I added the link for the ceramic hub rings I purchased to fit the wheels to my longhorn below and they fit snug against the ram like a glove. I trust your word with the fitment of the 2" spacers you purchased and after reviewing the 2 other links you noted on hub dimension examples I feel the ones you bought are the better of the 3 construction wise. I plan on getting the readylift SST 3.5" lift kit purchased and installed in mid April and will then be buying the spacers you bought. Once a gain thank you for leading me to these. I love this Site!!!!

Cool!! Just make sure when you get them that they are torqued along with the wheels to 130ft/lb. After driving them for a 100 miles, take of the wheels and check the spacers to see that they are still torqued to 130, if not just re-torque...Good Luck!!! Show us the truck once its done. Yes this site is AWESOME

Hey dragon285, with your tires extending roughly 2" beyond your fender, are you finding them throwing debris up onto the fender?

I still have the stock tires so any liitle rock will get stuck on the tight grooves the tire has. As you can see on my video the tire doesnt stick out enough to do any damage. So no rocks hitting the sides yet. When i get some more aggressive tires then maybe yeah, but nothing yet.

Thanks Dragon, I appreciate the response.

I put 2 inch hubCentric spacers and have zero issues with my 2019 Laramie. I've had them on for 3000 miles already. At first i purchased the 1.5 inch spacers but that DID require me to trim the threads. I returned them and went for the 2 inch, and that required no trimming and it gave me the stance that I was looking for. I would recommend HubCentric, that way the spacer and tire will rest on the Hub and not on the lugs!! Here's a video of my Laramie with and without the wheel spacers. Hope this helps. Enjoy:

The link to product page you provided says for Chevy Silverado 1500 Suburban Express GMC Sierra Yukon Cadillac. I don't see any mention of 2019 dodge ram fitment within the description. Can you please verify that these fit[/QUOTE SO these 2" spacers definitely DO NOT fit. I just put the first on the front driver side and at half crank of steering wheel my tire completely locks up against the rear front wheel well. I have 33" 305/55R20 nitto ridge grapplers and without the spacer i clear with no issues. the 2" wheel spacers render my truck immobile.

I bought Boras for a Jeep I had. I plan on getting a set for my Ram soon. They look very similar to the brand you posted about. The 2” spacers are $72.50 each on their website.

So let me take a moment to give Dragon285 some much deserved credit. The Spacers that he recommended and listed def fit the the ram wheel bore. It's a good snug fit and I can say I feel confident and safe with the fitment/construction of the 2" spacers. The reason the they do not work with my wheel /tire setup is because i have 305/55R20 nitto Ridge Grapplers which are 12.44" wide. The stock tires that come on my 20" longhorn wheels are 10.3" wide which would allow for tire clearance using the 2" spacers. Now I know it's a popular demand and suggestion to go with "Bora" spacers but I can confirm these spacers from
YITAMOTOR are heavy duty and seem legit. My plan is to return the 2" for the 1.5" and if I have to trim my lug bolts then so be it. My 20" dropstar wheels have a +18 offset and the 2" is just a tad too far out for my taste. I am hoping the company will give me a reasonable trade for the return of the 2" and I will be going with the 1.5" spacers from them

Kudos to the Yitamotor recommendation. I went that route and saved $180. The 1 1/2” spacers fit my wheels with no modification to the lugs. Leveling kit goes on Friday.

I went with these in 1.5”. I just wanted slightly wider than the flares. I’ve had the same on my 2017 Rebel and no issues or paint chips.

I didn’t install them so I can’t say how close the center bore is but they were recommended by the shop that put them on.

Pic after install isn’t clean, we were hit by a big storm as I was waiting for them to be put on! Before and after should give you an idea though.

Here’s the link:

So I have a question that I'm hoping ya'll can answer. I recently traded my 2015 Ram 2500 which I had put 18x9 Fuel Maverick wheels on with Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires. I keeps this setup and was wondering if there is a wheel adapter that would allow me to put them on my 2019 Bighorn 4x4 crew with 5'7" box.

Are those your stock wheels? Do you know the part number?

Yes, they are the stock wheels. Including the pic of the leveling kit info. These are spacers that go on top of the strut. Not the preload version. They did cost me $230 to install and re-align.

Is getting your truck aligned afterwards necessary?

I have the 2 inch spacers with the 78.1mm center bore on and they are a perfect fit. No shake, rattle, or vibration in either driving or breaking. When i was doing my research I ran across a few web pages that claimed that the center bore for the 2019 ram 1500 was 77.8mm. I don't know what to tell you, but my spacers are 78.1mm and they fit snug and tight. I don't know if that 0.3mm will make a difference, but I've had my spacers on for about 3000+ miles and have had no issues. What made me decide on this size was another video of a guy actually putting on the hubcentric spacer on his 2019 ram and seeing it work. I got the Amazon Link from him, and that's how and why i got my spacers with those dimensions.

I just did a search for hubcentric spacers for the 2019 ram and there's 2 sites giving out different information... One giving a hub bore of 116.7mm and another giving a hub bore of 78.10mm. Check it out:

I hope these fit on a Limited 4x4. I just ordered them
