Which thickness wheel spacers for factory 22s?

[ABQ Mike]

I have a 19 ram black edition with the factory 22s and did the 2 inch lower in the back, just wanting the wheels flush with the fenders. It’s a lease so I don’t want new wheels/tires, and hoping to get the spacers with studs so I don’t have to install longer wheel studs, but can’t seem to find threads with which thickness for a nice flush look.

I'm dealing with this too hoping to figure something out soon. May just have to place longer studs as bad as I dont want to.

Customoffsets.com in the wheel spacer section has some specs on what size spacer should be used in order to avoid cutting factory studs. But a safe bet would probably be 1.75 or 2”. That should definitely make you flush or maybe even a hair outside the fender. I’ve contemplated spacers also(only bora) but I purchased my truck and I’m saving for wheels and tires.

If you do it, post them pics!

The guys with 2 inch stick out pretty far... what research I've done so far says I need 1 inch to be flush, but front and rear aren't the same apparently either so they may not match perfectly. I kinda lost interest in dropping $200 to guess and will wait until someone else does it first

Dooworks did it with 2" spacers on stock wheels I believe. Look on youtube, it's there for sure

He did, I actually just recently watched that video. And there is a decent amount of stance, and OP is looking for flush which unfortunately most likely means trimming studs. I don’t think he wants to trim studs as his truck is a lease. He may however be close to flush with the 1/2” spacers that doowork was going to try.

Just to add to the 22" Wheel thread, i figured i would throw this info out there...
I have a 2020 Night Edition with the 22's and bought some 1" spacers on amazon in hopes of a flush look... tried them this weekend on one of the front wheels, they would not fit inside the hub of the wheel itself, the shoulder of the spacer face hit the area i marked in red on the wheel
So I'm curious if the 2019 22" wheels are the same and i could just buy the more expensive spacers from Bora or whatever...
I'll start my own thread if I have to, again just thought this was fairly on topic.

That’s weird, I wouldn’t imagine them being any different. I also have never run spacers but I would personally only run quality, like bora. Like the ole saying goes “you get what you pay for”. I don’t want one of my wheels falling off going down the road. Also thanks for the pictures, looks like 1.75” is the minimal size before having to trim studs.

Thx i agree i will contact Bora with this info
I did read a thread where someone stated 1.5" worked without trimming but even these 1" units look like they would have cleared if the hub didn't rub.

Well if you get the 1.5” bora spacers and they work without trimming and there’s no fitment issues post your results. I’d like a more flush or wide stance and not a tucked/factory look. I’m still looking to get some 20x12. But when the factory wheels are on a flush stance would be nice.

I installed the 2 inch Bora about 6 -7 months ago. It was perfect. The ride was smooth and I loved the stance. The only issue I had was when I tried to rotate the tires/wheels the tech couldn’t take them off. I took it home and pounded on the wheels with a rubber mallet (wasn’t easy) to get them off. Apparently the paint in the middle of the spacers had welded them selves to my hubs.
Once I go them off I sanded the middles so it wouldn’t happen again

I’m about to go the same 2” spacer route but with stahl. I want steel for more load capabilities. I’ll also most likely use anti seize to try and avoid things sticking and seizing.

Have a 2020 Night edition with the 22's
i ordered 1" for front and 1.5" for rear for a flush even look, from Bora, should have them next week will report back with pics.

I wanted a flush stance like a few others have mentioned on here, so I went with the Bora 1” in front and 1.5” in rear. If I’m being overly critical, it looks like the rear is out 1/4” further than the front... I was nervous about the front spacers being too long, but I did not have any issues with the kit straight out of the box from Motorsport-tech. I’m pretty handy with tools and the total install time was 1.5hours. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Sorry about the weird rotation on the photos. I’ll update from my PC tomorrow.
Another thought- I have not seen many comments on how much smoother the ride is with a wider stance. It was noticeably better as soon as I pulled out from my driveway. Good luck to all! This site has been a great resource for me so I hope that I can pay it forward!!

Looks great, the “pockets” in the back of the oem wheel definitely help running smaller spacers and still not having to trim studs.

Reporting back with the 1" front and 1.5" Bora spacers as well
They fit very snug into the hubs of the 22" wheels, you have to tighten one lug a few turns at a time to get them to snap in evenly.
Other than that they are great, although i think i should have gone with 1.25" in the back, they stick out a little further than i thought they would which is weird because stock it looked like the rears were tucked in so much more than the front.

Based on other users in this thread I went ahead and got 1" front and 1.25" rear Bora spacers and got the conservative flush look I wanted for my Laramie Sport with 22" wheels. I also chose these sizes based on the fact that the track width is 68.5" front and 68.1" based on Ram's specifications. With the spacers that effectively would make for a nearly square setup at 70.5" and 70.6". That being said, I still think I could have gone a bit wider upfront and gone 1.25" all around. Still happy with the way it turned out.

did you have to trim down the lugs at all? It looks great, I think when it’s time to get new tires I’m gonna go with 305/45, so a nice flush or mild negative offset stance would be nice.
