It means they center the wheel up 2 different ways for a quality smooth ride. Also helps with load bearing.

Lug nuts center and hold load .
Hub center hold load lugs just clamp it.
Best is hub centric for hard and heavy abuse. But aftermarket has done lug centric for years with no major problems .
And lots of cheepy spacers are cast or cheep aluminum . . . If me and dont wana think abkut it go steel .
And if spacing DRW apart for fatter tires its REQUIRED to use hub centric spacers as DRW rims center off the narrow machined pad on DRW hubs .

I put aluminum spacers on every truck I own.
Like day 1. And so does Ryan.
We buy them from a wheel dealer buddy of ours but they suuuuuuure look like the cheap ebay 150 a pair ones.
These have good reviews on the dude bro cummins groups

Ask @Fastereddie about where your wheel and tire goes, when your spacer fails, on the pavement.
And take more room to complete a turn around . . Narrow rear is for tighter turning radius . So fatter rear takes more area to turn around .
I was wondering if someone would mention this. I thought about replying, but I figured mine was a 2-piece 6 to 8 lug adapter that failed, and would 100% recommend against those. Spacers (meh), your probably ok, but I won’t ever run anything except the correct wheel after that. I dodged a huge bullet and won’t test my luck again haha.
Matter of fact, I put a 1-ton steering kit on my Jeep a couple weeks ago. The wheels I had on it were 5” backspace. The passenger side tire rubbed badly on the drag link at left turn. I just ordered 4.5” backspace wheels to fix it. No spacers for me.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that the spacers might make the tires rub on the fenders when turning or at full stuff, while before with no spacers the tires may have tucked in the fenders nicely.
Wait. People here have uncut fenders?
My front fenders are cut, I doubt my tires will/would rub
Old post but.... do you put them on front and back? The link is dead which Amazon spacers ones and size are you using in this picture?
It was just the back set and I definitely don't remember anything about where I linked em from now that some time has passed. 1.5 because that clears the studs.
These are the ones I'm running the rear of my burb.
Don't have a link but there from Amazon.

So, you guys only put them on the rear tires, not all 4?
Most use only the rear to match the rear to front track.
Others do it to increase the axle widths for more sablity.
Still others do all 4 purely for looks

Rear axle is 3" skinnier than the front axle. The spacers just make them the same so it looks better.
I've heard of people putting them on the front to run late model stock wheels. But that's because they have a real deep back spacing factory.
