Now now...don't become a ricer on us. Installing the sticker of the manufacturer does not add HP. :D

I ordered my spacers from 2 different companies. They are both 1.5 inch spacers. One set is from Performance Wheel and Tire for $145 with shipping. It came with no lug nuts. They are also about .5 inches bigger in diameter. The other set came from AIM Industries for $127 with shipping. They came with the lug nuts.

Both sets look of very good quality. I now need to pick a set and sell a set if any one is interested. I will probably keep the AIM set unless someone has some reasons to pick the other. Then I am going to order a set of 2.5 inch for the back. :D

Mine are PW. I've heard to much bad, and some personal experience, with AIM. PW will include the lugs for $1 each.

Hey guys im new here :) I own a 1997 S-10 4X4 Ext cab. Non-ZR2. I want to order a set of 1.5" wheel spacers for the front and back of my truck too :) Can you tell me where to buy them? Do I need longer studs? If so can you post which ones I need or a link? Thanks!

Welcome! You might consider wheels with less offset/rear spacing if you are going to add to front and rear the same amount, the cost may be very close if you sell your current wheels.

You do not need longer studs.

Here are some threads on spacers-
Spacers , GP for spacers , Wheel spacers

Of course check out the Mod info page and its information : Spacers

After talking to adrenalnjunky, I decided to only get 1.5" spacers for the rear wheels. I know ZR2's are 3" wider than us front and rear? If I put 1.5" spacers on the front, is there any disavantage or will I run into any problems? If just adding rear spacers makes the rims look even I will stop there. I dont want my front rims sticking out too far. Thanks again. I love this site, you guy post a TON of good info. I just feel bad because I have a Xcab and not a Crewy :)

there is no disadvantage of being too wide. 1.5" spacers are not that big compared to what others are using...ext cabs are cool too :wink:
