When you come out here to AZ, I'll make you some Cody

 

you need to maintain a minimum of 7 full turns of the lug nuts onto the studs. you should be able to run about a 1/4" spacer on stock studs.

 

1/4" is the most I ever did. I wouldnt go anymore. that gives a 1/2" total which helps.

 

it gives a 1/2 total?

 

1/4" each side makes the front a combined 1/2" wider

 

yeah man, 1/4" plus 1/4" is a half inch in my book. I gradiated the thrid gade!

 

be nice to Cody

 

I was, I am just a playful fella man. I normally try to help out koda, and others who ask for it. I knew he didnt understand, so i wa splayin with him,. thats all.

Koda, you can try 3/8"., but man last thing you want is a wheel poppin off cause you didnt provide the lug nutz with enough bolt to effectively lodge and bite into. just sayin, most i would do is teh 1/4". You will notice it man, just not a drastic change, thats all.

 

oh i see wat ya mean...i was talkin about one side....sorry,

 

1/2 would be iffy with the lug length that it leaves

 

wat about 3/8?

 

maybe 5/16

 

so are these things i can buy anywhere....or should i go to a certain place...I mean can i order them off ebay?

 

Spacers

got mine from here

 

you can buy 1/4" ones on amazon or many places...I wouldn't go wider (well, I wouldn't use them at all to be honest)

 

well im not lookin for alot, once i get the wider tires, it will stick out a little more, just thought i could get some to give the truck a better stance for now..

 

I dont see wat the problem with them are? Im not gonna get the ones that have new studs....

 

Well, instead of having the shearing pressure on the base of the studs, it moves that pressure more towards the middle of the stud where it is weaker.

 

Yep, and thats why so many people hate them. But truth is, these damn trucks with six lugs dont have to have them. Ever seen all those work trucks with just two or three lug nutz holding them on. hell my last company would not fix thier damn trucks!!

 

so will a 1/4inch even make a difference? I just want my tires to stick out a litter farther...

 

it will make a 1/4" difference (not to be a smartass). You will probably notice a little, but a casual observer probably won't

 

you will notice it man, its just not gonna make a huge difference, thats all. They are mainly used for brake clearence and stuff like that. Not for making the truck wider. thats what wheel spacing is used for....

 

Yeah, if you want it to stick out...I would do it the right way and get some wheels that have less backspace.

 

yea well i didnt want them stickin out to much when i got the rims, so i went with a pretty high offset...but now id like them to stick out a little more...

 

Cragars FTW? You would make money on the deal if you got some of those and sold your current ones

 

yea but i like the ones i have now....i couldnt rock the cragars

 

Get the same wheel..different BS and sell your current ones? Or just wait for you wider tires :shrug: Dunno man. You can do the spacers...just seems like a band aid to me though.
