Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anyone run this type of wheel spacer (1/2 IN) where you dont have rely on 12 lug nuts and 12 studs?

 

I really want to keep my midnight edition wheels but i also want some offset but i dont want to get sketchy with a 1.5 wheel spacer.

I ran the 1.5" with stock 20" wheels for a while. No issues at all.

 

I wouldn't recommend a 1/2 spacer like that unless you get longer studs.

Are you doing it so your stock rims aren't tucked under the fenders. I was looking at the same thing. I have stock generic 18s and until i get new rims I just want them pushed out a bit. In don't think the 1.5 inch would be a problem

Here is my truck when I had the 1.5" spacers/adaptors on.

 

Spacers Installed.

Running a 1.5" spacer pretty much moves you from stock position of +27 to -12. (somewhere in that range).

 

Contact Lenny at Motorsport Tech to have a set made for you, Bora Spacers. They are great quality.

Ryan, your dog moves crazy fast!

 

Those spacers make all the difference in the world. I'm typically a fan of factory wheels, and that stance makes it all work together flawlessly!

He's now 14.5yrs old, and barely moves :P. More likely that I was falling over for the pic!

 

I really liked the look the spacers did for the truck. I am not a fan of tucked tires on a truck. I like a little poke.

 

I sold that setup though, as I wanted to go back to a fluffy tire. So when I went to 17" wheels, I got an offset that would poke a little, without using a spacer. I went with +0 offset.

Get longer studs if you don't wanna get the spacers with the new studs. Make sure they are hubcentric spacers too! There's a possibility that you end up with a vibration from them

I know RC makes a .25 inch set like that, that some guys on here have run with no issues

Would the stock rims and tire look stupid with a spacer?

Not at all. My tires in those pics are 275 wide. Stock tires are 265 wide. So really not much of a difference.

In the pics you postrd... Are those 1.5 spacers? My only concern is your tires have that nice squared off edge. The factory gy have that rounded look. Curious if that makes them less appealing. Did you notice any cons by putting a 1.5 spacer on ....vibrations?... I had read a spacer messes with the wheel bearings but would assume aftermarket rims with a diff offset would be the same as a spacer in regards to increased bearing wear
