Thanks. I picked up the wheels today and the spacers should come in tomorrow (gotta love prime). I’ll post pics when I get them on!

Sorry for the the dumb questions, new to this, but will these spacers work? Not sure what the 14x1.5 studs means and if the threads will be long enough?

The studs will be 1.5" long. The 14 is the thread style. You'll have to measure your rim thickness where the lug nuts go through to make sure they're long enough

Finally got around to putting them on. Ran into a small issue with the spacers, the threads were slightly bigger on my truck so I couldn’t use the nuts that came with the spacers. I also couldn’t use my oem lug nuts because although they fit in the spacer holes (barley), there was no room to get the socket in there to tighten. I ended up picking up some aftermarket lugs that weren’t as wide and got them on no problem. Very happy, just need to find some chevy center caps that fit.

The 14x1.5 is the thread size. 14 mm is the stud diameter and 1.5 is the thread pitch. it has nothing to due with the length of the stud. ALL metric bolts/studs give the measurements in millimeters for ALL dimensions( diameter, thread pitch and length.

Did you ever find center caps? I have the 17" ones and the center cap looks to be the same

Glad I found this post. I have a 91 WT that had old factory steelies. Just picked up some 18" Wrangler Sahara wheels and ordered 2" spacers off amazon. In my measuring, I was concerned about the extended center hub. I think the 2" spacer will allow it to clear, but didn't seem like 1.5" would work.

What sized tire did you put on? I have the same truck and I want to do something very similar.
