Hey guys i am just wondering your thoughts on wheel spacers i am debating to put them on. i have just read some things about them and am wondering if you guys would put them on your truck. thanks in advance

 

i woudn't put them on any dodge because i heard they could really eat ur ball joints up or mess up ur allignment.
if ur just using 1" spacers it might b ok. and if u have a 4x4 def dont.

why r u using them, getting new wheels?

 

i want a wider look on my truck and yes i have a 4x4 i have nice rims and new tires so i dont wanna get new tires but if i have to i will

 

I wouldn't because of ball joint stress....but more importantly because you will throw even more road junk / mud up onto the sides of your truck.

 

ya i thought about the junk on the side of the truck and am not to worried more for the mechanical side. thanks for the input

 

I wouldn't personally, my friend had problems with them on his S10 and considering our ball joints aren't exactly the strongest I think it would be more trouble than it's worth.

 

Canadian dodge how wide a tire are you wanting to run? Cya Slick

 

if you get good ones they dont hurt anything. so go ahead and get some good reputable ones and go for it. if prerunners and chase trucks can run them and go 50 through woops i think youll be fine

 

right now i am running 265 65 18 and i wanna run 33 by 12.5 i have the room with the lift and everything just want them wider. my rims have an off set of plus 12 not sure what that means if thats good or bad for what i want

 

I myself am going to run a 285/60/18 or 285/50/20 I have pretty much made my mind up with that, I just need to make my mind up on 18" wheel or 20" cant decide as of yet.. The thing is I am going to be running a wheel with a +18 offset, different from the stock +25 to +38 offset that comes stock on our trucks..

Here are some threads I recommend reading to help you decide on what will work for you, really read in between the lines and pick apart different things.. I also did some some measuring on my truck to come to the conclusion that I can run 285 as long as I watch my overall diameter of the entire wheel package..
