Re: One inch wheel spacer for rear ?
been running 3" spacer each side on my k30 cab&chassie rear to make it reg width single rear . been doing fine for about 10 years now no problems . few sets of tires and rims over the years .
i always put a dab of blue locktight on the threads and go 10ftlb over spec . so if a lug nut is going to come loose it will be the wheel one . not the spacer one .
got mine off ebay . nothing special brand wise .
the ones on the sides of the road are prob just people who dont re-check lug nut tourqe after install . and this is real important with fresh new lugs and rims/spacers as they need to seat in .
another good rule i was told years ago was bare min 5 -6 full turns of a lug nut on the stud or you need longer studs or fix the problem so you dont need spacers .
