Also used Bora spacers on my wheels, def solid product as stated above.

Some of the stock wheels have 'pockets' where the stock stud would actually go so you dont have to cut. Obviously aftermarket wheels will vary.

I actually had good communication with the company via Facebook, thankfully.

So I've been debating on spacers ever since I got my license, I've heard all the negative things about spacers. Faster wear and tear on the suspension and what not. I've also heard people using spacers since day one with no issues at all. So my question is, I want my tires to stick about an inch past my fenders, would 1.5" spacers do this for me? Will I run into rubbing? Also truck is stock height with 285/70/17 Duratracs Thanks to all the replies!

I have a 2016 F150 FX4. I want to do the same to my truck. Why did you stagger the spacers? Just for the look you want or is there a technical reason? I have OEM rims that I really like and don't see the need to spend $1000.00 on new wheels. My tire size is 275.55.20. I would like them to stick out like yours. Any thoughts?

Are this 1.50 spacers? I ordered 1.50 bora and this is the exact look I want.

I did a staggered setup (see sig), just based on another thread here that I found useful. However, a full set of 1.5" spacers should work perfectly.

I'll find the thread I referenced as to the staggered setup, completely for aesthetics. Was trying to get an even offset all the way around.

Here is one of the threads a member wrote up: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/stagg...pacers-371106/

Due to the leveling kit, he actually went 1.5" on the front, and 1.25" on the rear. I think I may swap my spacers to that setup to even it out a bit better. The leveling kit causes the front suspension to suck in as others have found.

Can spacers be used with wheel after market wheels or will I have fitment issues? I got aftermarket wheels and wish they sat out another 1"-1.5"
