Bora Wheel Spacers for Toyota Tacoma | Precision Fit & Hub-Centric Design
Our Bora wheel spacers for Tacoma are CNC-machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum and engineered for the 6×5.5" bolt pattern found on 2005-2024 models. Each spacer includes integrated hub-centric rings machined to Toyota's 106mm bore, eliminating the need for separate adapters and ensuring zero vibration at highway speeds.
We designed these spacers to solve three common Tacoma problems: clearing larger aftermarket wheels, accommodating aggressive tire treads without rubbing during suspension flex, and widening the stance for improved cornering stability on trails and highways. Whether you're running a leveling kit with 33-inch tires or simply want a more aggressive wheel position, these spacers install directly onto factory studs using our included hardened steel lug nuts torqued to 83 ft-lbs.
Each pair ships with lifetime structural warranty coverage and detailed torque specifications matching Toyota OEM standards.

Why Hub-Centric Matters for Your Tacoma
The factory wheel hub on every Tacoma since 2005 measures exactly 106mm in diameter. This hub protrusion is what centers your wheel and carries the vehicle’s weight — not the lug nuts. Our Bora wheel spacers replicate this critical dimension by machining a 106mm pilot bore into both the truck-side and wheel-side faces of every spacer.
When you bolt a hub-centric spacer onto your Tacoma, the factory hub seats into the inner bore while your wheel seats onto the outer bore. This dual-pilot design maintains factory load distribution and eliminates the rotational imbalance that causes steering wheel shake at 55+ mph. Lug-centric spacers without machined bores force the lug nuts to center the wheel, which leads to micro-gaps and vibration under load.
Clearance Solutions for Larger Tires and Aftermarket Wheels
Tacoma owners upgrading to 285/75R16 or 33×12.50 tires often encounter rubbing at full steering lock or during suspension compression. Our 1.25-inch spacers push the wheel outboard by exactly that width, creating additional clearance between the inner tire sidewall and the upper control arm at full droop. This prevents contact during off-road articulation without requiring trimming or aftermarket upper control arms.
Negative Offset Wheels
Aftermarket wheels with aggressive negative offset (0mm to -12mm) can position the tire too far inboard on a stock suspension. Installing our spacers compensates for that offset, moving the tire centerline outboard to match the fender line. The result is a flush appearance and improved scrub radius for more predictable steering response during emergency lane changes or trail obstacles.
Installation Steps and Torque Specifications
Each Bora spacer installs in under 15 minutes per wheel using basic hand tools. Start by lifting the truck and removing the factory wheel. Clean the hub face with a wire brush to remove brake dust and corrosion — any debris between the hub and spacer will compromise the hub-centric fit.
Slide the spacer onto the factory studs with the chamfered edge facing the hub. Thread on the included lug nuts and torque them to 83 ft-lbs in a star pattern using a calibrated torque wrench. Reinstall your wheel onto the spacer’s outer face and torque those lug nuts to the same 83 ft-lbs specification.

Common Questions About Tacoma Wheel Spacers
Our Bora wheel spacers for Tacoma are compatible with 2005-2024 models equipped with the 6×5.5-inch (6×139.7mm) bolt pattern and 106mm hub bore. This includes all second-generation (2005-2015) and third-generation (2016-2024) Tacomas regardless of trim level — base SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and TRD Pro.
First-generation Tacomas (1995-2004) use a different bolt pattern and hub bore, so these spacers will not fit those models. Always verify your truck's bolt pattern and hub bore before ordering.
Yes, our spacers are fully compatible with leveling kits and suspension lifts. Many Tacoma owners install spacers specifically after adding a lift to prevent tire rubbing when upgrading to larger wheels and tires. The spacers push the tire outboard to clear components like the upper control arm and crash bar that become contact points when running taller tires with increased suspension height.
If you're running a 2-inch or taller lift with 33-inch or larger tires, we recommend our 1.5-inch spacers for optimal clearance. For stock-height trucks or mild leveling kits with 32-inch tires, the 1.25-inch option typically provides sufficient clearance.
Hub-centric spacers feature a machined pilot bore on both faces that matches your Tacoma's factory 106mm hub diameter. The inner bore seats onto the truck's hub protrusion while the outer bore centers your wheel, replicating the factory hub-to-wheel relationship.
This dual-pilot design ensures the spacer and wheel are perfectly centered on the hub's axis of rotation. Lug-centric spacers lack these machined bores, forcing the lug nuts to center the wheel. Since lug nut holes have slight manufacturing tolerances, lug-centric designs can allow micro-gaps that cause imbalance and vibration at highway speeds.
The ideal spacer thickness depends on your wheel offset and tire size. For stock Tacoma wheels with factory offset running 265/70R17 or 265/75R16 tires, 1.25-inch spacers provide a subtle stance improvement without tire clearance issues.
If you're running aftermarket wheels with 0mm to -12mm offset or upgrading to 285/75R16 or larger tires, 1.5-inch spacers offer better clearance from the upper control arm and frame components. The thicker spacer also creates a more aggressive stance that aligns the tire with the fender line.
Measure from your current tire sidewall to the nearest suspension component at full steering lock. If clearance is less than 1 inch, choose the 1.5-inch spacer to prevent rubbing during suspension compression.
Yes, re-torque all lug nuts to 83 ft-lbs after the first 50 miles of driving. This initial bedding period allows the spacer to fully seat against the hub face and the lug nuts to settle into their threads. Skipping this re-torque step can lead to lug nut loosening and potential wheel detachment.
After the initial re-torque, check lug nut torque every 3,000 miles or before any off-road trip. Keep a calibrated torque wrench in your vehicle for trail-side checks if you frequently drive aggressive terrain.
When properly installed and maintained, hub-centric wheel spacers are safe for both daily driving and off-road use. Our Bora spacers are CNC-machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum and tested to meet SAE J2530 safety standards for wheel spacers and adapters.
The critical safety factors are correct torque (83 ft-lbs), regular torque checks, and using hub-centric rather than lug-centric designs. Our spacers include integrated hub rings machined to Toyota's factory tolerances, ensuring the wheel loads are distributed through the hub seat rather than the lug studs.
We back every spacer with a lifetime structural warranty. If a spacer shows material defects, cracking, or failure during normal use, we replace it at no cost.
Installing wheel spacers does not automatically void your Toyota warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer must prove that an aftermarket part directly caused a failure before denying a warranty claim.
However, if a wheel bearing or suspension component fails and the dealer determines the spacer contributed to the failure, that specific repair may not be covered. To protect yourself, keep records of proper installation torque specs and regular maintenance checks. Most Tacoma owners run spacers without any warranty disputes, especially when the spacers are properly installed and maintained according to manufacturer specifications.
