Default New tires and 1.5" wheel adapters!

Put on some 1.5 hub centric wheel adapters and Cooper Zeon LTZ 305x55x20! Very happy with the out come! Just the look I was hoping to achieve. Heres some pics, I found that pics of 1.5 spacers installed were hard to find. Here here's a few!







And a few with just the spacers, and my old 285x55x20 BFG's

Be very careful with them. I had front spacers on my truck for rubbing purposes.

I made a U-Turn on the roadway and ripped through 5 bolts on the right front and 3 bolts on the left front. The force of the turn just tore them in half. It was immediately towed.

To clarify: the connection from the truck to the spacer was fine. The spacer to the rim was destroyed. I have pictures somewhere i can post.

You bet thanks guys. I'm gonna be keeping a close esy in them. But I baby my truck, no off road and no mud. Zero ruff use, so they should be fine. As far as the studs, I trimmed my one side studs about 1/16, then noticed my rims are machined out where the old studs stick out a wee bit. The stud could stick through an easy 1/4" and still be ok.
