Wheel spacers question

Stroked777 · Oct 8, 2013

Ok the rims I got are -12 offset and the tires are 35x13.5r18, and my truck has a leveling kit, I originally bought the rims for my 04 (don't know if that offset factors into this) and now they are on my 08 F350, I'm looking to have the wheels poke out a little more for a better look and I was thinking about a 2 inch spacer, would there be a issue with this and would it rub at all? I'm not to worried about trimming anything (besides cutting sheet metal)I'm not looking for people to tell me not to run spacers I know the risk with them, I just wants a wider look. Who has quality spacers and also what's the thread pitch for the 08 wheel studs, thank for the input

if it's the truck in your avatar it looks like they stick out a bit now and if you throw a 2" spacer on it....it will DEFINITELY rub and will require quite possibly a good bit of trimming...I'd suggest just finding maybe a pacer 18x12 wheel if that's what you want....I know a guy down here in Va Beach has multiple sets and does ship....look on CL.

x2 on the rubbing.
you are better off to get the correct offset rim.

I have a 6" lift, 37s, 16.5" wheels, 2" spacers and still have rubbing. If you can swing it, get the right wheel/off set. You will be a lot happier. Especially if you start shreading lug nuts.

Let him bear the palm who has won it now Free

I run a 2" spacer on my truck...but only because of the amount of lift I run....and they don't make my wheel in a 14 wide lol....if it weren't for that I'd never run spacers, you just have to check them ALOT to ensure they don't work loose.

My wheels right now only stick out about 1.5 inches as of now. I might do to 33s next set of tires too

yeah if you stick your wheels out another 2".....3.5" total outside your fender......not going to happen unless you have a little more than a leveling kit on your truck, your going to rub,......EVERYTHING
