Wheel spacer photos

[butterscotch71]

For anyone looking for the right offset on your factory 22" wheels that pushes them out to the edge of the flares but not beyond, here's before and after. First photo is stock spacing, remaining photos are with 1" front spacers and 1 1/4" rear. Tires are stock.

Looks good…right where they should be. Did you have to cut the ends of the oem lugs off?

Nice lookin truck !

Thank you! I have a lot into turning a Longhorn with lots of chrome into what it is now. The factory should have built the wheel offset this way. Sad you have to do spacers to fix it. No, I didn't have to cut the wheels studs on the front or back to fit these wheels.

My thoughts were that the oem studs would have needed to be cut so they were not protruding beyond the spacers. But maybe they are not over an inch long?

Wow, thats a longhorn?! Yea i agree…i love the interior of the longhorns, but prefer the exterior of a laramie or limited.

Kudos to you, you got yourself a nice custom truck there!

That does look so much better. I have the factory fender flares like yours on my BTS and it does look a little goofy from the back with the wheels sucked in. Those spacers make it look perfect. Which spacers did you use? Is there any tire rubbing anywhere when turning?

Thanks again. The studs do protrude beyond the face of the spacer, but these wheels have enough of a pocket in the back that the studs do not hit the wheel.
I bought the longhorn because of the interior knowing I would have to spent a bit of money getting rid of the chrome. There are a LOT of pieces to that grille. It's a limited grille that I painted to match the truck.

I went with Bora spacers. Not the cheapest, but made in the US and good quality. No rubbing at all
