but this guy did his moderately. I don't think it looks bad. He's happy, so that's all that matters.

When you add a wheel spacer to a powerful vehicle you are adding a potential failure point.View attachment 124906

The only messaging from that picture is to not purchase cheap Chinese shit off of Ebay.

Looks good. I went with 1.25” boras (on order) for mine as I too like my factory 19 bead locks and the 1.25” should be a little less than 0 offset aftermarket wheels per my calculations and I believe that should put them flush with the fenders

When I got my truck last August, Everybody said “level it, raise it.” Gave it a Lot of thought, decided Ford knew more than I did and left it alone. I Did put Black Rhinos on it which pushed the wheels out a hair. That, tint and lights is all I’m doing.

Oh yeah, I lineXed the skid plates. And I am a happy camper.

@FlyingRaptor and @Mbdurham... did either of you get any rubbing issues post Bora spacer installation and did either of you do any front or rear suspension mods?
