Late models 6-lug wheels
What thickness adapter/spacers are required to run late model (6-lug) wheels?
Thanks!

Re: Late models 6-lug wheels
Boring the heels never made much sense to m. Why not turn down the center of the hub so that any later wheel would fit. I don't like spacers very much but it' up to you.

Re: Late models 6-lug wheels
For me, it was either go through the hassle of turning my hubs, or just pay a few dollars extra and have the center of the wheels bored by the guy I bought the wheels from. I don't plan on putting anything other than steel wheels on my 6 lug setup, so it doesn't matter to me that no other modern 6 lug wheels will fit. In general though, I agree, have your hubs turned so that you have some freedom to change things up in the future.

I got them from a guy I met on Instagram. He has more sets, $650 shipped.

Re: Late models 6-lug wheels
I run 22x9 GM Transit wheels with 6" backspace which I believe are the same specs as the nicer late model wheels that replace them after shipping. On the front, I have no spacers and they fit perfectly. On the back, you need to run at the bare minimum a 1" spacer or else they will hit the inside of the wheel tub.
