Hired Gun

The other day I was at the Equipment Superstore in Georgetown, Ohio. A guy had put some odd size tires on his dually. They were huge. In order for them to fit I reached between the wheels and felt around and found a steel spacer. Anyone done this on their rides?

I've never tried it, because it sounds kind of dangerous to me!!<br>Also, I've never heard of anyone doing it.

I've seen a few trucks mainly fords with them. The trucks that have them probably dont pull much of anything or at least the ones i've seen dont look like it. I would think that if you use your dually to haul that those spacers wouldn't be to safe. You can get them at those off-road shops and tire places.

Everyone we go to the beach with has spacers. Everyone runs 285's so they have too. No one has ever had any problems. I am putting new wheels and tires on next weekend and am using spacers.

heavyg,<br><br>where are you getting your spacers? Are they like the one on Dump trucks and buses, A steel ring that goes outside the wheel studs. I would like some also.

Instead of spacers for different rubber, how about these guys:<br>http://www.chromewheel.com/dominator.htm<br><br>You can go 22.5 or 24.5 aluminum wheels. The pic is sweet!!

I'm not sure where they are getting them. They ordered them from some place in Az I think....they supposably custom make them for each truck.......Takes a week.....I can get the name if you like??

You could always do like this guy!

Now that is up there : and good looking but no practical use unlike mine. As much as these trucks cost I wouldn't have one unless it was for making money.<br><br>heavyg, I would appreciate a Company name and#.<br>Thanks.
