cjomanche Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hi guys, I bought some used tires and wheels and found out that the spacers that came with my vehicle were 5x4.5-to-5x5, and I want to go back to the regular 5x4.5 all around. I removed the front spacers, but I will need to keep the rear ones due to the narrower 8.8 axle. Does anyone have any recommendations? The truck currently has 2" spacers (at least), but because of the ridiculous backspacing on the wheels it sits about right. The newer wheels have a very minimal amount of backspacing, so I think I need to look into 1" spacers, however all I'm finding is 1.25"s. Does anyone know of a good quality company that makes 1" spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 there is a minimum thickness that still allows for proper length lugs. 1.25 is just fine. Spidertrax makes quality stuff. whatever brand you get, make sure they are hub-centric and not cheapie stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I ran some 'no name ' hub centric ones from amazon before going to JK wheels. They are good and inexpensive. Otherwise, go synergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Spidertrax occasionally has “blems” at a lower price. No mechanical, strength or fit issues, but may have some appearance defect. 1.25” works if all your wheels are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjomanche Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thank you for the suggestions. Ended up going with Synergy hubcentrics in 1.25. Seems like good quality and a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
