wheel adapters/spacers

[Rudy A]

i got the 20 inch chromes with spinner kit...my truck is RWD so the wheel bearing in the front sticks out too much where i can put on the spinner kit....

i think i need a kit around 1.25"

please help thanks

what do you need help with? sounds like you know your problem already

need to know where to get them cheap and if they safe nd **** and if anyone knows the exact spacing i need for front

The spacers with built in studs are safe. I wouldn't go past 1" though.

Use a hub-centric type design. The spacer with lugs is held on the hub like a stock wheel would be, with the center lips supporting the rim and hub junction. A non hub-centric spacer places all the weight on the studs- which is not a normal stress.

This style works well on the Explorer. Just be cautious about the lugs always being tight. They sometimes loosen and result in a wheel coming loose in motion.

what about wheel spacers for 4wd...i just wanna give my truck that wider/more agressive stance, without dumping money into rims (well at least not yet )

The same rules apply for 2 or 4wd. Get good quality ones, with studs built in.
