Materials & Construction Quality
We machine every Bora wheel spacer from certified 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the same aerospace-grade material used in aircraft structural components. This alloy offers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio while resisting the corrosion and thermal cycling that wheel components endure in daily driving.
Our CNC manufacturing process maintains tolerances within 0.001 inches, ensuring each spacer mates perfectly with your hub and wheel mounting surfaces. The hub-centric design eliminates the vibration and wobble common with cheaper lug-centric alternatives. We finish each spacer with a Type II anodized coating that penetrates the aluminum surface, creating a protective barrier against road salt, brake dust, and environmental contaminants.
Fitment & Compatibility
These 2 inch spacers are engineered specifically for trucks with an 8×6.5 bolt pattern and 14×1.5 wheel studs. Compatible applications include 2011-newer Chevy Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, and 2012-newer Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models with the 8-lug configuration.
Wheel Clearance Considerations
The 2 inch spacing pushes your wheels outward by 4 inches total (2 inches per side), which provides clearance for larger brake calipers and accommodates wider tires without rubbing on suspension components. Before installation, verify that your wheels have adequate depth to accommodate the spacer thickness plus stud protrusion. Most aftermarket wheels designed for lifted trucks will fit without issues.
Installation & Torque Specifications
Installation requires basic hand tools and a calibrated torque wrench. Each spacer mounts to your existing hub using the factory wheel studs, then your wheel bolts to the spacer’s pre-installed studs. We include detailed instructions with torque specifications for both mounting stages.
Proper Installation Sequence
Clean all mounting surfaces thoroughly before installation to remove brake dust, rust, or debris that could prevent full contact. Mount the spacer to the hub and torque the factory studs to manufacturer specifications (typically 140 lb-ft for most heavy-duty trucks, but verify in your owner’s manual). Install your wheel onto the spacer studs and torque to the same specification in a star pattern.

What people are saying
Common Questions About Bora 2 Inch 8×6.5 Wheel Spacers
Yes, our 2 inch spacers are engineered specifically for the 8×6.5 bolt pattern found on 2011-newer GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks. The 124.9mm center bore matches your factory hub diameter for perfect hub-centric fitment.
Before installation, verify that your factory wheels have sufficient barrel depth to accommodate the 2 inch spacer thickness plus the protruding wheel studs. Most factory wheels will fit, but aftermarket wheels with deep-dish designs offer more clearance. If you’re unsure about your specific wheel compatibility, our technical support team can help verify fitment before you order.
No, you don’t need longer lug nuts because our spacers come with pre-installed grade 10.9 hardened steel wheel studs. These studs are the correct length for your wheels to mount directly to the spacer surface.
You’ll use your existing lug nuts to secure your wheels to the spacer studs, just as you would when mounting wheels to your factory hubs. The spacer itself bolts to your truck’s hub using the factory studs. This complete hardware solution means you won’t need to purchase any additional components for installation.
Our 2 inch wheel spacers actually improve handling stability by widening your truck’s track width by 4 inches total. This increased footprint enhances lateral stability during cornering and reduces body roll when towing or carrying heavy loads.
The hub-centric design maintains factory ride quality because bearing loads remain evenly distributed across the hub surface. You won’t experience the vibration or wandering that occurs with poorly designed lug-centric spacers. Many customers report improved highway stability and more confident handling after installation, especially when towing trailers or navigating windy conditions.
Absolutely. We engineer our wheel spacers from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with grade 10.9 hardened steel studs that exceed OEM strength specifications. The material and design are more than capable of handling the stress from towing, payload capacity, and off-road use.
Commercial fleet operators and contractors use our spacers daily on work trucks that tow equipment trailers and carry maximum payload ratings. The lifetime structural warranty reflects our confidence in the durability and safety of these components. As with any wheel component, proper installation and periodic torque checks ensure safe operation throughout the service life of your vehicle.
Most DIY enthusiasts with basic hand tools can install these spacers in about 1-2 hours. You’ll need a floor jack, jack stands, a socket set, and a calibrated torque wrench to complete the installation properly.
We include detailed step-by-step instructions with every kit, covering torque specifications and proper installation sequence. The process involves mounting the spacer to your hub, then mounting your wheel to the spacer’s pre-installed studs. If you’re comfortable rotating your own tires, you have the skills needed for spacer installation.
That said, if you’re unsure about any aspect of the installation or don’t have access to a torque wrench, we recommend having a professional shop handle the installation to ensure everything is torqued to specification.
Hub-centric spacers like ours use a machined center bore that fits snugly over your truck’s hub, centering the spacer before you tighten any lug nuts. This design distributes the vehicle’s weight through the hub rather than through the wheel studs, exactly like your factory wheel mounting system.
Lug-centric spacers rely entirely on the wheel studs for centering, which can cause vibration and uneven bearing wear because the weight distribution isn’t perfectly centered. The hub-centric design we use eliminates these issues and provides the same smooth, vibration-free performance as your factory wheel mounting configuration. This is why professional installers and serious truck enthusiasts choose hub-centric spacers for safety and performance.
The 2 inch spacers add 2 inches of spacing per wheel, pushing your tires outward by a total of 4 inches (2 inches per side). Whether your tires extend beyond your fenders depends on your current wheel offset and tire width.
If your factory wheels and tires are currently flush with or inside your fender line, the 2 inch spacers will likely bring them flush or slightly past the fenders. Many truck owners prefer this aggressive stance, but be aware of local regulations regarding tire coverage. Some states require fenders to cover the full tire width.
