Default Wheel Spacers

I am considering using wheel spacers on my '07 1500 QC 4x4 so that I can get some 325/60R20 tires on the stock rims. Any recomended brands and what size would I need 1.25", 1.5" etc.

I got 1.5 inch aluminum adapters which work great for me. No problems whatsoever. Don't know about state inspections though. BTW, got mine on ebay. If you anywhere, you will see that they are all made with the same materials. Aluminum adapter with steel studs.

hey well i have a 2008 QC 4by4 and i was able to put 325/60/20 with no spacers or levelin kit i do admit with a little trimmin they will clear better but the only time they rub is when i am backing up and 1 is uneven then the other 1 but just a little trimming to some of the plastic they will clear.

kiker417,
Just reading this older post and wanted to ask if you put those 325/60R20 on the stock rims or aftermarket. If aftermarket, what brand and size(20x___?) How has the rubbig since you last posted to this thread? Thanks

1.25" would be good but i wouldn't go more than 1.5". You can't go any smaller either because you'll have to trim the ends of the factory studs as they will hit the backside of the wheel since the spacers wouldn't be thick enough to bury them.

I would try to get Hubcentric spacers if possible as well. Worth the extra money.

I had no luck with wheel spacers so I just bought new rims.
