Wheel Spacers

I ran across this place on the s-series site. They are pretty cheap for 1 1/4" and 2".

What do you all think?? Worth a shot?

Cheap is not always the way you want to go with wheel spacers. After all...if they fail, will that "money back guarantee" fix your truck because the wheel fell off? I'd recommend somewhere that is already established a reputation as making quality spacers. Unless you have some first-hand info about that place that is.

I agree with Mark. Try these guys performancewheel.com

Stay away from AIM

Ya, proven quality is always the way to go. The more I thought the more it looked a little shady.

BTW Do the performancewheel spacers come with the lugs? Also when I was placing the order for the 2003 S-10 Pick Up 4x4 the demisions stated -

Bolt Pattern: 5x121
Hub Bore: 70.3
Lug Pitch: 12X1.5 Nut

I trust them, but this is right, right??

Buy AIM, I've had no problem with the AIM spacers.
The only bad spacer that I have seen pictures of was a PW spacer.

I don't know if they come with lug nuts. They should. I personally have not dealt with performancewheel, but I have heard nothing but good things.
I got my spacers from a group purchase we had here about a year ago. We got them here

Wheel Info:
Pattern Circle Diameter: 5x4.75" (120.65mm)
Thread size: 12mm x 1.5
Pilot diameter (center bore): 2.75"

really!

The reason I said to stay away from AIM was because of questionable customer service, not poor quality.

My PW spacers have been fine. Lug nuts were not included though. Just to be on the safe side, I'd use a 99 S-10 or Blazer as the vehicle. They're all the same.

I always thought it was the AIM spacer that went bad and not a PW one?

PW will provided my lugs for 75 cents each, or buy from Autozone at similar price.

I have the spacers from the Guage Store and have had no problems with them. When I called him up I refered to the GP they had previous and he knew exactly what I needed. They threw in the lug nuts also, think I spent around $110 for the pair.

The important thing to remember with wheel spacers is, proper lug torque and checking them often.

If I ever get another set, I would like something like these. I like the raised hub section. I think its called hub centric.

Hub centric spacers would be nice.
Too bad they don't build the Spidertrax hub centrics for 4.75" spacing.

Anyone find any hub centric spacers?

I'm still watching for a pair of 1.75"-2" spacers for the rear of my truck, so that I can move the 1.25" spacers to the front.
