Wheel rubbing problem :bang - Competition Diesel.Com

09 Dodge Ram 3500
8inch lift in the back 5 inch block with 37 12.5 17 tires with stock rims
There a 2/5 inch spacer on top of the hub the rim 2 inch spacer and the other rim. The tire rubs the u bolt top plate. If I put an inch spacer right after the hub the tire will clear
I’ve looked at tires they don’t seem to sell a 10.5 in a 37 and finding longer wheel studs seems impossible. I don’t want to spend 2k on some fancy aluminum rims. I like steel rims. I’m tapped out with spending money on the truck . Any suggestions?

Having a hard time following that?
What is it exactly the wheel is rubbing?

Also if you did want to run wheel spacers, don't recommend doing so on a heavy truck, but longer studs shouldn't be needed to do so. The spacers will have their own set of studs, and they mount on the axle using the stock length studs in between.

Sounds like he's trying to make spacers.

As Jason explained, real spacers have lug studs on them. The spacer bolts to the hub or axle then the wheel bolts to the spacer.

The tire is rubbing on the u bolt plate at the top of the leaf spring

I have a 2/5 inch spacer on the hub that just slides over the stock studs then the rim would go on the the 2inch adapter and then the rim is that a little more clear? I know it’s hard without a visual i apologize

No.

What is a “2/5 inch spacer”?

Then you have “the rim would go on the the ... adapter and then the rim”....

No. Not clear at all.
