wheel spacers for my truck???

i was wanting to know if anyone has some wheel spacers for a 94 F-350. If you do where did ya get them? I have looked for some but they won't fit for my truck. i'd like to get bigger tires but would also like to get spacers for more room. please let me know, thanks

If you plan on using that 350 as a truck, spacers are NOT a good idea...

They put all the load on the smaller outer wheel bearing, so wheel bearing wear much faster...... plus several other issues!!!!

I wouldn't put spacers on any vehicle.

Just get really far offset rims. 10" wide rims with a 4" backspacing clears most 12.5" wide tires from the frame and springs.

Leave the wheel spacers to the Chevy guys... Cause being a tow truck driver (2001 F450 wrecker) I prefer towing Chevys any day.
