wheel extensions?

nutsie · 09-03-2008, 07:11 PM

with winter on the way I am thinking of taking off my aftermarket wheels and reinstalling the Factory's. i guess my question is do they make or has anyone have any knowledge of wheel extensions to maintain that wide stance, pros / cons

thanks

yeah, you can just install some spacers... go to JCWhitney.com to get some cheap...
that should work...

Hmmm Ya like bigdaddydiesel said... They make them. BUT I'd serioulsy would consider NOT using them. Alot of times there made from aluminum and if you pull a load with the spacers or even just plain driving could cause them to break and fail.

$50,000 truck with $50 spacers

Not to mention the additional stress on the Bearings,... like we need more Hub replacements!

they are right about that!!! they work ok for looks, but that is about it. they aren't very dependable for anything else...

I used spacers on my old drag car to clear the innerfender and snapped alot of wheelstuds so it's not a good idea
