i got Freds, a funny guy to talk to .

you gotta place the order on his site then he will call you and make the spacer as you want.

WheelAdapter.com is your number one source for wheel adapters, wheel spacers, used wheels, and wheel studs.

If you cant find any steel ones I know where you can find some tough aluminum ones. I beat on them and even had the truck 4-5' high jumping a heavy ford diesel and they never broke or showed signs of wear after years.

Freddy how much (+) do you need? I had the half inch aluminum spacers on my front end because of the offset of the rims, and it was fine. Over half inch id get new lugnuts.

The aluminium used in 99.9% of all wheel spacers is 6061-T6 grade. It is 1.5 time stronger than mild steel, lighter and doesnt rust. It is the same grade aluminium used in most wheels. You can run them and feel confident that they are safe.
