wheel spacers

Post by michael69 »

Has anyone used 2'' wheel spacers on the rear of your truck to make rear look the same width as the front. And do they work ?

I found them on ebay. They have any bolt pattern you want. Just go to ebay and search wheel spacers. :thup:

Dont go with 2 inches. I know when you measure it comes out to 2 but I've tryed it and it looks really funny. I currently have 1.75 spacers an it looks proportional to the front. I have hauled heavy loads, and logged alot of highway miles with them with out any problems. I bought the one's from an ebay store claiming that they were made in America. Be sure to put blue locktight on the old studs.

Thanks Nick that is what I needed to know. I thought about going with wider off set rims but really wanted to stay with same width front and back. I will try 1.75 in. spacers. What width rims and tire size do you run? THANKS AGAIN NICK :thup: :thup: :thup:
