They're not hubcentric, but they'll do the job. Unless you're consistently hitting 160mph+ or beating your truck like you don't need it, they'll do the trick.

and what is hubcentric vs non hubcentric?

Hubcentric spacers are built to match the center of ur wheel and keep your wheel perfectly centered with the hub. They're essentially built identical to ur hub. Non hubcentric spacers can off center wheels, affect ride quality, and cause excessive tire wear. Not saying they will create any problems, but there's def that possibility

Does that stop us from doing it?
They're lug centric, as long as they're the right bolt pattern you'll have a hard time getting them off center. They literally just space, won't change anything in terms of ride quality or tire wear.
Anything bigger than 1" spacer means you won't have to cut. 1.5-2" are good spacers, and they're easy as **** to install.

hopefully with 1 inch adapter, i wont have to cut.
Would these be hubcentric? i really dont want excessive wear, since these things costed me 850 mounted and aligned.

I will see if I can track down this guy in Cali. We bought true spacers, milled from billet Aluminum. They are bolt on for the bolt patterns you specify.
Anyway, I seriously would consider what is going to happen when you space your wheel out. Nothing will change until you put your suspension through its motion, under turning conditions.
I was just out your way this weekend ironically...If i track the manufacturer down, I will try to post it. He might be more than ebay prices, but I def would vouch for his quality over some unknown vendor.
found it... damning name..but yea... http://mywheeladapters.com/

While you cranked your torsion bars, they still travel to full compression, unless you put larger bump stops on your frame to limit the travel of your lower A arm. So, tire still can go into your wheel well the same distance. That being said, when you turn, the outside edge of your tire, even on stock tires, comes close to your front bumper. With a larger offset, i.e. spacer installed, you will increase the radius, and cause a bigger rub. This will be limited to a single situation, that being conpressed suspension in a turn, probably over say 60% turning.
Just my observations from putting the biggest tires on my truck...

hmm that is something to consider, but i cant get my suspention to compress all the way as it is. its acutally pretty stiff, i can only probably compress it a couple of inches. and yes you are right i never did put bigger bump stops on.
other thing is to prevent me from taking tire off, how long are the wheel studs on our trucks? im thinking this 1inch wheel adaptor thing is my best bet, and hopefully i can pass inspection.
