Default Hub Centric Spacers

I have a 2011 FX4 with a 6'' lift... 35x12.5x20 wheels and tires(no rubbing)...I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to offsets, will a set of Bora 1.5'' hub centric spacers fit my rig to get a more aggressive stance or will I need to do lots of trimming along with cutting the studs?

1.5 spacers you will not need to cut studs.. you may be fine with the 6” depending on the wheels you have now.. offset and backspacing.

If you buy a good set of spacers, you will absolutely not need any cutting... Spacers will bolt directly to your OEM studs and your wheel will bolt in your spacer's studs.

You need to buy a thick enough set in order not to have OEM studs that could stick out.. good or bad quality has nothing to do with trimming studs.

Doesn't the wheel being used play a part in these as well?

Naw.. the spacer bolts to the hub.. if the spacer is thick enough like 1.5” you need not cut of the hub studs.. they are not sticking out like .5 -1” spacers would be.

ahhh, ok.
I know some wheels have little pockets in the spokes and figured that maybe the excess stud could go in there.
