these are for sale on Stage3Motorsports.com
any real-world opinions on these? I know everyone and their brother loves the BORA. However, just curious if this is something I should stay away from or go ahead.

I recommend avoiding wheel spacers, on ANY vehicle, like the plague. That's just my $.02 though.

 

For the $50.00 difference from these to Boras i would vote Bora. Boras have the best reputation from what ive seen.


Did you personally have an issue with spacers? Ive heard and read lots of horror stories too but most are either improper installations or some cheap ebay spacer.

 

I almost got those but a set of Fred Goeske 1.5” spacers came up for sale so I went with those instead. I’ve been running them for ~10k miles with aftermarket wheels, issue free. A quality spacer, along with proper upkeep will not cause you any issues, just my opinion. Install them properly and check them often, should be fine.

 

how often are you checking them? every 5k tire rotation? what does your "check" involve? TIA

 

My check just involves checking torque on them. I re-torqued them initially after 100 miles, 500 miles and then every rotation since, I rotate roughly every 3k (normally I’d do 5k but I revisit them a little sooner just because of the spacers). I’m sure everyone has a slightly different schedule they feel is best. Some even suggest using blue loctite, and/or checking as frequently as every 100 miles.
