For those of you pondering wheel spacers, these are super high-quality, fit perfectly, zero issues driving at any speed. I have never run spacers, but figured to take a shot after reading many posts on this forum that had positive results. Here is what the poke looks like, stock Wildtrak rims with 37x12.5 BFGā€˜sā€¦nice subtle stance!

Sorry for the crappy pictures, it has been pouring all day!
So lift? Rub?
No lift, no rub (no rub even before the BORAā€™s). Completely stock wildtrak suspension (Hoss 2.0). The 37ā€ BFGā€™s run a bit small (36.5) so there may be issues with other brands that measure to a truer 37. But I only have been on the street so far. I have a 2ā€ perch collar lift going on soon.

I chose the BFGā€™s because Iā€™ve had them before with good luck, they are a three peak mountain rated tire for snow, and it is the OE tire they use on the raptors. Also one of the few (may be the only??) 37 inch tires with C load ratingā€¦

Looks great. And those are quality spacers.

I have always used Spidertrax 1.25" spacers with stock rims on my Wrangler TJ Rubicons.
I run 37" Tires and have had zero issues with the spacers and am closing in on 100,000 total miles useage on 2 different Jeeps.

I locktite the acorn nuts onto the wheel studs for the spacer and torque them to spec.
Then I mount the wheels. Unless I remove the spacers, I never re-torque them since they have loctite. I do retorque the wheels to the spacer bolts on a regular basis.

Basically just posting the above to state

Quality spacers, installed properly, will have no adverse affects and behave just as if you installed aftermarket rims with backspacing that results in the tires sitting in the same space.

FYI - Nice touch with the Black Bronco lettering on the front quarter panel

Love the setup, certainly changes the look!

Anyone tried the bora .375 on the BD steelies? I put 35ā€™s with 2 inch lift and now Iā€™m rubbing the UCA. Hoping a small spacer will alleviate the rub on full lock.

1.25 is minimum on steel wheel due to the flatness of the back of the wheel.

I was told by Bora that these, due to their shape, should work. Only concern that was highlighted by another member is not getting a full 7 turns on the lugs in the front. I have these on order, I'll keep you posted if they work. Orion, what setup are you running? Looks like you've still got your steelies. What tires? Spacers?

35-10.50R17 Kenda Klever RT with 1.25 spacers. So thinner spacers just go over the existing lugs then, makes sense.

I put Bora 1" spacers all around on my non-Sas Black Diamond with stock steelies in preparation for updating my 33" tires to 35". I was concerned with rubbing on the upper control arm. Don't have the tires yet to confirm it will clear, but I'm pretty confident it will. The spacers are very high quality...and being only 1", I did have to grind a bit off the top of the stud.

That looks great! I have the very same tire and wheel setup and was seriously considered 1.25 Borlas. Do you have a pic that shows the poke?
That sort of looks like Big Bend in the pics?
Thanks!
