I know a lot of people don't like them but the backspacing is a little off on the rear Coys I bought used for my Suburban. I am thinking 1'.

I have been very happy with the ones I purchased from user: tireshopsupplies on ebay, I have had 3 sets now from him with great results. I have been less than thrilled with the quality of the spacers from Motorsport Tech, and very disappointed with the attitude of customer service from Ezaccessory. Fred Goeske at Wheeladapter.com is supposed to be the best you can get, but his price reflects it, so I haven't purchased from him yet.

i think it looks pretty darn good as it is. I am personally not a fan of wheel spacers from a safety perspective, but I know many use them with no problems at all. Others can chime in, this is usually a one side of the fence or the other type of discussion. Beautiful burb btw.

It is rubbing on the rear inside at certain angles pulling in and out of driveways etc.and that is the reason for the spacer.

For your wheels, lug centric is fine, you could measure to get the correct hub centric, but it is not necessary. In cases like the spacers on my F250, that uses wheels with flat face washer lug nuts, no conical seat, a hub centric spacer is a necessity, as that is the only thing to center the wheel when mounting. |

There's nothing wrong with using spacers, just make sure you purchase ones made from 6061 aluminum. Do not use ones that stack and shorten your studs. I ran 6061 aluminum wheels spacers on my Jeep for years, lots of torque and way more abuse than a street truck will ever get, never had a problem.
Just google search for 6061 wheel spacers and you'll find what you need. |

Spidertrax makes some of the best I've seen. They makes them mostly for Toyotas and Suzuki Samarai's for the off-road world so they take a beating. I'm not sure what applications they have them for.

I have 1" billet spacers on my 2wd S10. I've loaded it FULL of split oak firewood on many occasions. Never had a problem. I probably wouldn't use them in heavy towing applications, other than that, they're a GO for me!

I have hauled over 10k multiple times behind both my 2001 2500HD with 2" spacers on the rear, and on my 78 K30 with 1.5" up front and 2.5" spacers in the rear. |

Thats so true I remember my 95 had those spacers on the front wheels and there is thousands of those trucks out there and nobody gives them a second thought.

Re: Any recommendations on wheel spacer?
I just ordered a pair from USWheeladapter and the minimum thickness for an adapter is 1.25" because of lug nut depth. You can go thinner with spacers, but then you run into lugs not being long enough to get a good seat with nuts. Then it's pulling axles and putting longer lugs in, but that's a lot of work. :waah:
