Rather than bolt on they just use the vehicles existing lugs. They are however still hub centric.

How's the install on a 16? Trimming of the lugs needed? Where did you purchase from?

Depends on your particular wheel design. Rock Warriors, for example, have adequate voids for the .75” Bora bolts without alteration. Some wheels don’t.
Currently stock wheel setup w 275/70 ko2. Possibly looking to change out to Tundra TRD pro /bbs ones.

I don’t know the answer on those specific rims, but others here may.
Basically you just need a void space in the central area between your current wheel’s lug holes are. If you measure your lug length beyond the .75” the spacer will cover…that protruding lug length is how much void space your wheels need to allow for. Have a look at your current wheel’s inner face and see/measure.
Both if those have room so you don't need to grind down the studs. I run the OEM wheels with the Bora 3/4" spacers. It then (with some front mud flat molding) allow the 34" tires.
Oem LC wheels, or the OEM tundra TRD pros?
You can run 285/70/18 Nittro Ridge Grapplers using 3/4" Bora centrifugal spacers. (I used aluminum).
These are 33.98" or near 34"
If you are going to a larger tire like 35's you need different spacers and much more $$ for other parts.
There is a thread on 34 vs 35 which is a good read.
The main issue is clearing the KDDS on the front left tire.
This is actually a pretty cool option. For a couple reasons. A .375" (~10mm) and .5" (13mm") put stock wheels at pretty optimal offsets for common upsized 33" tires that people run. Netting effectively 50mm off and 47mm offset respectively when used with stock 60mm offset wheels.
It's not by chance that the factory Rock Warrior wheel has a 50mm offset for the recommended 285/70R17 (32.7" diameter) wheels. This is optimal for suspension geometry scrub radius, and will allow larger tire fitments to work and feel most like stock. Without subtle untoward behaviors that compromise handling and traction.
Provided the studs are long enough and engage enough threads on the lug nuts, these may be more desirable than using adapters.
1" spacers are more appropriate for 34-35" tires.
I believe that's the hiccup with using traditional spacers on stock length studs. I know someone had 10mm spacers made up for them and they found they did not get adequate tread engagement because our studs are fairly short. I believe our studs are M14x1.5 (correct me if I'm wrong), which would require 9.5 turns for proper thread engagement. So if someone wants to try, please report back with what you find, but I'd suggest starting small.
Agreed. Does Borla supply or sell longer M14 studs?
Travis said whatever they sent him didn't work, issue with knurling so stud wouldn't seat in the hub properly. So that piece of the puzzle needs to be figured out, I guess. If someone is up for the task, that'd be awesome.

Largest selection of extended length metric studs found here. You'll have to figure shipping from Australia.

when you say 3/4" bora spacers work with stock LC wheels, please state the year of the stock LC wheels. They do not fit without stud trimming on 2016+ Base LC rims. I have not tried them with the 08-15 rims.
