Facebook marketplace impulse buy... $750!!!

Going to need to get 1.25 spacers, like others have said, too close to the upper control arms. I plan on switching to a 35x11.5 which might clear, but these tires had a bit more tread left on them than I expected so I will probably just run them til they're shot.

Overall happy with how they look, I put my stockers back on for now until I get the spacers. I currently have a .25" spacer and it's just not enough.

I like the stock wheels, but this is a completely different look!

$750 that’s a steal! Looks mean w/ the new setup!

Maybe fender flares in the foreseeable future to match that poke when you have spacers???

Yeah I'll have to see. I don't think it would be terrible, I have 0.25" spacers now so one more inch won't be too wild, they're barely past flush now.

I don't want to trim the studs, I think 1.25" is the minimum without trimming.

I had to trim the fender liner/mud flap slightly. Still have a very tiny rub close to full lock, but I'll sort it out. Very happy with it. Ended up getting 1.5" spacers.

I have 1.25 Bora’s that I would be willing to sell. Only ran then a few hundred miles and put new wheels on with 0 offset.

They look great! I'm wondering if I can get a set of TRX rims and maybe put smaller 34" tires and clear without spacers? At the moment, I just don't feel comfortable using them.

I think it might still be close, I know there's another post about TRX wheels and someone gave a lot of info on how much gap there is to the control arm based on tire size.

"Doing some quick math based on the reported 3/4" of clearance on a stock tire:
295 = .35" clearance
305 = .15" clearance
315 = tire contact with UCA
325 = tire contact with UCA"

Thank you for the info. Sounds like then I'll either just get use to spacers, or I'll go Methods 18" -12 .

Though I really do like the idea of OEM plus with the TRX wheels, just get over that spacers phobia.

I'd have to impulse buy a set at that price too if they popped up in my area. I too am not a fan of wheel spacers, but if I found a set of the TRX takeoffs for that kinda steal, I'd probably get over it.

You might be able to get this guy to meet up with you somewhere in SoCal on his way to the Bay Area from Tulsa. I'm sure you could get a set of 4 for less than $1k and they are the better looking beadlocks.

I'll get back to you, I do think the poke is slightly excessive with the 1.5", but I may need to run these until I get 35x11.50s. I don't think a 1/4 inch will make much difference
