wheel spacer look

I hope this is the right section for this,

I recently purchased a 96 f250 7.3 it came with 31's and due to my garage I don't want to lift or put bigger tires on until I move. I was thinking about spacers to get a little more "stance" The only issue is I cant seem to find any trucks with similar tires that have wheel spacers. I've found ton's of lifted trucks with big tires and spacers but nothing that is close to stock. Who knows it might look horrible and that's the reason why no one has them but before I dish out some $$$ i would like to see what it looks like.

If anyone has pictures of anything similar please post them


Thank you,
-P

Curious about this also. Looking to eventually upgrade to 35s but wondering how something like these 2 inch spacers from RC might look/work on stock wheels and tires.

Jack your truck up, set it on jack stands then set the wheels up two inch's out!!! Should give a pretty good idea what it will look like.

i would not do it. it will put tremendous strain on the wheel bearings and cause premature failure.

I have had 2" spacers on my F250 for almost 3 years, I tow haul with it all the time, no failures yet.
