Wheel Spacers ?

**Aronda1125** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-06-2008, 04:58 PM

Just wondering what u guys think of wheel spacers. I have an '05 F-350 and am looking to get new rims but cash is a little tight right now. Thinking of maybe getting 2" bolt on wheel spacers to widen out the stance, but have heard it's not a great idea. Any thoughts?

2" spacers are going to put a lot of strain on joints, bearings etc. I would personally never run a spacer over a half an inch thick.

save up for wider tires

I have asked this question.. It will wear everything prematurely.. If you want a wider stance get wheels with a larger offset.

I got 2" wheel spacers but i had to cause i was running 49" tall by 21" wide tires. I have some 1/4" wheel spacers i will sell and ship 170mm

I wouldn't go with the spacers either very hard on the bearings and ball joints I'd save for some aftermarket wheels with an offset
