Bora spacer issues (1 Viewer)

[dnh1]

My truck was running great. I just installed .75 Bora spacers and now it’s shaky at high speeds and seems to pull to one side. My tires are older. Thoughts?

Been running my Boras for a few years. Never experienced the issues you are describing. Are you sure everything was torqued properly?

do the wheel studs project further than the installed face of the spacers?.75 is pretty narrow and if there's no cavity or space for the studs to clear touching the wheel rim, you may be torquing the wheel to those irregular projecting studs and not the flat face of the spacer. this would be very bad and extremely unsafe.

to be clear, installation of narrow spacers often requires trimming the stud length to prevent interference with the proper rim/spacer interface. you probably know this, just posting to help you troubleshoot your symptoms.

Yea I think you are right about this. Mine are 1" and if I remember correctly that is the lowest you can go without trimming studs.

Sounds simple, but make sure they’re installed and torqued correctly. Also if you don’t have wheels that have the recessed areas on the back of the wheel you’ll need to trim the studs. If you have oem wheels you may not need to. I’ve run .75” bora spacers up front with tundra wheels and did not need to trim. Not sure if rear would need trimming, I did a 1” in the rear.

Also does the spacer fit snugly to the hub before you tighten? And also off the truck, snugly into the wheel? I’ve had a couple sets of boras I had to send back over the last 2 ish years due to improper tolerances. Annoying and takes a couple months due to their turnaround time, but they did make it right.
