Wheel Spacers on Stock Truck

[byebyebowtie]

Anyone with a laramie sport running wheel spacers on stock suspension wheels and tires? I feel like it just doesn't have the fitment that rams are so good about.

I am running the BORA 1.75" spacers. I'll take them off when I find the right wheels next spring.

Here is a great thread with many many pics of variables of wheel spacers---

Wheel Spacers

Has anyone put wheel spacers(specifically hub centric bored) their 2019 RAM? I'm looking to widen the track but I'm not in the market to get new Wheels and Tires yet. I don't want them to extend out past the fender well but about an inch to an inch and a half. If you have, please tell me what...

depending on which wheel spacers you get in regards to trimming of things. Thread is bit long but very informative regarding the wheel spacers. My truck is in there too!!! But since ya requested, I can't deny you a pic of it...lmao!!!

I think from what I remember, the 1.5" spacers you have to take a tiny little bit off, not on the 1.75.

Sorry for what is probably a stupid question but is there any benefit to the spacers other than maybe a preferred look?

I'm running BORA 2" on stock suspension with OEM 22" sport wheels and tires. No trimming, no rubbing.

If you put 1.5 inch spacers on, you end up adding 3 inchs of width to the wheelbase, which theortically would make it more stable around corners (kind of like how training wheels stablize a kids bike; the farther "out" you can put the training wheels, the more stable it gets). In practice, I have no idea how much effect 3 inches actually has.

Most people probably do it just for looks.

I'm running Bora 1.5" spacers and no trimming was required...

Are our trucks proportionate front to rear with spacer sizes? Or do we need different sizes to make it look even?

From what I’ve read on here it looks like the rear is .25” to .5” narrower in the back. I went with .25” bigger boras in the back. They are getting made now and will be able to update once installed.

Went with 1.25” and 1.5” for a more flush look.
