Hi Everyone, I’m looking to order the 1.25” Bora Spacers for my 21’ ST with the OEM 21’ wheels and tires. Has anyone went this route to prevent from having to cut the front studs? Or do I need to go with the 1” fronts and 1.25” rears? Any experiences would be greatly appreciated.

1.25" all around is a good choice. Plenty have done so. A little bit of wheel poke in front, but that's OK. If you want the rears to then match the front, you could do 1.25" front, 1.5" rear. This is what I have and is also what plenty of people have done. They stick out a little with OEM 21" rims but not bad. Handling improvement is noticeable.

Just to confirm, if you put 1.25" Bora wheel spacers on the rear you dont have to cut anything correct?
What if you do 1.5" on the rear? Does this require and shaving?
Tks.

Do you get any wheel rub with this setup?
I want to purchase them but just want to be sure first.
I'm thinking to do stock front and 1.5" rear spacers.
Anyone do this setup yet?
These are $63.25 per spacer online
Anyone find them cheaper?

No rub. I'm on Steeda springs. The Bora's aren't cheap. You can certainly find a bunch of Ford-spec generic spacers from China for much cheaper, but I didn't want to risk it!
