You need to get some really heavy duty ones for a truck. The torque they have to withstand is massive.

Spacers suck. Why not just duct tape the wheel on?

wheel spacers are bad news on a fullsize truck!! better and safer to get wheels with the propper backspace!!

Ford or Dodge truck rims will fit. Ford mid 70s maybe earlier to '96. Dodge mid 70s maybe earlier to mid '90s.
