Wheel spacers

[BurghRanger86]

I just had the 3 inch Torch Off Road leveling kit installed on my 2019 Ranger. I haven’t decided on any tires yet. I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations? Also, I noticed a lot of folks using wheel spacers. Should they be used just in the front or front and rear too?

If you don’t use them front and back. The tires will sit out farther on the front. It’s up to you If that look will drive you crazy or not. I’m all about symmetrie.

That makes sense. What size/brand tire and spacers are using running?

You don't need wheel spacers for up to a 265/70R17 tire size. There are some 275/70R17 tires that will work as well. Anything larger will require them. A 1" spacer will keep the tires fairly flush to the fenders and a 1.5" spacer will cause them to stick out a little.

Thanks! Is there brand of spacers you would recommend and do you know if the factory lugs will work with 1” - 1.5” spacers?

The Faction Fab spacers seem to be the "go to" for most people here. They are hub centric and come with the hardware to bolt up. You still use your factory lug nuts on the wheels. Stage3 has them here.

Thanks for the info. I think I am going to go with the BFG K02 AT 275/70/17 And 1.5” spacers. I’ll update with a pic when it’s complete.

I run stock tires, and after my leveling kit, I was looking for a wider stance. I went with 1.25" Bora from Stage 3. Hub centric as well. The handling is better as well.

Do you have any pics of it you could share?

I went with a 1 inch spacer. Bora is the brand. I wish I would have went with a 1.5 to be honest. My tires are Goodyear wranglers. 275/70r18. The 33 inch tall tires give the truck some attitude without being noisy. These ride like stock.

That looks good. Thanks for sharing.

My original thought was 1.5" Bora's, but glad I went conservative with 1.25" The tread still stays behind the mudflaps, limiting the amount of spray down the side. I guess you could easily find a mudflap to cover the tread though. I liked the look of the ford molded flaps.

1.5 spacers on 265/70/17. Removed plastic from crash bar, adjusted crash bars. 2.5 level.

Not to hijack the thread, but looks like my build is going to look about the same. 2.5” BDS level and have been debating some FactionFab spacers, been back and forth between 1” or 1.5”. Been debating between tires too, Terra Grappler G2’s or Toyo OC AT3’s the same size as yours...
