Bora 2-Inch Wheel Spacers for Ford F-250 Super Duty
Our precision-engineered 2-inch wheel spacers are designed specifically for Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks with 8x170mm bolt patterns. We manufacture these spacers from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a strength rating that exceeds OEM specifications, ensuring your truck maintains factory safety standards while achieving the aggressive stance and increased track width you’re looking for.
Each spacer kit includes Grade 10.9 hardened steel studs that are torque-tested to withstand the demands of heavy-duty truck applications. The hub-centric design eliminates vibration by maintaining perfect wheel alignment, while our corrosion-resistant finish protects against road salt, mud, and the elements. Whether you’re running larger tires, clearing aftermarket suspension components, or simply want improved stability and handling, these wheel spacers deliver the fitment precision that serious F-250 owners demand.

- Hub-centric design (125mm bore) eliminates wheel vibration
Engineering & Construction Details
We machine every Bora wheel spacer from solid 6061-T6 aluminum billet stock using CNC precision manufacturing. This aerospace-grade material provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio that far exceeds cast aluminum alternatives while resisting the thermal expansion issues common with lesser materials.
Our manufacturing process includes multi-axis CNC machining to achieve tolerances within 0.001 inches, ensuring perfect fitment with your F-250’s factory hub assembly. Each spacer undergoes stress testing that simulates 50,000 miles of extreme driving conditions before it leaves our facility. The Grade 10 hardened steel studs are cold-forged for maximum thread integrity and press-fitted into precision-drilled holes, then secured with industrial-grade thread locker. We apply a military-spec anodizing process that creates a molecular bond with the aluminum surface, providing protection against corrosion that outlasts powder coating or painted finishes by years.
Fitment & Compatibility
These wheel spacers are engineered exclusively for Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks from 2005 to current model years equipped with the 8-lug (8x170mm) bolt pattern. The 125mm hub-centric bore matches factory specifications perfectly, maintaining the precise wheel alignment that prevents vibration at highway speeds.
Before installation, verify that your aftermarket wheels have sufficient clearance for the extended studs—our 2-inch spacers require wheels with a minimum depth of 2.25 inches from the mounting surface to the back of the wheel barrel. If you’re running lifted suspension setups, these spacers work seamlessly with leveling kits and lift kits up to 6 inches. For trucks with factory 20-inch wheels, the additional track width pairs perfectly with 35-inch tires without requiring fender modifications.
Installation Requirements
Each Bora wheel spacer kit includes everything needed for installation on one axle (two spacers): pre-installed Grade 10 studs, open-ended lug nuts designed for extended stud applications, and detailed torque specifications. You’ll need a quality torque wrench, impact-rated sockets, and basic hand tools.
The installation process takes approximately 45-60 minutes per axle for someone with moderate mechanical experience. We provide step-by-step photo instructions with every order, but the basic process involves removing your existing wheels, mounting the spacer onto factory studs using a star-pattern torque sequence, then reinstalling wheels onto the new extended studs. Unlike slip-on spacers that rely solely on lug nut clamping force, our stud-mounted design distributes load across the entire hub assembly for maximum safety.

Common Questions About Bora F-250 Wheel Spacers
No, properly installed Bora wheel spacers do not reduce your F-250’s factory towing or payload ratings. Our spacers are engineered with 6061-T6 aluminum and Grade 10.9 studs that exceed OEM structural requirements. We’ve conducted extensive testing with trucks operating at maximum GVWR including fifth-wheel applications up to 20,000 lbs with zero structural issues.
The key is following proper torque specifications during installation and performing regular maintenance checks. The wider track width actually improves towing stability by lowering the effective center of gravity and increasing resistance to crosswind push.
Yes, these Bora wheel spacers are specifically designed for Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks from 2005 through current models equipped with the 8x170mm bolt pattern. The 125mm hub-centric bore matches factory specifications exactly, ensuring perfect fitment with both OEM and most aftermarket wheels.
For factory 20-inch wheels, verify that your wheels have at least 2.25 inches of depth from the mounting surface to the back of the barrel to accommodate the extended studs. If you’re running aftermarket wheels, check the manufacturer’s specifications or measure directly.
Grade 10.9 hardened steel studs actually exceed Ford’s factory stud specifications in tensile strength and shear resistance. The “10” designation indicates a minimum tensile strength of 1,040 MPa (approximately 150,000 PSI), while the “.9” means the yield strength is 90% of tensile strength.
We cold-forge these studs for superior thread integrity and press-fit them into precision-drilled holes with industrial thread locker. This creates a permanent mechanical bond stronger than the factory pressed-in stud design. Each stud is torque-tested before shipping to verify proper installation.
Yes, your factory lug nuts may not work properly with the extended studs. Each Bora wheel spacer kit includes open-ended lug nuts specifically designed for use with extended stud applications. These lug nuts allow the stud to pass through completely while maintaining full thread engagement.
The included lug nuts are torque-rated for your F-250’s specifications and feature the correct taper angle for most aftermarket wheels. If you prefer chrome or black lug nuts for aesthetic reasons, we offer <a href=”/bora-lug-nuts-ford-super-duty/”>premium replacement lug nut kits</a> in multiple finishes.
Most F-250 owners with moderate mechanical experience can install these wheel spacers in 45-60 minutes per axle using basic tools and a quality torque wrench. We provide detailed photo instructions with torque specifications for every step of the installation process.
The critical requirements are following the proper star-pattern torque sequence and using accurate torque values—165 lb-ft for spacer-to-hub mounting, then your wheel manufacturer’s specifications for the final lug nuts. If you’re uncomfortable with these procedures or lack a calibrated torque wrench, professional installation typically costs $100-150 at shops experienced with truck modifications.
Properly installed Bora hub-centric wheel spacers will not cause vibration. Our precision-machined 125mm center bore maintains perfect wheel alignment by centering on the factory hub exactly as your wheels normally would. This eliminates the vibration issues common with cheap bolt-on spacers that rely only on lug nut clamping force.
In terms of handling, the wider track width actually improves stability by lowering the effective center of gravity and increasing resistance to body roll. Most drivers report noticeably better handling during cornering and improved stability when towing. The minor increase in scrub radius has negligible impact on steering effort in normal driving conditions.
We recommend re-checking torque specifications after the first 50-100 miles of driving, as initial settling can occur. After that, verify torque every 5,000-10,000 miles during your first year of use, then incorporate spacer inspection into your regular tire rotation schedule.
For trucks used in severe conditions—frequent off-roading, heavy towing, or extreme temperature fluctuations—consider more frequent inspections. The installation instructions include a torque verification checklist you can follow during routine maintenance.
