I need 2 wheels spacers for a 6 lug. Where can I find some?

retodd7711 · 01-15-2008, 12:46 AM

I bought mine from a local tire/rim shop. They can order any size you need. I've also seen them on E-bay , but I wasn't too impressed.

HavinSomeFun · 01-15-2008, 04:00 AM

retodd7711 · 01-15-2008, 04:05 AM

Just drive to Benton and go to "Tar Town". I bought a couple from them for less than $20. Didn't use them, though.

Only thing to remember is that spacers will force the stress out to the ends of the studs, and you may have some serious issues with safety. Longer studs are available but by the time you have yours replaced and buy the spacers, you will find you could have bought a set of wheels that have the right back-spacing to get the offset you wanted.

How big do you need? If you just need a quarter inch or so, you can find them at Autozone, Advance Auto, etc., or at Jegs or Summit.

If you need an inch or more you need an adapter that bolts to the hub, then your wheel bolts to it. In addition to ones that change your bolt pattern, they also make versions that retain the same bolt pattern. I haven't had much luck finding differences in price, they all cost about the same. I have gotten mine from www.adaptitusa.com .

I want about 1" maybe 1 1/2 " for the rear. Thats it, just need a little to move the tire away from the inner fender.

Where is Tar Town? I am still new to the area, family and I moved here back in June...

"Tar Town" is what they have on their personalized license plate. It's actually called Tire Town. They are good Christian people who own the place. Call (501) 778-1140 or (from Bryant) 315-9078. They are on Military Road. If you are driving on Hiway 5, going toward Hot Springs, cross over I-30 (between Landers Ford and Landers Hummer/Chevrolet and continue on into Benton. After you go through the traffic light at Congo and Military, you will need to go on toward Burger King. On the corner of Smithers and Military, you will find Tire Town on your left. They have two buildings. The one nearest the corner is the tire store/shop. The other building has custom stuff/tires.

If you are new to the area, I can understand not knowing about "Tar" Town. Folks in the area are known to have a spoken vernacular that gets to be funny from time to time. Like putting AWL in the CORE engine, if the light comes on. When yore 4WD tars git slick, you go to Tar Town and git some new mudders.
