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.
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.

I’m running 0.75 Boras and no issues. Had them w original OEM wheels and now TRD BBS / HE wheels. No trimming of studs needed.
To OP- what did you end up doing ?

My 0.75" tolerance are almost too tight as well. I called Bora and had a email chain going. Long story short they said they don't do custom machining. This was back in 2023. Wonder who did you talk to and what did you tell them for them to correct yours.
I had received a set that was way too loose. There was play around both the hub of the vehicle and hub bore of the wheel. Took a video showing the slop and emailed it to the main customer service line. Was forwarded to a Taylor Berger from there. He sent me a return label and said they would inspect it and advise further. Didn't hear anything for like 6mo and a new set randomly showed up on my doorstep.
I ordered through motorsport tech.
Previously I had received a set that was just a little too tight to the hub bore of the wheel and vehicle. I took some sandpaper as precisely as I could to the spacer to relieve a little bit since I could still get the spacer and wheel on by incrementally torquing the lugs down.
The products seem nice, but when half of the spacer sets I've ordered have issues I start to lose faith. And turnaround time is crazy long as well. I've gone to spidertraxx now and been very happy. Both sets I've ordered just work without issue. They have less thickness options but now that I have aftermarket UCAs, the 1.25" is more appropriate up front than the 1" and .75" I've previously run. They use beefier hardware as well which I like.

Same thing. I got new tires. No shaking.
