Any one know how big of a spacer you can put on the 09 6.4 original lugs?

I was going 2 do 37"s on an 8" but wanted 2 use same stock 20" wheels figured if I did a 2" spacer it wouldn't rub on my radius arms

Don't think u can run a spacer on stock wheels. Stock wheels are hub centric, hub bore centers up wheel....that's why stock lugs are flat with a washer. Spacers require acorn lug nuts, they get centered up with the lug nuts, now I dont know that the stock wheel would then be centered on the spacer?! Make sense? I'd love to do the same to mine for the same reason! But that was my thought!

Yeah your right. I forgot they are hub centric.

You have to get hubcentric spacers. Cary over on PSN has them. I think 2" spacers were $440 for all hubcentric and 2.5 were around 500 iirc. I want 2.5 to run stock 08 wheel on my 02.

It's crossed my mind more then once as I love my platinum wheels but hate that my 37s rub the radius arms. So I'm gonna take a spacer and weld it the axle where the stop dowel makes contact with the axle. Make sense? It'll just thick enough to keep the tires off the arms and not loose so much turning radius.

No he doesn't have a working website yet. Or at least last I checked. You have to contact him through the forum via pm. His forum name is OBSWIZ. Might even be on here but I haven't seen the name around so I'm not sure.
