Hey again guys, just getting info on some of the UCAs that say there needs to be at least 5.5inch or less back spacing on the wheel. Is that because the aftermarket UCA are longer and will hit the back end of the tire? Sucks if that is the case because I dont want to get new wheels. Thanks

You can get some BORA hub centric spacers to reduce your backspace. I’m running factory rims with 1.25” in the front and 1.5” in the back (the truck has slightly uneven track from the factory, so it evens it out).

Hey Clazer, thanks for that information! I have been debating about doing spacers. I have had them before on my previous cars. Just becomes a hassle when changing the brakes and stuff. Did you end up changing your UCAs also?

Any pictures?
