    I finally got them installed! I used BORA 1" spacers on the fronts to account for the extra backspacing. I've gotta say, the customer service at motorsport tech is outstanding. I called mid install of the spacers to make sure it was okay to install with a deadblow hammer, as they were really tight tolerances and they advised me it was fine to do so. The 1" spacer not only covers the studs, but puts the new wheel and tire even with the fender flare.
    The guys at the tire shop were complimenting on how good it looks now. Thankfully the guys there were fine with working with the spacers and made sure not to use an impact wrench when mounting the wheels to them. 0923170951.jpg 0922171933a.jpg 0923170951.jpg 0922171933a.jpg 0923170954.jpg 0923170953.jpg

    Are you at stock height, or running lift? I have those exact same wheels that I just had my summer tires mounted to. Haven't tried to bolt them up yet. Still wearing out my much worn Wild Country MT's, before putting my new DuraTracs on another set of wheels. Just curious if I will need the spacers since I have a couple of inches of lift.

    Completely stock. I could run them without spacers but it would be tight up front. 265-70-r16 tires
