Re: Wheel spacers or offset wheels, advice needed.

72chevy, you're right. I'm sure the offset what to account for that difference between the front and rear axles.

scottsdaleowner75 I'll check the spacing tomorrow, I just ran out of daylight.

SWB4x4 you're right. I've been looking around at prices and they are pretty cheap. If I get other wheels I'll sell the other two I'm replacing. I do like the look of the offset wheels, they stick out pretty nice.

Stocker I have heard about grinding the caliper. I'm going to investigate this posibility. I would really like to keep these wheels because they basically fell on my lap. I'll check and see what the offset is tomorrow and I'll probably be back on the forum to ask how to grind them. Do you have any tips? I assume I have to remove the calipers completely and grind on a bench grinder.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
