Wheels spacers?

[ekaz]

You'd need to know how deep those pockets are and how long the factory studs are to gauge whether or not you're going to have to cut them.

Those would be them.

Nice, now i just gotta firgure out if i want to go with 1.25 or 1.5. Would i just go with the same spacers in the rear as well? depending on what thickness i choose?

I'm not an expert on the field but everything I read says that you should go a .25" wider on the rear spacers to even the track width out. The front track width is wider than the rear by a little bit. If that doesn't bother you, same thickness all the way around.

If you have a spacer lift or lifted struts on the truck you buy the same size front and rear.

Because when the front suspension drops down it sucks the wheels in a little.

I dont have any spacer lift or lifted struts (yet). Everything in regards to my suspension is stocked at the moment

Oh i see, i just ordered 4x 1.5inch spacers... so i guess the correct way would be to do 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the back?

From what I've read and my math, yes.

I called motorsport and they just told me to get 4x of the same spacer length, do you have the article where you read that so i may educate myself better?

It was in a thread somewhere around here. I don't have the link unfortunately. I read it, took a note, and that was it.

I just found the treads, yeah definitely going to go with the 1/4 different.

Now just gotta firgure out how to tell if my tires will rub...

Turn your wheels to full lock and measure your clearance from the tire to your fender. If it’s more than 1.5in then you’re good

I think with my current tires set up after a rough measurement I got about 1.3 or so inch left before the tire hits the mudflaps and etc. Now I guess I would just want to run .75 spacers if anything just for a bit better clearance, however... anyone know the stud length of the front wheels? Trying not to trim the studs if I can...

Sorry to spam this once more but i feel like a bit eh about running spacers, is there any ways i can get more clearance between my tires and the UCA? Would using a BDS coil over leveling kit give me a bit more clearance? just wondering haha

The spacers should push your wheels away from the UCA. As long as you have some clearance, you'll be fine. They won't "run into" each other, and if they do, you have bigger issues. lol

yeah, its just one more point of failure if they do end up failing and thats the thing turning me away, a credit card fit between em (UCA and tires) so i guess i should be fine

running 2" with stock Rebel wheels and tires. No issues at all and love the stance now.
