wheel spacers

[1996DANGERRANGER]

hello, im lookin at makin my own wheel spacers. but i want to make the ones that have the studs in them so they dont break off. .but i need to look at a pair so i was wondering if someone could post some pictures front and back of a pair. thanks in advance!

buy em. the last thing you need is them breaking on the highway

my uncle is a machinist so i was going to have him make me a pair out of titanium with the stud relocaters and everything so that doesnt happen

Titanium is brittle, I would go aluminum

If you do get Aluminum, don't be cheap, get T6 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum. Personally I would go for NMSS(non-magnetic stainless steel), which is a very fine grade of stainless steel with almost no carbon(hence non-magnetic).

EDIT: If it was me I would be using Alcoa billet aluminum for these.

i got 4 off ebay new for $150. i thought that was pretty good.

 

[RollinWOT]

What company did you buy them from?

 

[Boggin]

me? ebay

 

[RollinWOT]

Guess I didn't make myself clear enough. I meant what brand and did you buy them from someone or through a vendor?

you can get 1-1/4 inch wheel spacers from spidertrax... about 90$ a pair. they say that they are supposed to be for jeeps and toyotas only... but as long as the bolt circle matches you are fine. I have 4 of these on my '04 ranger, it has a 5 on 4.5 pattern... no problems at all. would reccommend them

 

[RollinWOT]

Yeah I've seen the ones from Spidertrax before. Do they come with Loctite, nuts, and torque specs? And what grade are the bolts they use if you know?
