Anyone know of someone who make a 1" 6x5.5 wheel spacer? My K10's front stance is wider than the rear, so I want to make the rear wider, but want to keep the same axle/wheels.
 
its that way for a reason. to cut down the turning circle.

and if i recall a 2" per side fixes this good.
 
The rear axle is right at 3" total (1.5" per side) narrower than the front, and therefore you can find 1.5" spacers from several places. Back when I still had the rear 10-bolt I used 1.5" spacers for a couple of years with 35's with no issues.

While I agree the narrower rear axle likely helps the slow speed turning radius some, I would assume the main reason they did this was for higher speed handling.
 
There is an article on this in the product review section of the website. Price is up there for them. Not sure it really helps or hinders anything other than looks. More of a form than function acc.
