To the first question, yes.

To the second question, no.
The stud wont come out because the rim is pulling it through the other side.

For your third question, I dont know.
I have oem rims. The 20" rims. I wouldnt think so other than your tire be either in or out a little more. By the way, i got my adapters on ebay. The aluminum ones. Work fine for me.
cool... thanks for the info... much appreciated bro.

Hey guys, quick question: So very soon I'm getting my PA body lift and I'm gonna have to wait for new wheels and tires. But I'm anxious for that wide stance and can easily afford some new adapters. Obviously, for a little while i'll be using the stock 20'' on the stock 33s. I want them to stick out but not a whole lot. Would the 1.5'' spacer be ideal or is that gonna be hardly noticable?

Yeah I think I'm gonna do the 1.5''. I forgot that I still plan on doing new rims and tires just a little down the road. With 2'' adapters with a tire already 13'' wide might be a bit much.

Well i've posted some of the current truck on another thread, but have yet to put it on my profile. Maybe i'll do that when i get home from school tomorrow. haha. But currently I've got the leveling kit, dumped exhaust, all new stereo, nerf bars, bed liner and a few other things, my favorite-the ooga horn. haha. But as soon as the body lift is on, whcih should be going on during my Christmas break, i'll get some pics up.

I hear ya. Well im anxious to see it. prolly look exactly like mine if its black haha. what type of muffler do u got dumped?? I was thinking about doing that but i like the stock tailpipe. And i dont know if im doin that body lift anymore. I might be posting in the 1st generation forum soon. Me and my dad found an old 250 diesel 4wd. Since mine is 2wd right now i might just save the lift and big tires for that one. Im actually going to talk to the guy about getting the 250 today. Im bout to put a 6in lift, stacks, turbo....its gonna be bad

Never ever put spacers on wheels. My dad owns one of Ohio's largest tire/wheel distributors and he constantly tells me how bad they are. They put a lot of stress on your axels. I have seen wheels come off under high speeds due to them. They're bad enough on light vehicles, but to put them on a full size truck would just be crazy. I wanted to get some untill i asked him about it.
