Hey guys I searched several pages of threads but didn't see anyone who was running the LTD. wheels with spacers. I was wondering what size I should get just to have enough not to rub. I had the stock three split spoke wheels and rubbed just slightly on the frame so I went out and bought some Eagle 0186 16 x 8 wheel which I hate ( toooo much bling ) I llove the look of the LTD wheels with a MT so that is what I really want to run. I like the simple clean look however I will be wheeling these things quite often so I need to figure out how not to rub on the frame. I have seen several places that sale the spacers and have pretty much decided to run the Trail Gear ones if one inch isn't too much. If these wheels are 4 3/8 backspacing and I run them with a one inch spacer does that mean they will fit like a 3 3/8 wheel? If so that would stick out way too far. I am looking for something like the fitment of 4.25 I think. If my estimation is right that means I should run something like a .25 inch spacer right? Please help me if you can. I am currently running the Revtek setup in the front and will have LC coils installed in the rear next week. I am also running 285/75/16 Maxxis Bighorn MT's. Thanks for the help guys.

 

hey I ran the 1/4" spacers, untill i had the arms shaved,,, Id send you my spacers but the shipping would cost what you could buy the new, check with, NAPA, Carquest etc. they are cheap, maybe $20 at most, I think mine was something like $12 the 1/4 spacer worked for me, cjeap and easy fix

 

Thanks Ric. You know this is all your fault because your rig looks so good with the LTD wheels. LOL joke Anyways I think that is what I will do along with doing a little grinding on the A-Arms. I hope it works.

 

lol,, no problem and thankx for the compliments..
with the 1/4 spacer i didnt need to do anything to the A-arms, the pinch weld, well now that you have to pound a little, or I did, lol
