stick out of the truck a lil bit! How should i go about that? Could i just put washers be hind the rim on the threads that holds the rim onto the axle?

 

dont use spacers!! save up for some new rims

 

They do make wheel spacers for what you are describing, but from what I have read, they are not advisable and might cause issues.

 

i second this

 

Do you know where i can find these?


Thank you for saving me a world of trouble. lol.

 

I'm not sure what year truck you have, but below is a link for wheel spacers for my year truck (2002) and my bolt pattern (5x135). But as stated earlier, you might want to read up on this before you do it. I have no personal experience, but in my years on this site, I have read they are not safe. However, I have not read of any real proof\experience as to why they are not safe, it just seems to be a common response when this question comes up. Good luck.

Ive considered them. Ebay has some good selections. There are a lot of portugese running them on Chevy's and I have yet to hear of a spacer related issue offroad.

 

Noo sir no spacers. Get some wheels with a negative offset and a decent amount of backspacing.

 

Depends, if your street only go for spacers. if you offroad in the slightest then just buy new wheels

 

You need wider rims w/ a negative offset, as well as wider tires. period.

 

Thanks everyone! I was also wondering then, what are the rims called, that you see very comonly on off road trucks, have just like 8 holes in them, i think "bullet rims"?

 

Less backspacing, period.

 

Bullet hole

 

You DO NOT WANT TO USE SPACERS if you drive any at all on the highway or offroad!!! I had some Keystone Classic rims on my old '67 Chevelle SS that weren't exactly the bolt pattern for the car. I bought the correct bolt pattern spacers and put them on my car. About three days later, I noticed a shimmy in the front end, got home and pulled the driver's front wheel off, and theose spacers had sheared four of the five lug nut bolts off! The wheel would have come off very shortly if I hadn't checked. They were torqued to specs according to the directions with the spacers, but still came loose and almost caused MAJOR problems. Don't get spacers, PERIOD!!
