Wheel spacers ? Good or bad ?

Will Wheeler spacers hurt my truck ? And post some pics of them on yals truck , and who makes the best ones!

 

I have the spidertrax wheel spacers and have no complaints with them. They have been on for about 30k miles and work well. As far as long term issues I will have to wait and see.

 

Thanks man . How much they go for a set ? Sorry for bothering u I'd google them my self but I'm kinda in a hurry

 

I have the spidertrax as well with no issues. Have about 8k miles on them

 

~ $200 for a full set (all 4)

That sounds really affordable .

 

Worst thing that happens with a good set of spacers like spidertrax, is that the added stress on your hub will cause the wheel bearings to go out just a little bit sooner.

 

Yeah , hey my truck looks like your black one

 

This ^, some have had to change wheel bearings as soon as 20-30k miles though. Also, those Bora wheel spacers are very nice.

 

I have the Boras on mine...no problems..

 

i bought lug centric off ebay 1.25" for my 2nd gen about 3 months ago no shaking nothing just have to install right and you will be fine made my truck look 10x's better

also have the same spacers on my 58 chevy truck but 1" no problems

 

First off, I have used and still using wheel spacers on 2 applications; a Yamaha Rhino and a 4-wheeler.

If it were a perfect world; we would not have to use wheel spacers. But sometimes, you just have to make something work on something else, that it wasn't designed for.

Wheel spacers, are like anything else. You have to install them correctly and keep an eye on them.

The problems come in, when they are installed; maybe not on the proper application or not installed correctly.

Always torque the mounting nut/bolts to specification. And keep an eye on them frequently, for working loose.

The problems I have seen in our shop; is where the driver maybe heard a noise or felt a vibration; but never looked to see if the wheels were tight. Thus causing all sorts of problems.

Did you ever notice, during most any race Nascar, Off-Road, Whatever; drivers are always concerned about loose wheels. Really concerned.

Just my 2 cents:
