Anyone know a company that makes decent hubcentric wheel spacers for a k30 all im finding is for dodge ford or newer chevys. I got a quote of 370 for the real nice ones but i cant spend that currently although i plan to get them before i do any heavy hauling.
I bet you'll need 2.5" or 3" wide ones. Most of these spacers are nut centric and not hub centric. I put a set of 3" ones on my brother's 92 F350 which has a D80 under it and 35s. They've been on there for years with no issues. It was even a pulling truck before he took it out to California when he was in the marines. I just put 1.5" spacers on the front of my 72 and I got them off ebay for cheap. I was skeptical but they arrived and were nice quality and not some hack job. I'll try to see if I can find the name of the seller.
