Yes wheel spacers...
I would think if you get steel ones they would be as strong as OEM?
If you keep it to 1" or 1.5 there should not be that much strain on the hubs.

Hmm wonder why the mpg haven't come down... It's like 10lbs heavier of a tire... The taller tire does lower your rpm's when cruising so I wonder if that has to do with it.

Maybe I have not drove it enough yet... I will keep you all updated. I expected a little drop.
My wife is complaining about the new tire smell in the garage. LOL

Nope have not adjust the speedometer at all. I don't plan on it and one reason I opted for the 275 60's instead of the 275 65's Tires. I have not noticed any change in shift points. Running pretty good.
I drove alot more today running around town hitting the flee market, antique stores, and military surplus shops and the gas mileage did drop .1...

I like the new wheel better than them others, but I am not into the blackout thing and prefer chrome.
Those PVD Wheels are nice.
I plan on heading up to the property today and I will run my Garmin GPS again and get some pics of how much the speedo is off. I would say not much at all.
You can see when I did this test with the stock tires it was dead on. The GPS would sometime take a sec to catch up to my speed but pretty much right on.

Ok got to do some speed testing with the new tires. Not off much at all. I am sure if I got up to 80 or 90 MPH or would be off 2 or more.
