    Theyre handy if you need them but just remmeber, the further you space them out, the more wear and tear your putting on your front end

    Get the concentric ones made specifically for your truck or they can have a tendency to come loose. I wont ever run them personally. Just get the right offset wheel. Hell black steel wheels in a 15" flavor are 45 bucks each on Summitracing.

    ^^^ Thats what I had on my Ranger and it liked to wander all over the road. I wouldnt get any if you can help it. But if youve got free rims or somethin, then the $50 worth of spacers is worth it lol

    The offset on my rims is father out than stock, but they arent out far enough. I was thinking just bumping them out an inch and call it a day. Gives me another reason to take my tires off and rotate them.

    I dont advise this but if theyre barely rubbin, just do a 5/16 spacer. Or some washers. Iv done that before... its a bad idea because you could snap your studs off since your going further out on them

    I have a 2011 super cab XL with a 2.3 I4, bought new, 255 R15 Hankook's on OEM wheels. I have used 2 inch spacers since new. Now have 30k km. Needed spacers for tire clearance. Personal driver, no problems so far. Handles really well. Used the same on my '96 ranger, now have 400k km and no problems, front end still tight.
