I know this has been beat to death, but can't seem to find anyone who is certain in regards to my scenario. The plan is to put 1/4" BORA spacers on the front of my 25" ST with the stock wheels and studs. Can anyone confirm this will or won't work? Thanks

Yes it will work but why? 1/4” isn’t gonna make an appreciable difference.

Thank you, I appreciate the response. My plan when the time comes is to swap over to a set of 295/40-21's on the factory rims. And that puts me just about where I wanna be up front.

That still won’t be flush if that’s what you’re after.

Correct. I am looking for a total of about 5/8 on the front when all is done and said.

U need 15mm/20mm minimum. Anything smaller won't be strong enough for that truck !

Personally , I'd go 20mm in your scenario , and lowering springs of 1.5". But I'm certifiably insane , I think

If your buying spacers might as well get the wheels flush with the fenders.
