Bora vs Spidertrax wheel spacers?????

Title says it all.
Bora vs Spidertrax wheel spacers. Why and what size?

 

They're nearly the same. Make a choice on how far you want the wheels to stick out and if your configuration can accommodate it. Also be aware that a lot of tire shops wont touch your vehicle if they're on it.

 

As long as it's composed of 6061t6 aluminum then there's no difference. Usually come in 1.25' or 1.5'

 

they are not nearly the same. the Bora spacers are only wheel centric which means the wheels studs are the only thing that center the wheel. The Spidertrax are wheel AND hub centric so not only are the lugs centering the wheel, but also the hub. Much less chance of getting vibrations etc because a wheel isn't centered.

Spidertrax are just better.

Edit: Bora must have changed their design and added the hub centric ring. They weren't always that way. Looks like they are more similar now. I still like Spidertrax, but doesn't look like much difference.

 

Buy wider wheels.......the stock 7" wheel isn't gonna allow you much for tire upgrades

 

planning on it, my tires aren't stock right now, but i want to get wider ones also

 

BORA makes spacers from .75" to 2.0" where as Spidertrax only makes 1.25". Both are hub and wheel centric so the only difference is color, blue or black.

 

also remember that the hub centric dont work on trucks with locking hubs

also note, your stock wheels are not hub centric either, so adding them to the wheel spacer really has no effect.

 

BORA is what i got for my truck. I like how they make them to order and you can get pretty much any size you need. Great customer service too.
Pretty sure the BORA's are lug & hub centric..

The 1.25" spidertrax's will work with any tacoma 01 - current.. (hub centric)
The 1.5" spidertrax's will work with any tacoma pre 00.. (lug centric)

 

people love to throw out how hub centric wheel spacers are so much better than lug centric. I have a 99 taco with manual locking hubs and had to get the LUG centric spidertrax spacers. I've put about 10k on them and not the slightest wheel vibration. Take a look at my truck in some of my threads. its seen some shit.

as long as you get a spacer from a company like BORA or SPIDERTRAXX that utilizes a quality manufacturing process you're good to go. Unless you're launching your truck, or you have shitty de-laminating tires, the lug-centric spacers should be fine

 

Spider...1.25"

 

Been thinking about the Spider but I need a visual anyone have them on in both sizes 1.25 and 1.5" so I can see it visually it's for my 2009 Tacoma. I want to keep my stock Rims 16" but going to put on some BF Goodrich KO2 LT275/70R16 T/A KO2 get me some picture guys I'm a visual learner. Ha ha ah check out my Tacoma. Merry Christmas.

 

BORA manufacturers to order. They also come in any width of your liking. I use 2" spacers on both sides for my front wheels. If you check out my sig pic, that picture was taken with the truck rocking those in the front. They are ridiculously strong. I have put them through their paces and they just hold no problem at all.

 

Can you post some pictures went to your profile but cousins see any photos.

 

I have 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers and the two big tire shop chains that I go to torque them to spec every time. Just make sure to get the hub centric ones. That's what I was told at least so I did and haven't had a problem.

 

sick truck

 

Hey did you ever end up getting them? I have similar PEM wheels and would love to see a pic of how far they stick out...

 

What's up 2014 me

 

Does anyone have a quick pic of their rig with Spider spacers...

 

They're all the same. What size are you looking for and what kind of pic? On the hub, tire mounted?
