Default wider front wheel stance.

I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500, with a 4" lift and im running 35x12.50x18. i am currently running 2" wheel spacers (for the stance ) and i like the look, BUT, the wheeler spacers are distorting my wheel bearings, like crazy. so i took the spacers off, is their anything i can do to get a wider front wheel stance, without using wheel spacer, or getting wider rims, or wider tiers? THANKS!

Why did you need the wheel spacers to begin with...?

Do the wheels by themselves not fit correctly?

If you want the wider stance then you're going to have to get wheels with a different offset (which will still stress the wheel bearings quite a bit).

The other option is to get some wider tires on there....

All depends on how far you want the tires to stick out beyond the fender....

i dont need them, they are for LOOKS. i like the look of the tier sticking out past the fender. my tiers fit fine with or without the spacers.

Well then you need to change your wheels to something else with a different offset.

Have fun.

Nothing you can do to prevent excessive wheel bearing wear even if you do that.

Just an FYI.
