Wheel Spacers

City_Slicker · April 2, 2003

I have not thought this thru, so bear with if sounds stupid. Can you buy wheel spacers that will widen your stance with stock wheels? And what would some drawbacks be to doing so? Other than mud and rock slinging. I see the homies in the hood using them, do they not make them for trucks or is this a ricer only product. I got a feeling I am gonna get razzed on this just like the last time I brought up the word "LUND"

For starters, it will farkle up your suspension geometry.

(Oh, and yeah, it looks like crap.)

dam, I just sent an email to wheelspacers.com for a quote on like a 1 inch spacer. 65 bucks each. Not that I was gonna do it, I was just curious if it could be done. I am more into height than width!!

I recently saw a post on here saying that the rear wheels are about three inches closer together than the front. So i went to the web site and saw what it was all about...well it sells spacers for the rear wheels to bring them out even with the front...truck looks, tracks, and pulls better. It said if you dont believe they are narrower to get out the tape measure...so i did and my 2002 2500HD is 2.5 in narrower in the rear!!!

Wheel spacers will also place a LOT more strain on your lug studs. If you put too big a spacer on, you're also not going to get many threads of the nut started, either. Not good either way.

if you look at the web site...wich everyone should if you ask me....the spacers bolts onto your wheel with its own lugs ...then you bolt your wheel onto the spacer with your lugs so that your centercap fits....you will have plenty of threads....they look like theyre made really well and it just makes SENSE!!!

See thats what I am talking about. Somebody always has the answers on this site!!!!!

Unfortunately, I dont think they make those for 1500's. Besides they were $350. Thanks though! :thumb:

City Slicker... They don't make them for 1500s because the 1500s tracks are the same front and rear. On the 2500s, the rear is 3" narrower. The CT spacers are only meant to even the rear with the front.

The CT spacers are held on using the existing lugs and provide new lugs to hold on the wheel. They are well designed and much more expensive than $60.00. However, you get what you pay for.
