Is anyone running .75 inch or bigger wheel spacers on stock trail edition wheels?

    I'm confused. Center of mas of the tire is a at the center of the circle(tire). How is it at the same distance from the bearing? It is not related.
    The spacer moves the bearing load axes away from the center of the bearing, likely between the hub and spacer joint.

    No. I’ve been a professional mechanic for over 25 years. You, sir, are the one that does not get it. There is no bearing load difference between the center mass of the tire of a wheel on a spacer or a wheel with the equivalent negative offset. Either way the center mass of the goddamn tire is the same distance laterally from the bearing. Period.

    There’s no mystery here.. this is not rocket science.

    It's simple physics. I'm guessing they didn't teach that in the army. How do you not realize that you a pushing out the bolt face of the wheel with your spacer? Are you really that dense? With a proper fitting wheel, the bolt face is tight against the hub. You put a spacer on and that is now the bolt face is that distance away from the hub. The thicker the spacer, the more leverage you are putting on your bearings. Do you understand a how a fulcrum works? Maybe its time for you to go back to school.

    I think you are confusing center of mass for leverage.

    Center of mass is the same for the wheel/tire no matter where it is mounted. However moving the wheel/tire outward will increase the bending force (leverage).

    I think maybe you guys just aren’t communicating.

    Jesus Fucking Christ… you keep running your fuckin yap about the army.. little cocksucker.

    There’s no further explanation possible here, you go ahead and live in your world child.

    I just wanted to see pictures of trucks with poking out tires, but I am treated to a fight instead...

    That was chill, considering. Tired of people's bullshit. Bitch wants to pull my service in and get personal, it's lucky for us both that he's not in the same state. Done.

    I'm out ✌️

    OP put the money towards new wheels. The 1.25 will make you rub and you will need to do some trimming. A .75 spacer won't make that much of a difference. Went down this road with my 4R SEMA wheels which are +4 as well, I decided against the spacers.

    Did I touch a nerve? I had friend that wanted nothing more than to join the Navy, but his asvab scores were terrible so he joined the army. I just figured that since you don't understand simple physics that there might be a connection.
