hey guys hope this isn't a dumb question but here it goes.. i am putting some larger tires on.. ( 35" MT baja claws ) and i am going to put some wheel spacers on... that being said .. i have drum brakes on the back.. will wheel spacers go on drum brakes? will it look stupid if i only put them on the front? need some help.. BTW i have a 2001 ram1500 quad cab short box.. i have 35's on right now with slight rubbing at full crank

 

It will look VERY dumb.

 

dumb.
can you just avoid full crank.
adding spacers usually = shorter bearing life.

 

And so dose more offset. But I love my 4.03 16X8 to bad they look brown I went muddin agin.

 

It looks great on long travel trucks:






But since his isn't...

 

Thats cause you cant f those truck up They look good after the flip 20X.

 

ok , so as i thought, it would look stupid with only front spacers.. figured that...but still the question i have is... can wheel spacers go on drum brakes?

 

yes. they slide or bolt on same as the front.

 

Yes, the spacers will work on the front and the rear... but why go with spacers? It will not fix your rubbing problem.

My guess is its rubbing the rear portion of the front fender? Turn your wheel to full turn (or when ever it starts rubbing) and then picture the tire/wheel being out another few inches (or however wide of a spacer you will be using), and you will understand why it will do nothing but make the rubbing worse.

You need to do one of four things to stop that rubbing...

1. Different wheels with more backspacing or are skinnier.
2. Smaller tires.
3. More lift.
4. Get out the sawzall/hammer.

 

well, i know that it is not rubbing on the body anywhere, i know that it is rubbing on the control arm, you can hear the side lugs going clink clink clink on the arm at full crank.. not a rub sound on plastic.. and ya can see the mark on the control arm.. so i feel tha t it will in fact fix my rubbing problem.. thanks everyone, i appretitate your input and i will put it to good use
