installed wheel spacers finally (pics) and new DD

Kabuki_notch · Aug 24, 2008

Well after year having the car and pretty much driving the hell out of it I am finally getting around to do some much needed things, Ever since I did the swap and installed my wheels they have been sitting in a little far and driving me nuts, I had spacers but just didnt feel like putting them on even know it took 15mins. Here are a couple pics the driver's side without and the passenger side with. Also here's a pic of my new 2004 GMC Envoy, due to gas prices I pretty much stole this truck when I traded in my 01 Jimmy ( I have a 3 mile commute from work to my apt)

Looks VERY nice. It makes a huge difference when you can fill out the wheel wells like that

I hope you are using a good quality spacer and lugs. I've heard of nasty things happening when lugs break because of the spacers installed...

Looks great.

But I thought you had 10" rear rims? What size tire are you running in the rear?

Also, what rear axle?

How big of a spacer did you put on?

What is the BS on the wheels to be sucked in and still be a DD wheel??

I just put some 1.5 spacer's on my 04, I love it. They are terrible about the tires being tucked in.

Wheels are 18x9's all around 5.94 backspacing with 24mm offset, I am running Fox Length Axles with, 275/35/18's. The spacer is a 5/16

That explains it. I ran into the same issue with my '95 R's. I ended up with a Baer 3/8" aluminum spacer in the rear. I also made the switch to the Steeda length APR studs in the rear. They are nice pieces.

Looks way better with the spacer, but I have still always liked your ride no matter what.
