Foose wheels , backspacing, wheel spacers
So I have 18x9 wheels with 5.25 wheel spacing. Right now the wheels look sucked in. What the truck really needs is 4inch backspacing to have it line up just right without rubbing anything when I turn and to make it look right.
So I bought 1.25" billet wheels spacers and now its all perfect. But reading about spacers it is making me nervous how safe they are. They are more like adapters with their own lug studs, not just a spacer. People say just check them once in awhile, like 1000 miles, make sure the torque is ok and use loctite. Thats all great except what if I'm at 800 miles and on the freeway doing 80mph and one gives out? I would consider buyng new rims close to what I have but with the proper backspacing and sell my foose wheels. Foose doesn't make the backspacing I need from what I can see. So can anyone suggest some rims or let me know your thoughts on the spacers? maybe I'm being a worry wart over it. Afterall, it may take me 6 months to go 1000 miles on this truck. |
