Who has them and what size tire are you running. I have some new meats on the way and need to figure out how much spacer I need to run. Goin with 33/12.50 so its gonna be thick. :evil
 
my bro put some on his 98 dodge. call performance wheel . com @ 1-866-375-5790. they will make what you want right away. his are 2" with a 36x10.5x16" stock rim
 
I actually picked up a set from a Rail truck (pickups that can run on the rail lines) anyway, it was pretty easy to make them work. They were for an older ford so the bolt patern was the same. Just had to knock out the studs, chuck it in the lathe and bore out the center to fit my hub on my rear axle. I was going to order a set from Preformance wheel but just stumbled across these for free so I went for it. They were 2" thick but I machined them down to 1.5" since I was only going to be running my 255/85r16's

I will give them a shout on monday, sounds like it will need 3"ers.
 
There's some 2" spacers for sale here right now....look in the For Sale forum.
 
i got 2.5'' ers they should work, had inch gap with 305's
 
i agree with house as i think my bro's are spread a little to much, but do look good
 
Aren't wheel spacers weaker than the stock mounting? That is what I have always heard, anyway. Edjumicate me!!

bean is running a dually and doesnt want the sidewalls rubbing, or not be able to even bolt them up.
 
I have put a wee bit of power to a dually with wheel spacers and on the track had NO problems, however on the street doing a burnout you could see that the tires had different amounts of load on them as both outer tires left less of a mark than the inners. I take it that the studs or spacers were flexing.

my dually has 2" aluminum spacers on it. and when i do a burn out all 4 leave a nice even set of marks. i got mine off e bay for cheap.

I understand that, but I was under the impression that they were not a good idea for heavy towing, racing, or pulling because they were weaker than the stock mounting. Just asking.
 
if they survived the stuff joe has done with his truck they will work just fine for about anything anyone on here is gonna do and still drive the truck on the street....
