ERAMOS08 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 IS ANYONE RUNNING WHEEL SPACERS AND WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF HAVING THEM? ARE THEY GONNA MAKE MY TRUCK SHAKE AT HIGH SPEED? THE REASON WHY I ASK IS AFTER SERCHING LOOK AND HARD I FINALLY FOUND THE WHEELS I WANT FOR MY TRUCK. WHEN I CALL THE COMPANY THEY TELL ME THAT THE 24" WHEEL THAT I WANT HAS A +35 OFFSET AND WONT WORK WITH THE TRUCK UNLESS I PUT A SPACER.

Holty Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm running a .25" spacer because otherwise my wheels will hit my brake calipers. So far I have no issues but .25" is absolutely as big of a spacer as you could go IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittySS Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I put 1/4'' wheel spacers on my SS and theres still tons of stud. It's hard to notice i even have them on there. If you want something noticeable I would go with 1.0'' wheel spacers, the ones that bolt on. I dont know if they would make the tires rub tho? People say spacers are hard on front end components, but i have 2.0'' bolt-on wheel spacers on my 2004 Silverado Z71 (winter truck) with 33'' tires and have never had any wheel bearing or front end issues.
