The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Yes what Silas said.

I am also a huge advocate of ET lugs for the front spacers. BIG TIME. the front studs are super short as it is. The ET lugs help grab a lot more. Im running them as well.

And i would do .75 BOJA(think thats the company) spacers all around. It'll also widen the stance a bit and probably look pretty sweet.

 

Yea id go with a full on spacer personally. The waffer ones..not..a great..spacer. And yes you would need longer front studs for that.

Id do what i just posted above personally..but 1/4'' ones with longer studs is an option too.

Id want the front and rears to match personally though

 

longer studs would be a good idea, but I think ET (extended thread) lug nuts would be easier. Both options provide essentially the same outcome...

 

im not sure ET lugs would work at all really with the waffer spacers

 

Yep....

They're BORA spacers.... good quality product. http://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI/special/truck/clickedlug_s

 

oh.... I've never run them before, personally. why not?

 

BORA! damn it haha Close enough haha

yea they look like a good spacer. Do they sell ET lugs too? My ETs are Allpros.

FYI this is the difference..

 

Idk..maybe the slots cut for the studs wouldn't let the ET part of the ET Lug through??

 

Thanks guys, i'll measure tomorrow and see where a .75'' spacer would put me.

 

Probably wouldn't be a huge difference. I mean..this is 1.5'' for a 10.5'' wide tire..






.75 would be just outside the fender id guess. Probably put the tread lugs even with it.

 

265 is too small. Go bigger lol

 

it'd be about half that minus .07''
I'm not a fan of real wide tires, i like the skinnier tires like ben's

 

Hmm... That's a good point. Thought about that, but it seems 1/4" spacers are usually made to fit several different bolt patterns/sizes. Our trucks have relatively small studs at 12mm.

Either way. Good to stay away from 'em for sure...

 

well. I guess if your handy with wood or have some PVC lying around make some .75 spacers just to put inbetween the wheel and hub and hand tighten down the wheel to see while on jackstands. Can't hurt.

 

Dude, those shots from the 3rd Leg of your trip.........






...

 

Thanks man! lots more in the main Picture thread.

 

Monte, I decided to run those wheels without anything for now, if it bothers me to bad that it rubs at full lock than i'll get a , extended lug studs, and

 

Not saying that they're the best option, but I've been running 1/4" spacers up front since February or March. So far standard lug nuts haven't had any problems with coming loose.

If you don't mind having a wider stance, then I'd definitely recommend the .75" spacers like everybody else. My tires stick out far enough as it is, so I went with just 1/4".

 

Yea brent your a 12.5 wide tires though. His are just 10.7s or something..under 11''.

Jake, thats a good plan. It'll probably only really bother you at full stuff and full lock. which will only happen offroad so probably not a huge issue.

 

I don't really care for the wider stance, my 95 tacoma had spindles and different rims that kicked them ~1'' outside the fender, i don't really like that.

Yeah

I think that 1/4'' will be easier to retourque every 100 miles than a .75 or bigger spacer.
