Although I didn't notice that when i made my original post the same principle applies.

So I'll say it again for those that don't want to get caught on the side the road without the correct tools. If the studs stick past the spacer, even just a little, I would suggest trimming them down. Because although the indention on the OEM wheels don't require trimming to fit, the spare does not have these indentions.

Thank you everyone for the replies! I'll be running stock FX4 18" wheels. I will take some measurements once I get them mounted up with the new tires. Then decide for sure on the 1.25" spacers. 99% sure those will be the ticket .

Does anyone have any pictures of the 1.25" spacers they care to share!?

i just mounted a set tonight on my 18 with factory sport 20’s and there is no trimming required due to the pockets in the back of the wheels. They make the wheels and tires sit perfectly flush with the body now, and they look way better.

If you dig deep enough you'd see that most of the horror stories are from cheap spacers or improper installation. Theres been a couple spacer stories on here recently and after the first couple pages of people sharing their friend of friends spacer stories the the truth always comes out and the failure is from improper installation.

i have spacers installed on my Toyota Camry, with the extended studs. I think I would ideally like to go that route but was not able to find any application for our trucks

You cant find spacers for the f150? Google Bora or customoffsets

Been running 1.5 Bora's for 35-40K Miles with no issues what so ever. Most of which have been with the truck loaded down or towing.

Keep word is quality spacers and torqued correctly!
