Wheel Spacer?
 

I'm getting ready to lower my '85 Burb with Western Chassis 2.5" drop spindles. I'd really like to keep my present 1980's aluminum wheels, but I measured backspacing this morning at 3-5/8". From what I've read, anything more than 3-1/2" can be a problem.

I found these 1/8" spacers http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-sp601s/overview/. I'm pretty sure there's still enough stud thread with the spacers. What do you folks think?

I just today used those on my 62....Needed that extra 1/4" on the inside rear bedside. They worked good to fine tune the backspacing for me...good luck

IMO spacer are not the best way to adjust wheel alignment. They can work, the more STRESS/load they carry, the more problems you can have. Forged are much better the cast!! The cast one are more likely to compress/ move under high loads, causing studs to break. Check your wheel lug torque frequently, especially when first installed.
