How bad do they touch? What kind of rims are they going on? Stock rims Hell no! It may be a good deal but 12.50 on a daully is crazy wide! Keep searching craigslist.org

Probably could just run one wheel in the rear for a week till you get the spacer.

Yes it can be done but should it? The tire will be so sucked in the contact patch will be about 4 inches great for burn outs bad for tire life and stability just my two cents.

That's true! Seen it done on other applications where the results were not so good. But hey if it worked then do it. It's just my opinion! Can anyone post a pic of a mounted picture?

Default re: Spacers and wide 35's

I got the spacers with 35 nittos and a lift. The truck rides great the biggest thing I notice is mileage dropped about .5-1 gallon per mile but with the wide tires. I tow a backhoe and toyhauler of 18K and 15K no issues. Drive the twisties like a 1000rr no issues. Check my album for pictures
