I’ve seen lots of trucks running wheels spacers. I’ve also read warnings about the risks.

Not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but are spacers bad? What’s the big deal?

Typically spacers are a bad idea.. especially on the vehicle as heavy as this one. I had them on my 2018 Miata and had no issues because the car weighed only 2300lb …

My close friend had spacers on his f150 from Amazon and driving down from the mountains we felt the truck wobbly, pulled over and all but 1 wheel spacer studs were broken off… we were traveling 75mph with the wheel holding on by 1 stud..

Regular f150 is significantly lighter than the RHO and doesn’t go off-road.

Honestly brotha I would strongly recommend against it from personal experience.

Looked something like this

I ran 1.5" spacers on a Wrangler Rubicon. Apples vs Watermelons right but wheeled the hell out of that thing. Buy quality and install correctly with periodic checks. Have all the confidence in the world for street driving. Jumping with 6400 lb vehicle is a bit sketchy.

Every horror story of failure I have read was from bad installation not product defects. You do NOT run the 1/2" ones that only space out the studs.

Wheel spacers are fine, but them from Bora and call it a day.

I agree and like I said I didn’t have issues but my buddy would have totaled his truck.. having a quality product and proper installation is key! And high quality spacers would run you $3-400 and sometimes at that point it’s worth just getting different wheels with the offset you want.


Do your research before potentially compromising safety of you and your truck.

I'm running some 15mm hub centric billet wheel spacers on my stock wheels, takes the stock wheels/offset pretty close to zero offset wheel at +4. (moves the wheel 5/8" outboard) They come with extended thread lug nuts that actually extend the thread engagement, flushes the tires out pretty good and haven't had them loosen up yet. Good option for guys wanting to retain stock beadlock wheels but wanting to push that tire outward a bit.
