Wheel spacer experience

[Slabhunter]

Who has installed wheel spacers on their 2500 4x4? Did they create any new problems? Pros and cons please.

I had BORA wheel spacers from Motorsport Tech on my 1500 4x4 for almost 2 years with no issues. The stance looks much better with my fenders flares and spacers are a lot cheaper than new wheels.

Make sure they are hub eccentric.

What is hub eccentric?

The spacer will fit inside the rim so as not to run the risk of the wheel assembly being off and giving vibrations. The spacer will look like a stock hub surface with a raised “lip on it the fits inside the rim center.

Note that hubcentric only pertains to the stock wheels, as most aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore than the vehicle (so they fit multiple vehicles) and are lug centric. Meaning the 60° cone on the lug nuts centers the wheel on the hub.

But you can get hub rings so that the wheel is hubcentric and ensures it is properly centered.
