[GreenGoblin]

Anybody running 1/4" spacers with 12.5 wide tires I'm curious to if you have any vibration or rubbing issues

I am running 1/4" spacers with 305/55/20 tires on stock wheels and they work fine. No vibration, and the tires don't rub anything.

Where did you get the spacers? I see a lot of guys running the motorsports-tech but they sure are high

I'm running the Gorilla SP603 spacers. These are only about $5-$10 each, so they aren't expensive.

What is the difference? I understand you get what you pay for but the ones I looked at were 220 an that's crazy for a 1/4" spacer

You may have been looking at the larger spacers that have new lugs. This is not necessary on such a small spacer. At only 1/4", there are still plenty of threads on the stock lugs for the wheel to stay secure.

Well buddy I sure appreciate it you just saved me about 200 bucks

Thanks from me too.This is the exact info I have been looking for.

Just for reference, here is what the 1/4" spacers look like with a stock wheel and 305/55/20 tires...

I already have a -12 offset wheel, would a 1/4" spacer be recommended. I heard it can put stress on the hubs. I imagine it's no different than running a -24 offset for example.

I actually didn't want to run the spacers, but it was just too tight of a fit with the wide tire and the stock control arms. I had about 1/16th" of clearance between the back of the tire and the upper control arm, but it would touch when I turned the wheel. These spacers pulled them out just enough to clear without making them stick out too far.

Are the spacer you have hub centric? Everything I keep seeing says they need to be or it could put a lot of stress on the studs an eventually damage them

I am curious too. I am buying -12 offset wheels and I thought I wouldnt need spacers at that offset to get a 12.5" tire in.

Although spends, these look like the best. We manufacture the best Wheel Spacers money can buy | Motorsport Tech

About $220 for 4 but anybody who has them says it's a perfect fit, and smooth ride.

Read multiple reports of the cheap non-centric spacers causing vibration due to the wheels not perfectly centered.

Matt, are you running them on the rear, too? And are your wheels stock? I quit running 305s last time I got tires because they rubbed at full lock turning left only.

Nevermind, I finished reading the other posts and saw your picture. Sorry

Yes, I am running them front and rear because I didn't want the fronts sticking out more than the rear. I also have the stock chrome clad wheels. I have had this setup over 100mph 3 times now and have not felt any vibrations with the cheap spacers. Here are 2 pics with the new rear drop coils showing how much the tires stick out of the fender with the front/rear spacers installed...

Will 1/4 spacers work on the stock rims with the toyo or nitto's 35x12.5x20 or will I need bigger spacers
