I did a quick look into the spacer idea and found three different sets available at Summit for the 8 on 6 1/2 bolt pattern. They were all 1/4" thick and aluminum. The thing that concerned me was it looked like they were not recommended for trucks and vans.

I'm not hauling full loads around on a regular basis but I do plan to use my truck to haul stuff and I play in band so I haul equipment around and want to be able to hit the highway at 70.

I'm interested to hear from anybody who has used or is using spacers - what kind of driving/hauling did you do and what kind of spacers were they?

I would keep the option open in case I wanted to change it up every now and then and put those later model caps on. Most of my driving is just around town with the occasional commute to work which is 20 mile round trip.
