Installed BORA 1.25" wheel spacers on stock wheels

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!

Best pic I could come up with...

Perfect! Yep, I'm gonna do it!

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?

Where'd you end up with the spacer situation? I'm considering a 2" lift on a non-Sas with the stock steelies. Figure it'll need spacers to run 35x11.5's.

They fit perfectly and there is really no rub at all at full lock. If you go for 315 or 35-I highly recommend the 3/8 spacer from bora. No trimming of studs with the 3/8 which is great.

Nicely done and thanks for the specific recommendation on the 3/8 size.
What tire size are you running? Mostly curious on the width.

Thanks!

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 BFG‘s…nice subtle stance!

Any clearance issues with on the studs hitting the back of the SAS wheels with 1.25" spacer?

I'm pondering doing the same for mine, but I was concerned with going 1.25" the factory wheel studs might protrude into the back of the wheel.

Thanks

I am consider the same 1.25" Bora spacers as well and still can't find clarification if trimming is required for SAS wheels

I ended up just doing 17x9 0 wheels. Perfect offset

New wheels look great! curious to know when you had the Bora 1.25" on your stock SAS wheels, did you have to trim them to fit?

If I was staying 35's, prob would've done -12,

I got the new wheels rather than doing spacers. Since I like you couldn't find a solid answer, I just said screw it

I did some digging and found this other thread that someone installed 1" BORA spaces on rear wheels where the threads tend to stick out more than the front, and the photo shows with measurement that 1.25" BORA won't need any trimming. Hopefully this info will help anyone searching for the same answer.

Did your spacers or offest wheel negatively affect steering feel at all. More effort to turn?

Wheels, didn't do spacers, and no, not in the slightest
