Default Wheel spacers....

So i have an 04 (new model) f150 sitting on 35s. I really want to get wheel spacers to stance out my truck just a little bit. What do you guys recommend like brand and size? I don't want to go to far out just like an inch or inch and a half.

I have a set of 1 1/2 inch hubcentric ones Paid 160 for them I'll sell them to you for 120 shipped I got rid of mine cause I broke 4 studs. REASON it did this was I didn't read the directions about factory stud length. the factory studs were just a TINY TINY bit too long cause the wheel to not fully sit on the spacer there for they were rocking back and forth and finally broke studs.

I used them for 2 months before a set of studs broke. they're high grade studs mind you.. the company was nice enough to send me all new studs for them and told me I had to trim my factory studs. I refuse to cut them so there for my loss your gain. I loved the way spacers look tho.



lesson learned READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU USE THEM MAKE SURE YOU CAN RUN A RULER OVER THE STUDS AND IT NOT CATCH. OTHERWISE TRIM YOUR STUDS

Where did you order them at? I'm assuming I would have to trim my studs down too if you had that problem. I just don't know if I really want to do that.

Ebay, it's a decent company i got them from. they are giving me full replacement studs i'll replace them as well.

you're not actually trimming the thread length of the studs, all you have to trim is the fat end that's before the threads. which isn't a big deal I just didnt want to take the time to do it.

the picture is shorter then real life but you get the idea just need to grind or cut that down and u'll be fine its not messing with the actual stud
