Default Thoughts on wheel spacers

Hi all

I have a 13 f150 xlt stock ride height running factory rims and tyres. my quuestion is i have ordered a set of 1.5" wheel spacers and was wondering what ppl have to say about them. Are they hard on wheel bearings? do they come loose? and just weather or not ppl recommend them.

Thanks Corey

Personally I think they are as dangerous as hell, other people on here think they are just fine, so the choice is yours. My understanding is they are something you don't want to go cheap on, and make sure they are hub centric.

Extra weight and another piece to fail and another cost to bear. Just buy and spec your rims and tires to fit perfectly the way you want them the first time. If you're trying to make some wheel work with your axle I'd suggest trading or selling to get a rim that fits right.
