Here is an easy MOD for ya'll.

I just installed my wheel spacers and figured I would do it as a MOD. I decided to do these since I went from a 265/65/17 to a 255/75/17 and lost some width. These are 1.25" Spidertrax, now, I don't like the blue anondized so I painted them black with wheel paint (my personal choice).

Step 1-Pull your wheels (I did mine 1 at a time.)


Before the wheel spacers.

Step 2-Install the wheel spacers using the star pattern to tighten lug nuts. Now, I also used Loc-Tite to ensure they stay. Tighten them to factory specs (85 pounds).


If you are doing this alone as I did. You may find it handy to have a "brace" to help with tightening the front nuts. The back ones are no trouble if the emergency brake is set.

Step 3-Replace tires and tighten to factory specs (85 pounds) using the star pattern.


After Wheel spacers have been installed.


As you can see, my toe in needs adjusted! Going to be done tomorrow.

Step 4-Drive about 10 miles, then pull tires and recheck lug nuts on wheel spacers to ensure they are still properly seated. If not, repeat the previous steps until they are no longer coming loose. Mine did not have to be redone.

Enjoy your new aggressive look.

 

looks good... how much do the spacers cost?

 

why did you go from a 265 to a 255?

 

Would this help clear any 16s rims

 

Whats the link where you got bought them or name anything
info of the product

 

Not sure, just pushes tires farther out! Makes it look more aggressive IMO

 

Spidertrax.com or jsut google it. Spidertrax.com was sold out so i went through polyperformance.com. they are up north of LA a little ways.

 

I got mine on Ebay. All (4) for $175 shipped. Still in the sealed bubblewrap. I went from a 265 to a 255 because I got a great deal on some BFG's in that size. That's the only reason.

 

Thanks for sharing. Im going to be paintin mine black to.

 

That's a good idea. I want those tires you have.

 

They are BFG Mud Terrain T/A 255/75/17. I got'em for $400 delivered to my door!!

 

I traded (2) Definity A/T's for the spare, locally. So no shipping. Whoo hoo. These suckers throw a lot of rocks though, only bad thing about'em so far. How long have you had yours? How are they wearing?

 

Great. Thanks

 

excellent write up, i wondered what that looked like thanks
