Thats with 31's on my truck but my truck is beyond the average weekend beater. and they are pepboy/autozone hubs. well ok 2 of them were for free because they came with my lt kit and pepboys screwed me over and didnt keep track of my warranty and well i ended up buying one from autozone. have to replace my right side again soon.

I think my rear wheels stick out about an inch as is, but the front's don't so I might just get a 1" spacer for the front's. I don't have hubs as my truck is a 2wd (It's a pavement pounder to pull my toys). So i don't think it will affect it to much. Will probably just put a little pressure on the lugs. Not enough to hurt anything I think. Thanks Gents!

I call them hubs because you have to buy the whole hub assembly. your bearings are pressed in and you cant just replace the bearings. my truck is 2wd and you have hubs but if its a pavement pounder then you are fine. If you do get the spacers post pics. good looking rims btw!

Thanks man, just ordered some cheap-O 1" spacers off ebay and only for the front because the rear already sticks out about an inch further than the fronts. I will post pics when I get them on! I have so much **** to install on this thing still!

Little treat for you all with my Shee in the back...Go DUCKS!
