Wheel Spacers?
Does anybody know if any companys make some kind of wheel spacer on your axles to make your wheel sit out more on teh axle and not tucked in so close? like is there a way to put a spacer of somekind behind the wheel on teh axle and just extend the wheels studs, cause i just got new wheels for my truck but they sit in the wheel well way to much for my liking and I was just wondering if i could get away from that by doing somehting simple by putting a spacer of some kinda in there..if anyone has done this or has any other ideas that will work for this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yes they make exactly what you want, but they are extremely hard on axle bearings. Its your choice? Go and ask a GM or Tire shop and they should have what your looking for.

Yes several companies sell them,i think ive even seen some at Pep Boys,but like mentiond before hard on axle bearings no worse than one of those dummies with 13x7 reverse wires on their big heavy Impala,but depending on ho far you want to go.the less you go the better.but remember buy the best ones you can,dont buy the 9.99 Kmart ones,or youll regret it later.ans mke sure you follow Their torque specs.hor about extended studs and washer behing the wheel-(just kidding)
