Wheel spacers and tires so far.

[cgraydotcom]

Switched out the tires for some 275/60R20’s. Kept factory black wheels. Added 1.500” wheel spacers. Leveling kit goes on next week.

Great set up hopefully I'll get mine looking like that soon

Looks great but you need some black lug nuts!

Looks perfect! I also did the 1.5" spacers on all 4 corners to compliment my 2" level, 1" rear lift, and 295/70R18 (34") Nitto's.

What brand spacers did each of you go with and who did the install? Also, I've seen some posts about having different size on the front and back. Do you feel that yours being the same size they stick out the same from the wheel wells or are the different front to back? It's hard to tell from the picture angles.

I went with Bora's. I had them on my Jeep GC and they worked great. I actually did 1" front / 1.25" rear on my Jeep and that yielded the perfect stance where the front and rear tires just poked out from the fender flairs about .25".

But with the Ram and the big tires, lift, etc. I didn't think I need to micro-tune to that effect. I have not measured yet how far they protrude front and rear. I'll get around to that one day. But it's looks relatively even

Here's one more pic for a little more perspective:

1.5 in cleared the existing studs/stems or did you have to trim them?

I’m still deciding if I want the black lugnuts. I thought I did, but not minding the chrome for now.

I went with the Yitamotor spacers this time. The Boras were $280, and the Yitas were $99. Exactly the same product. They did go on tight tho. The ID of the spacer goes onto the wheel hub smoothly, but the OD of the spacer hub is .005” larger than what the ID is, which causes the wheel to fit very snug onto that area. I just gradually tightened 3 lugs and allowed the wheel to pull onto the hub. I did the install myself.

The 1.500” spacers fit my wheels without trimming because there is a .580” deep pocket on the backside of the wheel where the extra length of the lug fits into. I will include pics.

The overall width of the stance is around 1/2” narrower on the back vs the front. Based on my tape measure reading. The package deal I purchased was for 4 spacers, so I did not worry about getting a different set for each. You might look up the specs and get a better measurement, but I do not notice a big difference.

Those look great! Now I feel dumb for dropping $250 on the Boras!

The reason the wheel fit so snug is because the Ram hub is a different size from the Chevy. Chevy is 78.1 while ram is 77.8.

I agree. Love the setup! Also like the idea of black lug nuts. Do you have a link where you are getting the black lug nuts for our trucks?

Thanks! Kind of spendy. $144 for some lugs. Guess you have to pay to play.

I wouldn't! You get what you pay for bud!!! So my question is; do you think 2" all around will be too much? Do you rub at all, and did you have to trim your stems using the 1.5" spacers?

I just got these and put them on. They are OEM specs; not as "beefy" as the factory, but work great.

If you're running AT tires I think 2" spacers would not be too much. Personally I don't like a stance where the tires protrude past the fenders with street tires.

I did not have to trim the lug stems with 1.5" spacers.

My set-up is 295/70R18 (34.3") tires, 2" ReadyLift level in front, 1" spacer in the rear, 1.5" wheels spacers on all four corners. And YES... I do have some rubbing. When braking hard and turning nearly full left I get just a little buzz on the left front fender.
