Help With Wheel Spacers

[chevysilverado09]

I ve got a set of American Racing Wheels Atx Chamber. My question is what size spacers will i need so that my wheels dont hit the rotors??

I really wouldn't recommend spacers, they put stress on parts that are not built to be stressed.

especially if you plan on doing any kind of off highway driving. just my opinion though, im sure there are people whove used them with no problems, but why risk it?

What makes you think you need spacers?

 

What year and model is your truck?

 

Whats the diameter, width and backspace of the wheels you bought?

 

For future reference, pretend that we're not mind readers

How much lift you going to run?

 

You realize these are going to stick out like 4-5" beyond your fenders just to clear the brakes right?

 

Wheel spacers large enough to make those fit aren't acceptable for highway vehicles... they're generally meant for off road only (or show).

Good thing i got them cheap. DO you have any suggestions for smaller wheels i dont want anything bigger than 16"

[Matt_]

For a stockish truck... you're SOL with anything smaller than 17s.

 

Honestly, your best bet is to get a 17" wheel with the proper backspace and call it a day.

 

What'll look worse? 16" wheels sticking 3" out of the fenders with tiny tires and you're going to have to trim like crazy due to the backspace + spacers OR 17" wheels with normal sized tires that sit under the vehicle properly?
