Wheel Spacers? Pros and Cons

Agreed. It gets back to using good equipment rather than cheap. I wouldn't feel comfortable with anything under a Grade 8 bolt in a spacer application. Spidertrax uses 10.9+ grade.

 

I am also new, I have 1inch spacers on mine with no problems, also added a 3.5 inch lift

 

I ran .75 hub-centric spacers for over 5 years. Other than removing them for brake work I never checked them once. Why would they loosen up? If they're getting loose then your regular wheel was going to come loose anyway.

I don't get all this worry about loctite. They're essentially the same design as an oem alloy wheel. How often do alloy wheels just loosen up and come off for no reason?

 

Dude, that looks great. I didn't want to go full inch and a half, but the 1 looks good

 

Sides of my truck constantly get sprayed with dirt/rocks and that’s with +4mm, and mudflaps.

I can’t even imagine 25-35 haha

 

Is it me or does the front look a bit higher than the rear?

 

Nice truck!!

I kinda like this. What type of suspension setup are running?

 

I have since sold this truck. It was a 6 inch pro comp DB, with longer full length Bilstein 5100's in the front (no spacers) and OME coils.

for the rear: AAL and 2 inch block + extended length Bilstein 5100's.

 

Awesome truck! How long have you been running these? Have you experienced any exaggerated wear and tear to wheel bearings or ball joints?

 

I had the truck for about ~40k miles and never had any issues with bearings or ball joints. I have since sold the truck.

 

I’m usually against wheel spacers in general, but if you don’t have the money to shell out on a new set of wheels, definitely go hubcentric

 

what brand spacer do you have? and did you take a picture of the spacer mounted on the hub before you put the tire on? If you did can you post a pic on here?

thank you! I was interested to see how many of the stock lug threads poke out of the nuts provided with the kit....looks to be good.
