I have a 2012 F 150 Harley Davidson edition with 22 inch wheels and I am awaiting my new 33 12.5 22 Toyo Open Country MT tires. I also have a 2 inch Daystar leveling kit. My current tires are Pirelli Scorpions zero 275 45 22. Will I need some wheel spacers?

 

Dont do it ! I ran 33x12.50 r18 toyo mts , and ordered trail gear unl. wheel spacers 1 1/4 in ...My right wheel snapped on a turn. The spacer bolts sheered right off. They were the correct ones for my 2013 , -hub centric and had them torqued accordingly after install . I immediately pulled the rest off and one of the rears was about to sheer off as well. I avoided wheel spacers for years and was " against " them after hearing horror stories. I finally gave in and ordered a set to avoid buying rims. NEVER AGAIN !!! The company denied and said it was install failure !

 

They are fine as long as you get quality parts. I can not speak to the above company as I have never heard of them, but from one of the major places like the ones form wheeladapter.com are fine. but if needed. I can not say

 

www.wheeladaters.com. They are made by Fred Goeske (look him up). Not cheap. Mine were $300. However, they are the best out there. Not a single problem and I have had them on quite a while running heavy 35"s & my truck is not a pavement queen. I literally live offroad back a mile long lane and have a large property I patrol as well as neighboring farms. In total, 1,000 acres to cruise around on 4-wheeling, deer scouting, coyote/groundhog hunting etc.

 

Wow so your running expensive spacers too? Hmm I got into a fight on here with some dude get all bent out of shape cause mine were more expensive then the ebay ones.. Told him you get what you pay for and that they cost more for a reason..

 

Yeah, I saw that thread. $300 is cheap for peace of mind & safety. I think it's funny how people get a bad misconception about adapters, but think nothing of running an aftermarket wheel with major backspacing/offset.

That's what I'm saying either way your tire an wheel is sticking out. I like my spacers though haha

 

So the moral of the story is if you spend a decent amount of $ and get quality spacers you should be ok?

 

not necessarily. buy from wheeladapter and you should be ok steel units with years of racing usage history. they just happen to be expensive

 

Been running ebay spacers on my 12 mustang gt and my truck for many many miles without issues.

Hubcentric bolt on and I have plenty peace of mine.

Apparently I'm the one who got "bent out of shape"...no problems with my "cheap" spacers
