Wheel spacers
Anyone know if wheel spacers are safe to use on the rear of my truck? I have 16x8 rims with 305/70/16 goodyear wrangler at/s .
I want a more aggressive look on the rear. I have the Fabtech spindle lift and that pushes the wheels out about 3 inches, I want to push the rear out about 2 inches.

the back spacing is not that bad on the wheels you have
the 3" is total for both sides 1.5 and 1.5
the rear needs a inch per side ? if correct
1 inch wheel spacers are ok unless you tow alot
the studs are the weak link and the spacer should use 5 holes that bolt to the factory studs and the spacer will have its own studs built in, this is stronger than running one longer stud through all, AIM INDUSTRIES has many spacers built this way.
running a strong spacer is the same as those running high offset wheels that stick way out there.
