1.5" Wheel Spacers on Sasquatch?

[tbor]

No but if you remind me later next week I can take a pic when I get back in country. They should only poke out one inch.

Would love to see the poke if you have a chance! Thanks

Anyone added any 1.5” wheel spacers on their Sasquatch bronco wheels yet? I like the factory beadlocks but just want a little poke outside the fender flares. From what I read in the F150 threads 1.5” is the smallest you can go without cutting the studs. Many jeep owners use them to get rid of that mail man jeep look with the factory wheels till they get aftermarket ones with a more aggressive offset. Also adds little more stability on and off road.

Personally I would never use spacers on my off road vehicles. If you want a little poke you're better off just getting a wheel with a more aggressive offset.

Thanks for sharing your opinion

Since the stress and strain on all of the system components (bearings, tie rods, rack, etc.) is exactly the same for a spacer as it is for an aftermarket wheel that nets the same offset, I assume that your reason for posting is that you have seen a lot of failures with the actual BORA spacer parts. Please share those experiences with us. Otherwise your comment does not bring any useful information to these discussions.

I’ll be installing mine next week and I’ll post pictures. I went with Mishimotos new brand Borne over BORA (mostly due to wait time) and they do look great. Turnaround time was about a week. I love my mishimoto radiator I have in my Super Duty.

Just to verify here, you have 315/70R17 KO2's on here right? Trying to get away with the same thing on my optional wheels. Thanks again.

1.5" spacers. 315/70/17 standard flares. No lift/level I personally think its a great look and ride. No issues on or off road. ~ 4500 miles since I went bigger tires. Was originally BL non squash with alt wheels

Hi BlueBronco - Do you happen to have a picture of the poke with the tires on and the 1 inch spacers installed?

Not much to look at. About an inch of poke.

That's perfect! One inch it is. You have the ideal for aggressive stance and not flinging rocks and looking like a douche haha

Honestly, that looks like what I wanted. Just untucks them from the fenders. Thank you for sending the pics. Now I just need a Bronco for my spacers.

Agree. That looks awesome. I want to go with 1” spacers with the same wheels. When the tires wear out I plan to upgrade to 315;35s. Will the 1” spacer be enough to eliminate rubbing?

Also, did you have to remove the crash bars? I read another poster switched to a modified crash bar setup (essentially cut in half). I’d like to skip doing that if possible.

Same 1.5” spacers just on stock 33” k02.

Installed my Bora 1" spacers on my wife's BL with opt wheels. The spacers on the front were flush with the studs. On the rears, the studs pokes beyond the spacer 3/16"

Did you swap to 35's or stay with 33's? Wondering if 1 inch spacer is enough to switch to 35's.

Stayed with 33's. The 1" spacer should be enough as it essentially changes the offset to match the Squatch wheels.

So quick math, that's basically the same as buying a rim with a +17 offset correct? Looks great.

That is the math I came up with also
