Wheel Spacers

Just know that 1.25 and 1.5 aren’t flush…they actually stick out past the fenders about 1/4”.
Flush is 1” all the way around with the rear camber set at -.5° but nobody wants to do that work so they’ve invented this fallacy about the others being flush. Ask for close up pics…you’ll see.

I previously posted top-down pics with 1.25" spacers all around with 295/40s on the stock 21" rims. They do indeed stick out, so much that I will likely remove the spacers. This isn't much of a problem in fair weather, but when it rains there is a big difference in the road film build-up.

If you are running stock wheels, i really think you should have gone with 1.25" spacer. Regardless, No locktite is needed. Just re-torque the nuts holding the spacer on after a few hundred miles just like you would with new alloy wheels. I recently removed 1.5" spacers from the rear and they were difficult to remove.
. Not a good look imo or performance but plenty of them around here. For added bonus you could run them with massive camber!
If one was to use Bora one inch spacers on all four corners do you know if the recess in the back of the OEM 21 inch wheels would clear the stud protrusion of the stock Explorer ST wheel studs? Considering going with shorter wheel studs, i.e. "A" series studs. Since wheel studs are a friction fit is there a limit how many times the studs can be changed out before the supporting base material gets damaged?
