Wheel Spacer Help: Fred Goeske, Bora or Stahl?
Going with 285/65/20 BFG KO2's on a 2015 Ford F150 4WD Platinum w/ Fox 2.0 Performance Coilovers in front and 2.0 Performance in rear. Staying with the stock 20" Platinum wheels.
Local shop seems to think this will work. Not sure if wheel spacers will be needed or not? I've read through a lot of the forums and talked to a few shops and get different answers.
If wheel spacers are needed, any recommendations on size and vendor between:
1). Fred Goeske - http://www.wheeladapter.com/ford_wheel_spacers.php
2). Bora - https://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI/switchtruckmodel
3). Stahl Steel - https://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCG...itchtruckmodel

From what I can gather, if you are towing heavy loads I'd go with the FG's. If not, I think the Bora's should be plenty good, which is what I ordered last night actually.

The Stahl and fred Goeske look to be good quality. I am about to buy a set, I cant decide on 1.25 or 1.5. Looks like you have already done some research for me.
The Stahl says that they are made out of steel. And the Fred Goeske are made out of ALCOA billet aluminum. I think having a lighter spacer is better. Also its better to have less unsprung weight. I'm thinking the Fred Goeske are the way to go from looking at the two.
Also the motorsport-tech website is charging tax and shipping when I live in Texas. Why tax? The Fred Goeske are free shipping and no tax they are out of CA.

Update:
I called Fred Goeske and spoke to a guy named Dean. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He said they are Billet aluminum made of 6061 lifetime warranty and free shipping. They are also hub centric from the back of the spacer to the wheel so everything lines up. I will defiantly be getting the FG.
If you want to call him to order I called 818-992-5700 - Dean.

I also forgot to mention that he (Dean) said if you have aftermarket wheels, be sure to call and make sure that they match due to being hub-centric. He can make spacers to fit aftermarket wheels. If you have aftermarket wheels you have to make sure that the hub ring matches or you might get a shake at highway speeds. Google hub-centric wheels if you want to know how it all works. If you don't have aftermarket nothing to worry about.
