I am planning to run 0.75 inch spacers as well. On my 2018 LC the front wheel stud is 0.94 inches (the rear is 1.09 inches). This will need a minimum recess in the wheels of 0.19 inches to clear the front studs and 0.34 inches to clear the rear studs. The recess varies, but it is just under 0.19 on my OEM wheels so it will bottom out in the front and not work for the rear without some mod. What I did is drill out the recesses some more to 0.26 inches deep using a 7/8 flat bottom drill bit (made a jig to drill the right spot and depth) to have plenty of room to fit the front and with trimming the rear stud 0.1 inches should be good to go.
Hope this info helps.
Looks sweet, thanks for the pics, I might go a little thicker in the rear now, maybe 0.85 inches.
So your OEM wheels had deep enough recesses to take the 3/8s of the stud sticking out on the rear?
I think the OEM wheels *just* had enough depth using my crude depth measuring device. I took my LC on a 10+ mile test drive and got up to 90mph. No issues, perfectly smooth.
BORA doesn't show 0.85 inch spacers on their website. The next step up is 1" - I originally placed an order for 1" and called them the follow day to change it to 0.75 (should have stuck with my initial choice).
I'm undecided on tires but looking to step up to a 32 or 33". I'll post up pics when I get tires.

Believe motorsports will make custom sizes if you call them. I love my 1" spacers though...
Update: installed my 1" Bora spacers yesterday...love the look. Will be out test driving today.
FYI - you'll need a 19mm socket for the nuts that mount the spacer to the hub, and then your regular 22mm for the lug nuts, as normal. All my 19mm impact sockets were in my small wheeled tool kit in storage, so it caused a few days of delay.

Update: Very happy with the handling and appearance post-spacers. Haven't driven enough for a definitive report, but it does feel more planted around town. Wife just took the LC on a round trip to VT this weekend, and there were no comments or complaints, so there's that.
Tech update and warning: approximately 1 week and 300 miles later, I removed all 4 wheels and re-torqued all of the nuts holding the spacers to the hub. Interestingly, TWO of the five nuts on the right rear were not at full torque - maybe 15-25 degrees of rotation before I got a click on the torque wrench.
This was the first wheel I checked, so I was pretty surprised and nervous, but it ended up that all of the other ones were fine. So, a word to the wise: RE-check those torque settings a little while after you mount your spacers. Yes, it's a hassle, but it's kind of important. I know I'll be checking them with every tire rotation and wheel change from here onward....
