So i'm trying out some 2" wheel spacers on my truck. Heard a lot of things about them so i decided to try it out for myself. Just put them in today we will see how they work. They sure do look good tho.. here's a before and after.
I had them on my last truck and had no issues, I do suggest after @ 300 miles take the wheels off and re-tighten the lugs for the spacers. I had to with my truck, they were not to loose but one good turn put them back in check. Then just check when you rotate your tires. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you i will definitely make sure i do that. I will try and get some better pics up
Check 'em often. Have a friend who had one fail (studs broke) on an off ramp on I85 in Atlanta rush hour traffic. He got to watch his wheel/tire pass him.
Personally, I buy the wheel with the proper offset/backspace for what I want. I don't trust 'em...
Numerically lower backspacing will throw the tire out from under the wheel well farther. For example a wheel with 4 1/2" of backspacing will throw it out farther than a wheel with 5 1/2" of backspacing.
Same with offset (which goes hand in hand with backspacing), a negative offset sticks the tire out farther than a positive offset...
