That price might be for four adapters/spacers because otherwise if you were to put just two spacers on the front the front will be spaced out wider than the rear.

I know you need 4. I thought his Ebay site said $150/pair which is $300 for all 4. $600 is a lot to spend on some CNC'd items that he's already made the CNC program for long ago.

Go back and CAREFULLY re-read the eBay item ... they will fit ONLY THE FRONT HUBS. Those are not Fred's spacers because Fred's will fit the rear hub, too. On the other hand, if you have a lathe handy, you could make 'em fit your rear hub.

The site your talking about I think is the site I could not contact and tried asking why they wouldnt fit the rears and couldnt get help from anyone. so i went with the sure bet FRED! Im not making any money by spreading the word but I give props where deserved. no games no confusion already made many of them. saving money will cost you more in the long run. Its hard to swallow $600 but then again most people would go aftermarket anyway. I kind of like this because I propably wont see any trucks with these wheels around here so it makes mine unique. Good luck in your decision. Just my 2 cents

I would dive much quicker into this mod if the set of 4 was in the $250 range. I cant honestly believe $640 for spacers is reasonable.

I guess Ill be driving on 16's for a while or go aftermarket. Bt the time I buy spacers and get the oem 20's it would have been much cheaper to go aftermarket. imho, just saying whats on my mind..

Now I didn't read the listing but if a spacer fits the front it will fit the back. There is no difference. Why would there be?

I used to think the same thing until another X-owner bought two sets thinking they'll fit F & R. There is a difference. The rear axle shafts have a fairly large diameter flange bolted to the hub ... and the I.D. on the eBay spacers is too small to clear that flange.
