Default Stance

Got this off of google, not mine.

My truck is currently stock, id really like to achieve this stance, but I don't want wheel spacers.

I've never looked at aftermarket rims either, anyone have this kinda setup that can shed some light for me?

Hahahah that's pfoleys old truck. That truck had 20x12's with wheel spacers I believe... here's my little bit of stance... needless to say I think I'm the widest on here lol.... this is 22x14 and 3" 6061 billets with heat treated grade 10 studs.... frame will crunch before these spacers give.

I've gotta say.... these Gen 10's are some damn fine looking trucks.

When they were first introduced, I thought Ford was nuts..... but they have become a favorite to me. Still like the 73-79's best, but wow... good looking truck 02_Black...

Thanks Whitey! It's not for everyone and I understand that, it's not very practical anymore but it sure is a addicting to build!

But seriously... you're regurgitating what you've heard from stupid people doing stupid thing... and that makes you...

In the custom truck world spacers are on just about every other build. Some pushing 800+ whp with no issues. If your not an idiot and know what your doing it's not "dangerous" judging by your pic, your not big into the real custom truck scene anyways.

How big are your spacers 02BOW (that's my new name for you, LOL)? Three inch you say?

Looks to me like your wheel offset is the major contributor to how it sits. Maybe it's an illusion?

Haha, Yessir they are 3" solid billet. I watched them be cut. The wheels are a lot of the offset but the spacers are to. I had to go with spaces or have wheels custom drilled. The problem with custom drilling for 5x135 is you completely cut down on chances for resale. 5x5.5 is common enough to still be marketable if you ever plan to sell.

I have yet to see an issue on any of the trucks I've had a hand in building from spacers. Other than the obvious premature wear. BORA or machine shop is the only way to go, and the only way I'm comfortable recommending. Cheap eBay spacers are exactly that, cheap.
