what brand wheel spacer do you guys run?

Getting ready to buy some bolt on wheel spacers, no,...not shim style. Just wondering what everybody uses on their sport tracs. Yes, i have oversized tires on aftermarket rims and a 3 inch lift.
 






Only buy spacers which have perfectly sized holes, and just six holes. The best kind are the only relatively safe kind, you have to have five or more threads engaged by the lugnuts(more than the stud size in depth of threads). The very thick kind with five new studs in them etc, are unsafe in most people's opinion. Those are risky, the huge forces at the lugnuts and threads can make those loosen or fail.

This below is the only one I've used, they are a high quality aluminum, not cheap and soft. They were about $10 each.

I buy the appropriate offset wheels, and won’t use spacers, especially with heavy off road tires.
