Look into arrow craft. They make good ones from everything I've heard. I know guys that run 35s use 2" spacers.

I ran 35x12.50 with 2" Spacer and they have about an inch between the tires. Whatever brand you buy. Get STEEL Spacers NOT Aluminum.
This is where i bought mine at. Ordered them and had them in 2 days. These guys can tell you all you want to know. Just give them a call

Check with Arrowcraft, I believe they are in Michigan. Don't bother with all the other aftermarket or distributors. Call up to Michigan and talk with the boss lady. I bought my wheel spacers, wheels from her and this lady KNOWS HER STUFF!! Axle widths, frame widths, wheel spacing the whole nine yards. As a mechanic I was very impressed with her knowledge!

You will not be disappointed. I bought my stuff around 6 years ago and quick shipping, everything I needed and it all fit like a glove. She will steer you away from aluminum as she has seen the ones that did not survive. My adapters were steel and had not one single day of trouble from them in 6 years.

I just bought some steel ones for my F-350 from the place Cactus linked to, they are heavy as hell. I had some aluminum ones on my dodge from a place called Ballistic Fab, they were top notch and anodized red. I have seen some real cheap one out there though, and I think that is why so many people are scared of spacers in general.

The thing I found is I think chevrolet wheels have less off set than the others I had to put 1/4 inch spacers in there to keep 235/85 tires from rubbing I want to run 265/75 which is about 33" tall and about 10" wide

Hey Tex, I can make them for you on my water jet. I'm running over sized tires on my 84 dually. All it took was 3/8".

I have 1/2 inch in mine right now can't go anymore studs aren't long enouh you should be able to count 8 threads showing with rims and spacers in place before lug nuts are put on.

Yeah, exactly. I don't know any safe way to go more than that. Longer studs means more certainty that when you put a load on, they will snap. I'm running just oversize tires. Just needed an extra 1/4", so I made 3/8" spacers. I've made adapters for single wheel trucks, and on those you can go as wide as you want....within reason. That doesn't do a bit of good when you want space between duals....

I have a set you can have if you want. They are aluminum, and are just like the day they went in, 8 years ago. Of course, they fit tighter than your wheels do. I didn't want to have any slack. That's the difference between water jet and plasma.

Well I want to run 265/75/16 so I need a little more space I am thinkin an 1 1/2 that's the shortest spacer you can get
