Thinner than 1.25 Wheel Spacers?

[MAXISTYLES]

Does anyone have Wheel Spacers thinner than 1.25 on their 5th Gen? I do not want the wheels to stick out past the fender, but to be as close to flush as possible. Looks like Bora has .75, 1.00, + + +. Pics and/or Opinions would be nice.

Thinner bolt on spacers are not possible due to the length of the studs, physical spacers that slip over the lugs are possible but not advisable and are sometimes dangerous.

Thanks for a fast reply. 4th Gen guys must have shorter studs than? Looks like they are running .75 and 1.00.

I bought a pair of the .75 Bora from Motorsport that I was going to use on my LE 20" wheels, but decided to put on Konig 6 shooters and did not need the spacers. The only thing that you need to worry about with them is that the existing studs are longer then the .75" think spacer, and if the wheel does not have a pocket in that area, the stud will hit the back off the wheel. Although I never mounted them up on my LE, it looked like the way the 20" wheels are made, it would have been fine. They seem well made. I have no use for the one's I bought, so if you're interested, PM me and I'll let you have them for a nice reduction from Motorsports price.

I am using the Bora 3/4" on my 3rd gen. The fronts worked great, however I had to grind the rear studs down about 1/8". (So now the rear studs are the same length as the fronts, so there's nothing dangerous about it.)

Sounds good. I guess I will measure the studs and also see if my wheels have the indentation like the limited wheels. I'll let you know. Hopefully the spacers will fit and you still have them available.

Check your rear lugs as I believe they are longer as [MENTION=9596]paddlenbike[/MENTION] posted in the comment before. The pockets in the wheels need to be at least the difference between that lug length less the .75" for the spacer.

Do not use over the lug spacers with hub centric wheels.

1" Spacers should fit

Measured the studs while rotating my tires and they are defintely shorter than 1". They are about 7/8, so 1" spacers should be fine.
