Spacers = bad

Offset wheels = good


And for about the same price as a good pair of spacers, you can get 15x10s

spacers add extra pressure on the studs and can break them off after a while and it goes double for older trucks. offset wheels are better.

Spacers=bad. Period. Some people have good luck with them. Theyll be alright on the rear, but shouldnt be on a front axle.

Think of a tractor with duals(ive seen this happen way to much)

What happens when you pull the tractor on 8x8 blocks under the duals?? Then put about 5 tons of load on the rear, what happens after some use??? Axle breaks.

Long story short. It puts waaaaay to much stress on your hubs.

On another forum i know of atleast 100 guys that use wheel spacers up to 3 inches and they all are running them on 14 inch wide wheels with 37's and their rims have crazy offset. I mean these things stick out a good 8 inches, so how are you gonna fight that? I mean its either spacers or 2 hellas for the front bumper
