*** BORA WHEEL SPACERS Group Buy #2 ***

thanks Lenny

 

Ammm I didn't get mine. ???????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!


Ok Positive thoughts...

 

Getting a wobble/wavey sensation at ~58-60 mph... any one else and how did you fix it?

 

Same here. When it stops raining I'll pull a front wheel to take a look.

 

What are you guys torquing the spacers to?

 

Torque them the same as your wheels. 2nd gens are 83ft/lbs I think.

 

I didn't put mine on yet. But now I bet that I'm going to feel something lol

 

there is a possible chance my spacer lugs were installed backwards.... hoping it fixed it by switching them?

 

Good luck..... keep us posted!

 

I worked on a co-worker's rig most of the day but managed to get the rear spacers on as it was getting dark out... will do the fronts tomorrow. I did 83 ft lbs on all lug nuts.

Found out the GDMF shop that my wife took the truck to for inspection LIED! They said the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The shoes are within 1/16th inch of the new ones! This is obviously one of those shops that tries to take advantage of women. I have pics of the new next to the old shoes. BASTARDS! Well, I have my next set of shoes and pads already bought and paid for.... Wagner PosiQuiet shoes and the same for the pads but in Ceramic.

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I finish the front. The back looks GREAT! Hope my test ride doesn't yield the same results as a couple of you. I know I have the lugs all on correctly... dome toward the brakes.

***EDIT*** Added these pics tonight. First, shot of OEM shoe vs. new shoe.... next two are the rear spacers mounted.

 

Put mine on last week. Did the final wheel retorque yesterday. I had to trim the rear studs 1/4 inch.

Rear:

What size spacer did u get. I plan to put those same size rubber on stock 17's. Lift will have to wait.

 

Here's a side-by-side of before and after for the 1.25" spacers. Love the new stance! Thanks Lenny!! And thanks for this group-buy!

Last two shots are before and after...

 

You bought the 3/4" spacers, right? I also had to trim the rear studs on my '00 4runner.

 

Spacers really helped push the rear out.


Thanks again!

 

Something came up, forced to sell my new spacers... will be putting a fs thread up later for my 1" x4 spacers if anyone is looking that missed the gb.

 

Fixed the 60mph wobble. Don't know what it was though.
Took off both front wheels, left spacers on. Wiped everything clean. Wheels back on and all is well now.

 

Well boys i need to do some venting out.

I'm still waiting for my spacers.

 

sorry to hear that….
so ironic being that you put this together…..


hope you get 'em soon!!!
