Whats the draw back to Wheels spacers

[MOBmentality]

For the record.. referencing the tie rod issue.. this is only a problem if you are running a correct or high offset wheel in the first place.. but lets say you were running a wheel that had too low of an offset and used the spacers to get the offset correct then this is a moot point..

That being said the opposite is also true.. even if you ARENT running spacers.. if you are running some crazy offset that puts the wheels way out.. its gonna weat out suspension parts... spacer or not..

Correct offset is better.. but used responsibly spacers arent as scary as folks make them out to be.

I just bought some 1/4" spacers for my rear wheels. Hopefully they work good and don't cause me any problems.

Any one know what the hell the stock backspacing is on stock tire? I am too lazy to go out and measure lol.

5" I think on the stock wheel should be a 16x7

Mine is a 15x7 I will messure it today. 2wd though which is why my choices are so damn limiting because of the odd ball 5x5 or 5x 127 lug pattern

I'm with Brandon on this one. I need rear spacers JUST to even them up with front rims. We both discussed the rear tuck problem on these trucks. Not a really noticeable with stock rims, but with aftermarket 22's, in my case, it's look real ASSY imo. I'm going to try and find the research I did because it did not advise against using them on the rear. I plan on using on the rear only. Guys were saying they were towing shit with spacers and had no problems. Either way if there are others with spacer exp, I would love to hear your personal stories.
