2000 F-350 DRW 4x4. Looking to go from a stock LT 235 85R16 to a 285 75R16 requires using a 2" wheel spacer in rear to get clearance between tires. Anyone know how makes a good quality wheel spacer.
And against that we have the testimonial of DslDogCatcher who's been using spacers on his SRW axle to make it accept dual wheels for i don't remember how many years without a single issue, and I believe you have first hand knowledge of the 5th wheel he pulls with that truck. And keep in mind what he runs are the "bad" kind of wheel spacers, they move both inner and outer wheel outboard whole 3" and as a result the pair's load plane ends up darn near on top of the outer hub bearing...Buy tires that fit, and leave the spacers off. They affect you load carrying capabilities, move the load center away from the bearings causing excessive bearing wear, and are just a generally bad idea.
