What size tires are you running? I too have the front OEM spring spacers and am stock the rest of the way. I have 275/70/r18 on the bronze heritage edition wheel. Just received my 1” bora spacers and will install this weekend.

275/70r18 Toyo AT3s, removed my front mud flap and did some slight massaging of my front fender liners.
Would you mind posting a few pictures of your Cruiser? I'd like to see the stance of the wheels with the wheel spacers and OEM spring spacer.

I've got this exact setup on my truck. See pics at the beginning of this thread
Sure thing. Here are a few. I dropped it off today at my local shop to install an Ironman Foam Cell Pro kit - 1” comfort load front and back. Had a great stance before, I just wanted to tighten it up a bit especially when hitting interstate bumps at 70mph. Felt a little too wobbly. I’ll post more pics when I pick her up tomorrow.
Looks great. I like what you did with blacking out the chrome - very nice!
Is anyone running 1” Bora spacers on 285/65/18 KO2s with HE wheels? Wondering if this combo will rub

I believe the ko2 in stock sizing are slightly bigger and chunkier than the OEM tires. I’m hoping it doesn’t rub.
Correct me if I am wrong, but OEM size is 285/60R18. The 285/65R18 KO2 is about .75” larger diameter than OEM. I put this tire on my 2018.
I just ordered the HE wheels to change out the stock, with the current tire. I also ordered the Bora 1” spacers and have the same question as @NLE with regards to rubbing. I am also hopeful that no stud trimming will be necessary. It seems that is the consensus here, but there appear to be some comments to the contrary.

Shouldn't cause rubbing those saying you need to trim the studs are misinformed. The HE wheels, hell even the stock wheels have indents that clear the stock studs.
Thanks for the response. Will add some before and after pics once I get everything in.
I'd say this is correct for the parts in question. IIRC, it's the '13-'15 LX570 wheels that may not have a pocket cast into the wheels to clear studs on a 1" spacer

I haven't done anything with an LX570 unfortunately, so @TeCKis300 is probably correct on this.
Stock LC wheels have indents that will enable a 1" spacer to clear the bolts.
Do you know if a 0.75” will clear?

not factually.
But there is still plenty of space in the recesses of the stock LC wheels (I have HE wheels, so your mileage may vary) and I would expect a 0.75 to clear.
I think if the OE wheel has pockets cast in, both 1" and .75" will work. At least I've not heard of people having trouble with the .75" otherwise.
Worth a check either way. Full mount a wheel on and then unmount. Look for any potential witness marks.
