Wheel spacers
I am going to have a set of 1/8” wheel spacers made. Should I have them made out of steel or 5052 aluminum? I would buy a pair but nobody makes 1/8” 6 lug spacers.

Re: Wheel spacers
I would have them cut out of steel. If you're worried about rust, paint them or have them powder coated.

Re: Wheel spacers
I second that suggestion. I ran Motorsport Tech adapters (not spacers) for 15 years without issue.
6061 is the choice. |

Re: Wheel spacers
Thanks for all the help. I just got the ones I had cut out of steal. I will check this weekend to see if it all fits together.
