Wheel spacers weak?
Wheel spacers weak?
2001 super crew with 6" Fabtech I run 35x13.5x20 when I switch to my all terrains they sit inside the wheel well too much (I installed bushwacker fender flares)compared to the xterrains if I install whell spacers to make the sit the same how much weaker is the set up for offroading if any.P.S.

DO NOT GET WHEEL SPACERS! I had 1.5" spacers on the front of my old 97 F150 for my 38x15.50 mickey thompson MTZ's and I had nothing but trouble. Everytime I rotated the tires at least on stud would break and have to be replaced. My father in law strongly advised me not to get them along with Wandell and others on this site but I did anyhow. Ultimatly the right front tire and wheel sheered all 5 studs off the passenger side while running 60 on the highway while taking my pregnant wife to a doctors appointment. So after the father in law coming with the Roll back (the wife's uncle and dad own the biggest bodyshop in this area, very very very nice!) and about $2000 worth of damage, I am now the proud owner of an 04 f150!
