    Looking at installing Bora 1.5 inch spacers on my 2016 Tundra. Have the oem fender flares so wanted to go a bit wider than 1.25. I plan to continue to run the stock wheels - have a 1794 with chrome oem wheels and actually really like the look. Only issue is with the fender flares it looks a bit silly as the wheels are a few inches inset. That said, I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues with rubbing, drivability or an other suggestions/thoughts?

    Appreciate any feedback.

    Thanks

    Also, as far as tire size. I'll be at 275/55/20 or 275/60/20. Thanks

    I had some for a very short time on stock 18” wheels, stock size tire. They looked really good how they just poked out of wheel wells. But…. The amount of road crap all over the sides of truck was horrible. It rains a lot in VA. With fender flares might be better.

    1.5 inch further out could cause you rubbing issues, especially if you run larger than stock tires. My guess is it would require pushing bumper out with spacers kit or washers and then removal of the mud flaps in front. Rear of truck will be no issue.

    Thanks for the feedback. Good point, definitely want to avoid slinging crap up the side of the truck, wondering if anyone has experience running the 1.5's with flares and if they prevent it? As far as the rubbing, definitely want to avoid that and having to make mods. Am I correct that the 1.25 inch version (vs. 1.5) would not interfere / cause rubbing? That's my impression from reading threads. Thanks
