wheel spacers

[Brody74]

looking to bring my back-end out further to better match the width of the front end. if i were to do wheel spacers i would need a better part of an inch on both sides.... what brand of wheel spacers do you recommend? yea sure Autozone has some, but $13 wheel spacers scare me

Someone just won a set at the AZ Bronco Stampded tonight. I think they came from Driven Auto Parts (sponsor on the top of the page)

Another generic source is Spidertracks (or something like that)

gosh i wish i lived in AZ!

Don't worry, Driven has more and is willing to sell them. The raffle was to support the local Bronco club. I guess I should have been more clear, Driven gave a set to the Bronco club as a raffle prize to raise money to maintain the hobby. Thus a good vender and the shamless plug for them.

I guess I didn't realize the rear wheels didn't line up w/ front. WH sells a set for $80 (on sale from $100)http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Aluminum_Wheel_Spacers_Kit_Blue/bronco_axle_shafts_front

I have these. when you install just be sure to use threadlocker and torque them down. had one work loose.

x2 on the wildhorses ones. No problems with them.

Fred Goeske makes some decent adapters as well, better than Motorsport Tech's IMHO.

X3 on the Wild Horses spacers. They are 1.25", which means you won't be grinding down wheel studs (hopefully) like I had to with the 1" spacers I purchased. Ah, those were good times. Actually, it wasn't that bad -just another wrinkle that I didn't anticipate but should have.

I've been usings spacers (they list them as adapters with no pattern change) on my Cherokee from here: http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Adapter_5_Lug_5_5_To_5_Lug_5_5_p/5550-5550d.htm really high quality, good prices I like to install them with Loctite red and have never had to retorque them (checked them but, never had to)-----Hans

All of spacers in the posted links are of billet 6061 aluminum....just some more expensive than others. Spidertrax's have a pretty blue anodizing but.....?:? and hub centric and lug centric really don't make a difference either, the conical shape of the lug nuts and the holes in the spacers determine how they line up. Like I said I have had great luck with mine for a lot less money but, it's your decision. A company called AOR (Advanced Offroad Research....no longer in business) had really nice ones made of billet steel.....those were nice!--------Hans

EZaccessory has great and decent priced wheel adaptors available.
That's where I got my set. 1 1/2" for the rear and 1 1/4" for the front or was it 2" rear and 1 1/2" front. well, something like that.

5 on 5.5" is still the same whether Ford or Heep
