Default Wheel Spacers

I've never used wheel spacers before and I don't want to spend money on junk. I want to use them on my factory wheels. Do wheel spacers mess anything up or throw off any gauges? What do I need to look for when buying...I don't wont to worry that i bought some cheap metal spacers and my wheels might break off. Any advice is appreciated.

i have used them in the past. they get a bad rap for breaking, MOST times they aren't torqued properly and end up becoming loose and shattering. if you keep them torqued properly and check them everytime you rotate, i wouldn't worry. i know guys who run them on 3/4 tons and have no issues.

It looks like the back wheels stick out just a little bit farther than my front ones. Is this a real thing or are my eyes deceiving me?

I purchased 1.5" wheel adapters on eBay for right around 125.00 shipped for all 4, have been on the truck a good while now without any problems.. My buddies use them on their jeeps they rock crawl in and haven't had any problems..

Are you talking about with the tire off or just a regular picture to see what they look like fully installed and tire back on? Here is mine
