wheel spacers

[larsen101]

i want to offset my tires some more so they stick out and give some better balance. are there any big problems with using wheel spacers? better to get different rims?

I put on 2" wheel spacers after I got my lift installed. I kept the stock rims and put on 33/10.50/R15 BFGs. I had to do something to widen the stance so I went with 2" wheel spacers. They worked great, really helped widen the stance and fill in the space under the wheel well in the rear. I didn't have a single issue with them. They felt fine. I only had them on for about 5 month though. Then I got tired of the skinnies, tires of the spacers, and upgraded to a 15x10 rim on 12.50 wide BFGs. See the pics below for before and after pics.

I was just gonna post a thread for these babies. I got mine coming in the mail, I ordered the 1 1/2" ones I thought the 2" would be a little much. I'll get some pics up when theyre on.

I had some 2 inch wheel spacers on my 99 model and it drove and looked great then after spending 400 dollars on hub bearings and another 60 on axle bearings I decided to take them off, Just my 2 cents i wouldnt run them on a daily driver.

I run them on my off road truck and have had no problems. I wouldn't use them on a DD. They are hard on ball joints and bearings. I bought mine on e-bay. I tourqued them until the impact stopped.
