Wheel spacers....


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys, as its known that chevys with there independent front suspensions, the front tires sticks out a little bit farther than the rear tires. And once you throw a 6 inch lifted knuckle on it, the front tires stick out even farther. With the stock tires that i have on my truck right now, the tires stick out almost one inch in the front, but are receded once inch under the fender in the back. When i throw my aftermarket wheels back on this spring, the difference is almost unbearable to look at. So i want to grab some wheel spacers, but have heard so many horror stories and started doing some research. I started looking at what causes the wheels to fall off and unbalanced and noticed that people need to get hub centric wheel spacers, okay thats easy to find. But when im looking at the material that the wheels spacers are made out of, the $60 ones on ebay are made out of the same material that some of the expensive wheel spacers are made out of. Forged 6061 T6 Aerospace Aluminum, and they come with Grade 8 studs, some wheel spacers come with grade 10 studs, but i wanna know what some of your guys opinion on wheel spacers are, or if you could recommend a brand that doesn't break the bank but wont cause your wheel to fall off going 70 down the highway, thanks in advance.
