Spacers

[2008lmmchopper]

What size spacers do I need to make my rear tires match the width of my front? 2 in? Finished my.performance mechanical stuff for now so I'm back on some appearance things. I want some mediumish fender flares but not the riveted looking ones but it wouldn't look good if my rear tires were inside the flares. The fronts would be flush with the flares and look clean just want the same for the rear. Even if you will. And should I dare say "stance" lol

1.5" spacers will get you even with the front.

^^^ this is correct

1.5 will be you even. But depending on whether or not your wheels have indentions between the lug holes on the rear of the wheel you may have to grind the tip of the lug off. But 2 inch you won't have to grind

Would 2 in be too much tho looking down the side of the truck?

I highly doubt you'll notice the extra .5 inch per side. I did 1.5 inch spacers but I lucked up because my wheels had divots between the lugs so no grinding needed

I'll look I have to replace pads anyhow.

10 minutes and a zip cut, problem solved.

X2 I wouldn't get mine anywhere else.

Haha **** that, for 400 bucks no thanks, that's more than I paid for my wheels. Regular ole billet aluminum wheel spacers are plenty fine.

Can't put a price on safety. With what I require of mine there's no way I'd run anything else, I actually paid a considerable amount more with the exchange rate. My built truck still sees car seat duty and tows my fifth wheel, for me it's a no brainer.

Ya I picked a set up for 85 bucks. No way I'd pay 400. I have kids and a fifth wheel too. I guess that stuff doesn't bother me. Good on ya tho.

My friend got some and had one then blow apart on the front end of his truck. 2K in body work and and a new LCA later he bought from this guy....
Just like any other thing in life you get what you pay for.

Holy shit ya that's no good. Makes me.somewhat rethink my purchase. I travel ALOT I'm in a different town every 4-5 weeks from Vancouver Washington down to Pocatello Idaho and every where in between. I'm only running spacers on the rear and my truck is 500ish hp would hate for as tire to come apart.

Was he just driving, racing, towing, etc..? I'm always curious to find out what circumstances parts fail in...

I think a lot of the cheaper ones are T6 aluminium IIRC
