Edit 2: I found Bora .75" spacers. I'll be going with them.


Edit: So as far as I can tell 3/4 doesn't exist "safely". So I'm looking at 1in and 1/2 in. I found plenty of 1in spacers but only a handful of 1/2s and none of the halfs seem hubcentric. Is hubcentric important on shim style spacers? and will 1/2in leave me enough stud?


Ok, so im finalizing the first stage of my overland mojave build. I got MT Baja Boss's 37x12.5r17, a 2in AEV spacer lift kit, IM4x4 2in 600lb extra load rear spring to sub in for my extra weight. What I'd like to know so i can throw all this on, is there a 15-20mm spacer to make oem wheels go from +44 to +25 to flush up my 37s? I run my stock 33s as dailys, and i got a set of rubi wheels of FB marketplace for like 500 buck. I'd like to run them with the 37s just for my bi-monthly overlanding trips. I would also like to know if i end up with hub centric shims, do i need longer studs and how hard is that to do? Also if there's a reccomendation to a better offset im absoletly open to it, i just picked +25 cus after all the math i did It allows clearance where needed but still keeps me as close to the stock scrub radius as possible. I dont wanna stress the factory ball joints more than i have too cus wifey says i can't buy a king pin swap yet. something about all the other mods showing up on the porch got me in trouble, despite me claiming i had no idea where they came from. :)

*And for those who who are confused as to why the rear spring change. It doesn't ruin the factory tuned fox shocks, I specifically chose these as they are very close to the original spring rate however, i did have to give up dual rate for single rate. Its a compromise.

I think the narrowest spacer you are going to find is going to be 1” or ~25mm to clear the factory studs/nuts… the 1/2” spacers you are going to find are utilizing the factory studs which is reducing your lug nut bite by 1/2”. Not sure I would ride easy knowing that…. 1” I would feel fine with larger tires, narrower ?….. <— but maybe this is just me ??‍♂
I see that you’re tracking hub centric ???

My buddy gave me tires as a gift and they are the thinnest i can get em, Should i just do 1in spacers? I got the high clearance fenders rubi/mojave come with. I just dont wanna smack the fenders at articulation.

On the stock wheels they will work,but after market wheels you need to go wider spacers so the studs clear.
