Post Wheel Spacers ?

I know the back spacing is too much on the H2's, but new chrome take offs & a non chrome rim to mount a spare for free I can not complain . Now the left UCA rubs at full lock to left. I will need a 1/4 inch spacer to solve this problem I hope. Every place I called like Les Schawb, Big O ect... says no. But I've heard & read about people using them. Any inputs on spacers would be nice.......

You can see the rubbing on the rear of the UCA. Brake line at front of UCA. I've read endless topic of H2 wheels on Diesel Place . Most are using spacer. Am waiting for mine. Just wanted to know why most places I call are so negitive about it.

yeah, I just started reading there. I deleted my post because it looked like you had the answer from there. I wish I could help you on that. I don't see any problems with wheel spacers. Have you checked NAPA? I was in there today and thought I saw some wheel spacers in there. I didn't take a close look, but I'm pretty sure they were probably about 1/4". It might be a start.

Yeah I really don't see why wheel spacers seem to be looked down on so badly at some places...
