Wheel Spacer Question.... Search Didn't Answer my questions!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dying2Live · 10-05-2009, 03:47 PM

Hey guys, I can get some wheels from my brother that I've always loved. They are one of the stock wheels on the early - mid 90's chevrolet K series trucks. The wheel/center cap config is the one on the top right (smooth center cap)... I know the bolt pattern is the same, and the center hole is smaller on the newer wheels, but is there a spacer that I could get to be able to use these on my suburban. I would prefer one with the hubcentric ring to match the new style holes. I've searched, but keep finding arguments more than info. Albeit, the arguments are civilized.. lol Thanks for the help.

Oh, what side spacers would i need, front and back. Thanks Gentlemen!!

Hmmm, I'd like to know this answer myself.

ezaccessories.com

I just order a 1" spacers for the front from them..... got 1.5" spacers on the rear and I haven't had any issues whatsoever.

get the billet spacers, NOT the old school cast!!

I'll check them out TCB. Thank You

Try ezaccessory.com, not ezaccessories.com. The later takes you to a generic website. thanks

Has anyone seen the above wheels on a 67-71 'burb or truck?? preferably 2wd

Longhorn Man · 10-06-2009, 10:58 PM

i thought those ones bolted right on, seen quite a few trucks with them.

Dying2Live · 10-07-2009, 12:19 PM

I thought the offset was different along with the hole in the center of the wheel??? I thought they changed with width of the rear end when they changed the body style of the trucks in 88. I've got early to mid 80's 4x4 rallys on it right now, but the offset I believe is different on the 88 and above wheels, along with the size of the hole for the hubs to fit thru. Know what I mean??

oops, typed it up wrong. sorry 'bout that!

tcb-1 · 10-07-2009, 04:22 PM

yes, the offset is very positive on those rims.... which means that the wheel sits further in on the axle. to combat that issue with the newer model rims, a spacer is needed to push the rims out.

if your running spacers, the center hole issue on the rear will be taken care of. the front is another story.

guess I never asked, is your rig a 4x or 2x.

Dying2Live · 10-07-2009, 04:23 PM

No biggie man. I still found it!!

Dying2Live · 10-07-2009, 04:24 PM

it's a 2x4.

tcb-1 · 10-07-2009, 06:24 PM

thought I better ask because the 4x axle hub would be much larger than the 2x hub.
