Wheel Spacers

[chris_p88]

So, i know wheel spacers arent the best, but i dont have money to spend on a new set of rims right now, but im looking for a more aggressive stance.

i havent been able to find any hub centric spacers, they are all lug centric.

would 6x5.5 and 78.3mm center bore sound right? i might just design hub centric spacers and have them made at a friends machine shop.

if anyone can point me in the right direction please do so!

Thanks!

Chris

Hub centric is best. Lug centric is putting all the weight of the vehicle on just the wheel studs. The hub is to support the weight and the studs is only to hold the wheel tight to the hub.

I'm just going to say this. If you can't afford wheels, can you afford a wheel spacer to fail? Quality wheel spacers are expensive.

Check out freds, I believe his website is wheeladapter. com.

I can design and CNC some spacers at a friends shop out of 6061-T6 Aluminum, which i'm pretty sure is the same material Fred uses. i will definitely call him and find shipping quotes to Canada though. thanks for the site!

Freds are made of steel. His prices are up there but the guys that haul heavy all swear by them. The above picture is of the spacers for our dually.

That's a good question, I got them 3 years ago and I don't remember now
