A 10" rim is plenty wide for 35" tire's if they are 12.50s. If they are 14.50s then a 12" rim will be okay. Personally I would not use spacers especially on the steer axle

 

Might be pretty stupid to ask this, but I was looking at purchasing some 2 inch wheel spacers and was wondering if this is a good idea. I was looking at a set from supreme suspensions billet wheel spacers.

 

Never a good idea. Wheels and backspacing etc are designed to keep the center of the wheel over the load bearing part of the axle....the hub etc.

I've seen too many spacers fail and everyone does it for the wide stance stuff that seems to be cool. You are greatly sacrificing reliability and wear and tear on parts.

 

typical front steer axle OEM spacer used on a dually

ford dana 80 ( most dually ) rear spacer

you can see the distance to bearing center has changed dramatically

if you use a spacer make sure you get the proper style (ie hubcentric) and a good brand

every dually with oversized tires runs a dually spacer between the rim

but you eliminate any user error or product failure point by not running a spacer

same can be said for keeping with stock wheels and tires i guess

 

Spacers are generally safe to use. But if you are going to use them to space out the rims really far or you use your rig for towing, spacers are not a good idea.

 

Its May-ja-vu... #merge

 

Does anyone have a link to a good set of 2 inch spacers? I might just space the rear out because the front already sticks out I good amount

there are a few really good brands

here is one WheelAdapter.com is your number one source for wheel adapters, wheel spacers, used wheels, and wheel studs.

Do I really need to spend $370 on steel spacers or could I buy some aluminum ones for cheaper?

Spend the money on good ones. Check torque and for cracks often.

 

Just get spacers for the rear and 12 wides will be good. OBS trucks, the 10.25" rear track width is 4" narrower than the front Dana 60. Don't use spacers up front. Get two 2" spacers for the back.

I've got 20x12 SOTA Awols, -51 offset I believe, and they stick out a lot. That's with 2" spacers in the rear just to correct the track width. There are no spacers up front.

 

Who doesn't love pictures?

The tires are 37x13.50 Toyo MT. I think a 12" wide rim is perfect for the 13.5" wide tires.

 

That is one good looking truck man! And that's exactly what I was thinking, I think I'm just going to go with 2 inch spacers in the back
