anyone got pics from the fender with 10" wheels prefer 16x10s with 305/70/16s or 315/70/16s so i can see how far they stick out?

Look in my album called sd tails and you'll see some and I can get more if you want with the 12"s

....
Those are actually spacers, (center to center is the same) but they don't slide on, they bolt on. By going the bolt on way they can go wider. The adapters that company makes will change the lug spacing, say from 5 on 4.5 to 5 on 5 centers.

I had to use a set of 1.5" spacers on my front, got them from a guy off ebay for around $60 a pair i've been using them for a couple of years with no problems at all

I am thinking of adapting my 5x135 bolt pattern to either 5x5.5 or 6x5.5 so I can go with a bigger selection of wheels...I am going with a 2 inch spacer...With the 2 inch spacer I can fit 15's with a little caliper grinding or 16's just fine...I can get a hundred times more wheels in either of those two patterns compared to 5x135...So what do you guys think...

I really considered doing that before I found these wheels but I would only do 5 lug to 5 lug.

But even still there aren't too man 5.5" 16" still either unfortunately

Procomp makes alot and so does American Racing...I found 50 sets in 16 inch, 370 sets in 16 inch to 22 inch and in sets from 15 inch to 22 inch I found 470 different types of wheels...In 5x135 there is 120 sets total...I think that gives me enough selection to warrant going to 5x5.5 and that is just from 4 Wheel Parts, I haven't checked with anyone else yet...Plus I already got 3 sets of aluminum 15x10 wheels in 5x5.5 and with the spacers/adapter installed it would put them far enough out that they would probably work and I will be able to run my brand new BF Goodrich A/T's...I am going to do some measuring today...

If it was my choice I would get some 5x135 to 8x6.5 adapters and run 8 lug wheels...
