7" lift with spacers ?

[yodge]

I have a 13' ram with a 7" lift looking to get some wheel spacers. The spindles I have already push the wheels out about 1.5" and my rear is stock. I'm thinking about 1.5" or 2" wheel spacers
Does anyone have any pictures or any advice? never thought id use wheel spacers before. Thanks in advance

Im still uneasy with the use of spacers, even though plenty of people use them with no problems. Maybe its just the maintenance of them.

I bought some 3 months ago and still haven't installed them lol if you want them holler at me bro

 

[yodge]

I've never even considered them. What maintenance do they require ?
I know I'm keeping that in the back of my mind

Just constant re-torqueing, and with the weight of my wheels/tires that seems like a PITA! lol

I just want my truck to sit like this -24 offset)

That's what I'm wanting too, some wider wheels/tires. Whats your current wheel width & offset?

 

[yodge]

My current wheels are 37 12.50
I'm new to the offset I think it's +0 because they sat flush like the stock ones did

Ok, yea I have 0 offset on my 20x9 wheels. I want to go to a 20x10 -24 or 20x12 -44.
I got the height, now I want some WIDTH!! LOL

 

[yodge]

Exactly ! To get some stance ! I want -24 offset I think it looks perfect

I got my 1.75" spacers in a few weeks ago and haven't found time to put them on yet either lol. And now I'm about to go back offshore for 2 weeks.. I will try to get them on next time I come home.

I bought mine in 2009, and they are perfect, I tow a 32 foot travel trailer all the time, mine are Hub Concentric and Wheel concentric, it means that the wheels themselves dont rest soley on the lugs ,they rest on the hub in the center like the factory ones, they are not cheap at all, but have not given any problems, I had a gear installed a while back and my tech had hell getting them off, they are VERY tight when they are on there, the universal ones got the bad rap, because they use the lug studs to hold on to the wheel by themselves, and if they didnt get re-torqued all the time disaster..... nothing universal here, they are hand made for your specific truck..mine are 1.5 inches, here is the site.....

Stock wheels and offset with spindles, and spacers on rear

Thats the same ones I have. BORA brand 1.5".

Im guessing you also had to trim the wheel studs a little bit to accommodate the width of spacer?

 

[BULLRAM]

No trimming at all.....just bolted them up, and torqued

 

[sausec17]

oh yeah, you have a 2009. Later models have longer studs, which require us to trim down .010" or the wheel wont sit flush on the spacer..kinda a bummer

 

[BULLRAM]

wow ,thats strange...but at least it works

Unless you get the 1.75'' adapters! So I have read, still haven't installed mine yet hahaha

haha me neither. I shouldve went with the 1.75" spacers, Ill wait until you install them first before I decided on using any lol

 

[yodge]

Yea by the looks of this thread I'll wait until someone has good reviews about the 1.75" adapters before I make a decision haha

Hate to hijack but will be installing maxtrac 7in kit soon and really really want to go with 20x12 -44 and 37s. You guys think I'll have rubbing issues on that alone? If I add 3in BL will that help?
