Wheel Spacers/Adapters

[Massboy]

Put my new AM Baja's on my Blazer this past week and I'm very happy with the look. Because of the wider track of the front axle the front wheel/tire is flush with the outside of the wheel well and looks great. With the narrow track of the rear wheels the rear tire looks a little "lost" in the wheel well. Has anyone used spacers or an adapter to move the wheels out a little more in the rear and if so, which brands or types are the better.

Thanks in Advance,
Ted

Lots have rear axle is 3" narrower so you need 1.5" spacers. You 6 lug? If so cruise Toyota off road sites tons of used spacers out their

I use spacers from wheeladapter.com. I am running 2.5 in the front with 3" in the rear. It makes the edge of my tire flush with my bushwacker flares. Looks killer. Gives it a nice wide stance as well.
Word of caution though; some states do not allow spacers for inspection so you may have to remove them when you do it, and use RED locktite and torque them down to 125lbs.

Thats exactly what I am doing to my K5 blazer. But i am only doing 1.25 in front and 3" in back. should look sick, but I have stock wheels and tires still. Got any pics?

I just swapped in a newer 2004 Silverado axle, gets me wider stance and disk brakes.
