Default Wheel Spacers for B3500

Are wheel spacers (2") safe to use on a B3500?

What's a good wheel spacer brand?

I think your best solution would be to go to a tire shop and have them select the correct steel wheels. That will save you the hassle of being sure you are getting the correct wheels and will be the same price as good spacers.

I find it kind of funny that they would put a V8 badge on such a large vehicle. When people ask my if I have a V8 in my van I tell them it's the V10 model...

I agree with Steve. Spacers can change the weight distribution on the wheel bearings. I wouldn't want to do that in a 3500. Maybe in a Honda Civic, but not a heavy van.

Gotcha, thanks fellas. I picked up some dodge 16" steel rims with 265-75 Load E tires from 2011 with plenty of tread for $120. It looks as if the clearance will be pretty tight in the rear, impossible in the front.

Are there any coil spring spacers (I.E. lift for the front end) for this rig? it has the 4000 lb axle

Hi ,

I think first you have to take suggestion from a mechanic because he can suggest you an appropriate spacer for you wheel & wheel spacer is good for wheels, But to select properly will make wheel best. According to my mechanic suggestion, I had also bought 25mm specers for my dodge from customadeonly & it was fitted properly.
