First off let’s be clear here. I’m not talking about just the spacer that goes between the wheel and the hub.

What I’m talking about is the adapter that bolts to the hub using the existing studs and the wheel will mount to the adapter using the studs provided. Giving me 1-1/2” spacing.

OK I just mounted 305/70/18’s on my stock wheels and I’m getting a little more rub at full lock than I’m comfortable with. I plan to buy aftermarket wheels next year just not in the funds right now.

Anybody do this on just the front only? Will this give the front too much of an offset to look correct with the back. Maybe I should go with all four corners?

Plan is to get the wheels a year from now so this would only be till that happens.

1,5" just to have the tire not rub inside?

what about having it rub the fender then?

1-1/2" I think is the narrowest you can buy them in order to utilize the stock studs.

Good point about interferance with the fender....not sure on that one.

I have 2" adapters from adapt-it-usa and I would definatley doing all four corners. 1.5" doesn't sound like a lot, but the truck would look way goofy if you do just the front. Also, I have a full 6in lift and 33s and I rub the front vallance if I turn too fast. If you wanted to just give a little extra space you could always get 1/4" or 1/2" spacers that might also help.

Thanks for the input.

I've heard horror stories about spacers so I'm not excited about those. I fish alot and a few ramps I deal with are tight turns. Other wise I'd just live with it till can get new wheels.

I can trim the Valance if necessary but somewhat concerned about the rear of the front tire hitting the fender.

You were correct, you must run at least 1.5 inch adapters. I ran them on the front of my truck only for about 3 months until I had money to drop on proper wheels. I got mine off eBay for $70 for a set of 2. Nobody ever noticed the difference unless I said something about them, and they fixed my rubbing.

I've definatley heard some nasty things about the spacers as well, hence the adapters. The only thing that I'm hitting is my valance; the back of my tires come really close to my fenders, but I also have a bit of offset from the knuckles that came with the lift so I'd imagine that you should clear the sheetmetal with only the 1.5".
