wheele spacer (stock rims)

[the007forum]

I think .5 wouldn't really be enough to be noticeable. When you look at a ruler even1.5" seems like a small amount to me, but thats what i bought. I got mine from wheeladapter.com I love how much more they beef out the truck.

The point of fenders is to contain the tire and the stuff they spray. You would never think about trying to get the tires to stick out of the fenders on your dirt bike. The wheel wells are also deeper than the lip of the fender. Might catch the tire on the outer rim of the fender, thus messing them up or reducing your travel. If you look at the inside of my wheel wells there are rubbing marks from the tires after hitting big bumps. That is why the Titan swap guys put on bigger fenders.

This is a truck not a street fighter. What is the point of making it look MEAN!! Form follows function.

Not to be hating, just pointing out some points that might have been over looked.

Are you saying that 1-1/2" wheel adapters on a stock wheel can make the tire hit the fender? Do you think it also affects turning radius?

might rub if you carry a ton of potatoes in the bed . i'll take off my spacers when i deliver my next load. but who cares about function if you want to look "mean" and be a street fighter

I have 1" spacers all around, and a calmini shackle + spacer lift. I purchaced the spacers from here

They are lug centric and I used the factory lugs to bolt the spacer to the hub, and withgout any modification used the new lugs to mount the wheel.
There is a little rubbing at full lock, but nothing that would warrant any concern.
I hope this helps.

Hi ,

If I were you I wouldn´t buy spacers, buy adapters (with lugnuts)... A bit more expensivebut much more secure... I posted a pic for you to see how it looks, sorry about the quality.

Do you have the stock tires on still or did you up-size? Also, where do you get rubbing? inside fender, outside fender, lower air dam, mud guards?

where'd you get them and what size adapters are they??

Just make sure that whatever spacer/adapter you go with, it is thicker than the OEM stud sticks out. I bought some 1.25's for a past vehicle but the OEM studs stuck out 1.5" so the wheels would never got totally tight and they would start to loosen putting pressure on the adapter studs. I ended up breaking 4-5 studs(total out of 4 adapters) on the adapters. It took me a while to realize that the OEM studs were too long. Just some past info/experience I figured I'd share.

That's because you had spacers. Adapters attach to the stock lugs, and have a whole new set of lug nuts to screw the wheel to. I'm definitely going with adapters.
