Got these today. Now I need some spacers.

 

nice! you gonna put them on your 93'?

 

Nice. and 285's too.Should be a big upgrade on the 93

 

Yup

 

saw some on ebay for pretty cheap.or check east coast tire and wheel

 

mmm I'm still debatin on just bitin the bullet and buyin some spacers for mine. I've got 3rd gen rims and tires sittin in my shop, but I was gonna sell them and go another route...

 

They grew on me. I didn't think I would go this route, but, they look good on the trucks. I don't care for 17 inch, but then again, even my 05 chebby gasser has 17's on a factory steely. My 08 dirtymax tonner dump has 17's too. So I guess its the wave of the future as far as tires go. I like the 17's as long as the tire is big enough so it doesn't look like a ricer 1/2 inch tire.

 

They are going to look great on there!!!

 

Are you going to do the 14mm-9/16" studs? I'm thinking I'm going to end up with these wheels soon.

 

I want to use the factory 3rd gen nuts, which I got with the rims , as it lets the centers work. So I want the 9/16's for that. Now as far as how the spacers mount to the hub. I am not sure how that works. I would like to use the stock studs thats on the truck. I don't really want to pound 32 new ones in..

So that leaves me with a question. Can I use the 9/16's 1.5 inch spacer with my smaller factory studs on the truck?

 

The spacer actually uses little acorn lug nuts to attach it to the stock 1/2 lugs on the truck. then you mount the wheels to the spacer itself which has it's own studs (which i'm sure you can order in 9/16). i think it's the best way to do it.......using a 1.5 or 2" spacer off ebay . they come with lug nuts too i believe

 

schamram did the 3rd gen rim swap and he used 1.5 ebay spacers so he'll chime in sooon

 

I'm still running the factory 1/2" studs up front.
