Any of you guys running wheel adapters or spacers on your ride?? I would like to order 1.25'' for all 4 wheels, but wanna get some feedback first as far as what to avoid and such. I found a site that sells set of 4 for $365, seem like good quality and are wheel centric and hub centric but seems like a little steep in price....what you guys think?? Thanks guys

Nope. Nobody ever has run adaptors. ;)

I have 1.25 and love them.

Thanks for the info guys. I just checked out the Boras and they seem like the way to go on our trucks, about half the price of most others and seems like a lot of guys are running them. Gonna order me a set of the 1.25". Should I expect to have to do the PWM then or you guys think I will be ok? I got 305/60R18's Terra Grapplers on the factory wheels as you can see. Thanks again

Will get some before and after pics for you guys! I would like the looks of a 2'' spacer but not sure I would be comfortable losing that much turning radius and such......then again its only .75'' more than what I'm going with so maybe wouldn't even notice that much. Maybe someone on here has or had a 2'' spacer that could give feedback

Running 1" wheel adapters from Bora and everything is beautiful. Contrary to what people are saying on here, yes, you can run 1" adapters on the stock wheels.

There was a misinformed conclusion about the 1" adapters not providing enough clearance for the stock lug nut studs. In other words, the stock studs on the hub would stick out past the adapter plate not allowing the wheel to be bolted on to the adapter studs. However, the stock LE/SE wheels (don't know about the XE steel rims) have little pockets cast into them on the backside. That would allow room for the studs if they happen to protrude past the outer face of the adapter. They don't on mine and I'm assuming most Titans would be the same if they still have the stock OEM studs running LE/SE wheels.

BORAs are the best!!! I have them on my Titan and wouldn't recommend any other brand, although I'm sure there are a few other good sets out there.
Mine are 1.25" and only have them in the rear right now because when I installed spindles they pushed my front wheels out about an inch. I would like to throw my 1.25" spacers in the front and run some that are 1.75" - 2" in the rear.
Nobody said you can't run wheel adapters but some Titan owners have had issues running the 1" wheel adapters because their factory lug studs were a little too long and made contact with the back of the rim before being fully torqued down so you will often hear that nothing shorter than 1.25" for Titans should be installed.

The wider the spacer is just like less back spacing and puts more strain on your bearings/hubs so don't be shocked when you notice them howling sooner than expected. Otherwise quality spacers are great stuff. I beat up on my spydertraxx spacers on my wheeling rig. No problem.
