2 inch spacers for my rig?

[lkfldredneck]

Thinkin about spacers for my rig. ive already got offsets, and are about 2 inches offset. im thinkin about gettin em farther out cause i like the look. this is what it looks like now except the bumper is black and the GMC is black.

i love wheel spacers. just be prepared to replace your wheel bearings.

it's not much different than a wheel with negative offset though.

a two inch spacer plus a negative offset wheel equals a ton of leverage, and when the wheel is 70+lbs they'll wearout quickly. but i was willing to pay that price for a bad ass look. lol wheel bearings are super easy to change out.

I gotcha. No doubt they do put stress but getting a 2" spacer is no different than getting an aftermarket wheel with a 4" backspacing. Same amount of stress I mean.

Yea, wheel bearings arent the worst to do. plus my neighbors got a lift thatll make it 10X easier than workin in dirt. im probably gonna do it. but i just gotta get some money

....and now you all know why I said "no"......

Equally bad. But with a spacer you have another failure point as opposed to an offset rim.

There's also penalties in track width and traction issues (with both).

But I've typed past my quota today......

These are the ones I hope I can order today. Not the same spacer, but it's a link.
