from what i've read, the "backspacing" is whats different between our trucks. Those rims will sit in farther, creating the possibility of rubbing on frame/leafsprings, when fully turned.

Trust me bud, been wanting to pull the trigger on a few sets here lately as well.

 

yeah...i just read that. i should have used google first..lol. i did read though that some guys had no problems...and others did??

 

them wheels sure are purdy, though. Hell, i cant even make a complete U-turn, so what the heck would be the difference.

 

Dont know the correct answere, but theres a guy around my area on craigslist selling a set off of a newer model he had on his 2002. I want to say there the King Ranch 18's, but hes selling them as a set with the 2 inch spacers included. Never asked him anything about it, but if he's selling that way, I figure you would need something of that nature to fit them properly. Just my .02$

 

A 2" spacer???

There wouldn't be any threads left for the lugs nuts!

 

sleaddog, the way they work, is that the spacer has its own "studs", and the existing ones off the hub, gets buried into it, held on with new lugnuts.

 

I had some and they only rubbed a bit near full lock with 265s. They looked funny tucked up under the truck and drove funny too. Spacers fixed those issues. Ended up selling both and buying some OE wheels.

If you're going to get spacers try to resist the temptation to go with cheapo aluminum, opt for steel spacers.

 

Gotcha. Seem em used in wheel lug adapter sizes, never spacers tho...
