Question Dually wheel spacer?

I am having trouble finding "dually wheel spacers" . I can find them all over for a 9/16 thread but I think I have a 5/8 thread. I tried to use the tape measure but I don't trust my measurments that well. I know that the lug nut is 1"1/8 socket. Any one have any suggestions.

Thanks

Well He got back to me already. It will cost $380, it includes 2" spacers lugnuts shaved to 60 degrese to hold the spacer on. They are made of steel not aluminum. The website is http://www.wheeladapter.com/ I spoke to Fearless Freddy himself. He was very nice to deal with and took the time to explain why they cost so much. He said if I ordered them today he could have them made and shipped out quickly. I gotta talk to the wife and them hopefully place my order.

Why are they approximately double the price of the 9/16" ones?? All I see different is a slightly larger hole for each lug. heck, the outter ones could remain 9/16" couldn't they?

Well From the same place they are only 60 bucks higher. They are not made of aluminum. They are US grade A steel. He also said that that no one makes a 5/8 lug nut with the proper taper, so he has to have them custom made. The ones on ebay , from what I can gather, are not US made, or actually Billet. I guess I trust this guy. I may just be a sucker lol. I guess time will tell. I suggest calling him and talking to him. He is very easy to talk to and I'm sure he can explain it better.

Well heck give them a try and let me know. I already bought these and I think I will be happy. I have been told by a few people that steel is the way to go because of the stress on these wheels. Especialy when we do crazy things like turn up the pumps and haul heavy loads. I guess to each their own.

Thumbs up

Got my spacer and installed them yesterday. They fit perfectly. and wow, if they don't look awesome. I'm tellin you http://www.wheeladapter.com/ is the way to go. The only thing I would recommend is getting 2 extra wheel nuts so a person can "center" the rims. It really helped the ride.

How would you center the rims with these adapters?

No issues with the 'coined' rims and centering with the adapter?
