| 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.......
Baka....

| 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.
