Are wheel spacers bad?

I'm going to do a pro-comp 6" lift with 35s and keep stock rims for now...spacers would be to bring the wheels out a little. 1.5 Would be 6x135 to 6x135

I do not think spacers are ever a good idea, safety reasons. Big tires make it even more scary.

Wheel spacers are often a hot button topic. I have a set of 1" spacers on the rear wheels of my Mustang. They bolt onto the stock studs and then have their own studs to mount the wheel on and are hub centric. I would make sure that you use a quality spacer and hardware.

Why? I think they look silly plus the extra dirt/wear on the sides of your truck would be enough not to put them on. Now if there is a clearance reason, OK. I have a set on my skid loader so the tracks clear the body. Just my two cents. Chris

wheel spacers AND pro-comp are bad ideas!
