Default Wheel spacers ?

OK, so I've got a 2013 f150 stx. Pretty basic. Ive done some research on spacers but I'm getting mixed answers. My pockets aren't deep enough to buy new wheels and tires with offsets so I'm wanting to put spacers on to give it some stance. Any suggestions on what's the best brand or how big to go. Bigger in the back than the front or same for both? Links to spacers would be appreciated as well, I've got 6x135mm bolt pattern. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bora are some of the best, make sure you get hub centric spacers to ensure they don't fall apart on you!

If you have stock 18's you'll want to make sure you get at least 1" spacers to ensure your stud clears them, if you have stock 20's you'll want at least 1.5". Otherwise you risk having to trim your studs.

Stage 3 has some different brands, call them


Edit: opposite, stock 18's minimum 1.5"

These are the ones I plan to get in June....I know several people who run them and they are very pleased with quality. I have to double check but I think minumum width is 2" for 18" wheels. Fred Goeske is a drag racing guru, give him a call and chat with him and he can point you in the right direction.

I put some of the Ebay hub centric ones on mine. 1.25 inch billet aluminum. I am very happy with them and the price was very reasonable. I have checked them after a few hundred miles and they are still torqued to specs and I have had no issues at all.

Good luck!

The Bora ones are nice. had them on for a while and go back and forth. I have 1.5 and wish I had a bit smaller.on 305/55-20 they do stick out quite a bit far and slings crap down the side of the truck.

Yeah for me I think the 1.25's are perfect. I still get a little bit of spray down the sides when turning but not too bad.

Mmmm I have 305's and ordered 1.5" boras, I also ordered egr fender flares bolt on style that come out 1.75" I think... do you think the 1.5's will stick out way too much? do you have pics?

I ran these for a while on my last truck, some of the best on the market. Read his tech info and you'll see why going with some cheaper aluminum ones isn't the best risk to take.
